367 days ago i married my best friend for time and all eternity. 

i can't believe it. time has flown by. 

but i can honestly say this has been the best year of my life. i knew i was head over heels for ben before we got married but i never knew how much greater this love could be in just another year. 

this first year has been pure bliss. bring on eternity!

i am also so glad i got to celebrate with all my best friends.

ps i know i should probably change my blog header now that it has been a year. just savoring it for a few days longer.

see you in zwei

yesterday was so bittersweet.

we had the opportunity to go down to provo and drop off ben's little brother at the MTC.

he will be serving a mission for the church of jesus christ of latter day saints in frankfurt, germany for 2 years.

i am so so excited for him that he made the decision to go but i love adam so i will miss him a ton. 

adam is kind, caring, thoughtful & fun. 

ben & adam are such good friends i know it will be hard on ben. 

but we know he is where he is supposed to be. germany is lucky to have him!

so see you in zwei (two) adam!

freedom

today, ben officially graduated from college. 

(technically he graduated in december but today he walked so i think it makes it much more official)

my parents even flew out to celebrate with us, which made it that more special. 

i could not be more proud of him. 

he worked so hard to finish school as quick as possible and still managed to get on two honorary academic lists!

congrats ben!

PS we leave tomorrow for florida where we will board our cruise ship on sunday. wow it came up so fast and at the very perfect time. never been on a cruise so i am excited to see what it is all about! see you in a week
