one down, a lifetime to go

It's official! Sam and I have been married (more than) one year, and I can hardly believe it. 

As always, a lot has happened in the last year since we said, "I do." But, I can honestly say, it's all been wonderful. They say the first year is the hardest. I don't know who "they" are, but if I did, I'd tell them it's not necessarily true. 

Going on six years together, Sam and I's first year of marriage was amazing. It was eventful - both with obvious ups and downs - but all wonderful.

He's the love of my life and always will be.

Since we were traveling the day of our anniversary, we "officially" celebrated just one day later with a nice dinner, a trip to Tiffany's (yes, I'm spoiled) and a toast with a bottle of (extremely nice) champagne from a sweet family friend. 

If you haven't ever been to Ocean Prime, you're truly missing out. This was our first trip, and I'm sure we'll be back when we're in a position to splurge on a really nice meal again. From the tuna appetizer to the steak dinners and cocktails, we were impressed.

Isn't he handsome?!

And, to my surprise, we made a pitstop at the Fashion Mall to do a little shopping, and we walked out with a gorgeous little necklace with one single pearl. Definitely a classic piece that I can wear forever and ever. Thanks to my sweet hubby.

Cheers to MANY more with this guy.
