Anniversary Present--Year One

Today is my first wedding anniversary. The first anniversary is paper. I planned ahead...way ahead.
I bought a little moleskin journal at an after Christmas sale. They're a little pricey, but they're classic and will last forever.

Almost everyday, beginning January 1, 2009, I have written something about Chuk that I either appreciate or am grateful for. Because I began in the months just before our wedding day and have continued it through this first year of marriage, we get a really interesting perspective on how the institution of marriage has changed our relationship.
He liked it. His eyes welled up with tears when I gave it to him. We're a sentimental pair.

  1. What a wonderful idea! I wish I'd thought of something like that when I got married almost a year and a half ago.

    Chuk seems like a very thoughtful husband, based on the entries I can see.

    Happy anniversary!

I know word verification is a pain, but I'm getting a lot of spam comments, more than I can keep up with. I hope you'll leave a comment anyway. I really appreciate you reading and love hearing back from you.
