eleven months

In April of 2010, 

I was living in Olympia

I was packing for South Carolina

I was addressing wedding invites

I had lots to do and a brain that thought "WEDDING" 24/7

I was enjoying cherry blossoms

I was experiencing a need for rain boots

I had my first bridal shower

April of 2010 was my last full month sans Carson. 

I saw him twice that month: once for Easter and once the day I left to go home (he took me to the airport)

A year ago today, I had thirty days to go until I was his bride. 

whew, he had some shaggy hair! he was kind enough to cut it for the wedding

Today, I have thirty days left before I've been his wife for twelve months. 

We've learned a lot. 

Grown a lot.

Fought a little. 

Loved each other more. 

Being engaged was great. Planning a wedding was great. But having that behind us and being married? So great. 

Plus, no stress about it raining on the wedding day this way :)
