One Year Annivesary

I can't believe our one year wedding anniversary is coming up this Sunday. Time sure does seem to be flying these days. I'm now 3.5 months pregnant and we have been married for one year. Where has all the time gone? It still feels like yesterday when we officially "tied the knot" at NYC town hall before we jetted off to Switzerland to spend a week with our families and got married on June 21st, 2008 in a beautiful ceremony on the water. I found my vows last night and figured I'd post them as a reminder of all the promises we made one another that magical evening. Here are mine:

I never knew what I was missing until I met you. You embody everything I have ever wanted in a partner and so much more. You are kind, sensitive, smart, and most of all loving. You have such an amazing heart, and anyone who knows you can see it.

The first time we met at the The Martime hotel, I knew you were someone special. From the moment we started talking, I could feel the chemistry between us. We were so engaged in our conversation, we didn’t notice that all our friends had left us. The very next night, on our second date when you walked into the room, you took my breath away.

We had only known each other for two short weeks, when I got the news about my mom. It was the darkest point of my life, a time of absolute sadness. And yet there you were, always by my side. During one of my most vulnerable moments, you knew just what to do. There I was, locked in my bathroom crying, when all of a sudden I looked down, and there you were sliding two heart shaped chocolates underneath the door. It is something I will never forget. We had just met, and yet you helped me through the toughest period of my life. I knew I was in love with you when I saw how much you cared and took care of me at a time when you barely knew me. I will never fully be able to tell you how truly grateful I am.

Now three years later, we have been through our share of good times and bad, we have laughed and cried. We have built a life together, and have solidified a friendship that will last a lifetime. You have become such a part of me, that I no longer think of just myself. I think about us, and our future, and of your happiness.

I can’t tell you what the future has in store for us. But I can promise that I will cherish and love you, and always be there for you. I will be the best wife and mother I can be. Through sickness and in health, I will always be by your side. I love you.

This weekend we will be celebrating our annivsary with a low key dinner in DC since he has to work.
I couldn't have been more excited to receive the gift I did from him. He got me this necklace with the initial S on it in diamonds and a purple gem stone. It will have all the initials of our children on it someday. I love it baby thanks! Now what to get him...hmmm?
