happy one year!

we have been married for 1 whole year!
can't even believe how fast this year has gone by.
but it has honestly been the best year of my life.
being married is the best thing that has happened to us,
and i am so grateful i found this man!
we were told the first year it hard, and it takes awhile to get adjusted to married life, but not us. we loved every second of it! i can't wait to a million more anniversaries j!

we are so beyond lucky that we happen to be in hawaii for this special day! we are with j's family, but snuck off for a little dinner just the two of us.
it was so perfect, and we are so thrilled to be here all week.
will be loading lots of pictures after our trip!
aloha!
