The Best year yet!

St. patty's day 2009- downtown after the parade!
My new Treddy!
March 17 1998
Well it was our anniversary last Tuesday-yes we got married on St. Patrick's Day. Jay is Irish, so that is a big holiday in his family. We decided it would be fun since both of our favorite color is green! Jay also joined the church on march 16 1997. So this was one year and one day, so we could get married in the temple. We chose the Las Vegas Temple. It was a beautiful day 72 perfect degrees. I had lived in Las Vegas for my junior and senior year in high school and had kept in contact with friends and leaders that I wanted to be there. My aunt Nancy and Uncle Paul live there as well. We had our reception at their beautiful home. It was a great! I had everything I could've ever wanted. To this day there are only two things I would change. More dancing and less recieving guests. Also I would've had a ring ceremony so all of our family could've taken place in that. Other than those things- Perfect! As it should be!
So this year was the best anniversary ever! It was 71 degrees in Cleveland! That has never happened! First I ran on our anniversary present to ourselves- The tredmill! I have wanted one sice I ran track in highschool. Cleveland winters are so long and it has been very hard on me over the years. I get really down when I can't run. So now problem solved! SO, we went downtown with our friends and had the BEST day! We went the parade and then just played outside by the lake. We also went to the Great Lake Science Center. Fun, Fun, Fun! This is also Jay's last year of school- so this time next year he will be graduating!!! Well in may. You are all invited to the biggest graduatuion party ever!! I'm not kidding- WE've waited for the light at the end of the tunnel and it's almost Here!!!

Thanks for blogging about the wedding...I was wondering why the Las Vegas Temple was the one you picked.
