{year one}

oh. my. word. this first year of marriage has flown by!

we look back and think of all of the fun and incredible things we've done:

honeymooned in Antigua

went to HHI

lake trip

I started my first job as a special ed. teacher

many VOLS football games

vacationed in Naples, FL

diagnosed and treated melanoma

dale graduated from undergrad

dale got in to MEDICAL school

we got a puppy

wrecked my car

moved out of our first teeny apartment

got our first home

The Sharpe Family!

We have seen and accomplished so much in our first year of marriage and have enjoyed every minute of it. "They" say that the first year is the hardest but if that's true then bring on the next 50+ years.

I finally got to wear my wedding perfume again!

For our 1st Anniversary we decided to make it pretty low key since a) cannot do anything too extravagant because we have Mr. Polo and b) it was father's day and Dale's dad was in town!!

 Dale's aunt gave us a very nice bottle of Cabernet when we got married and said to save it for our first anniversary. It was hard because we loovee cab. but we did it! We took our anniversary cake, some wine glasses, our bottle of wine, a quilt, and a candle to a park by the river. We laid it all out and just enjoyed each others company while the sun set. After the sun set, we laid under the stars and watched hundreds or thousands of lightning bugs light up the field! It was beautiful and I would not change it for the world! 

Picnic by the river

  

Monday night, we went to a nice restaurant in West Knox. to enjoy yummy food and each other's company. 

I love my handsome husband!
