One year Anniversary

**UPDATE** Chris surprised me during lunch. He showed up at my office with a bouquet of flowers and my gift. He's never done that before :) He bought me a spa retreat package at a local spa. He is so thoughtful--God, I love this guy!**

I cannot believe that I married Chris one year ago today. At this time last year (add the time difference) I was getting my hair and makeup done. I was so excited. I remember everything about that day. The ferry ride in the morning and the heart to heart I had with MOH, getting ready with my favorite ladies, seeing Chris on the bridge for the 1st time, watching my dad's eyes fill up with tears, seeing the people that I love most in the world wish us well. It was such a magical day. And even if it is just one day that I'll never get to relive, I still get the best thing from it, and that's Chris.

I can't say that we haven't had our rough patches and I can't say that it has been easy at times, but there is no one I'd rather go through life with than him. He is always there for me, in good times and bad. When I had my meltdown the other day he tried to do everything he could do get me to stop sobbing. He never complains about any money I spend, any clothes I bring home, or any TTC breakdowns that I have. He is my rock.

I cannot wait to have a child with this man and watch our family grow. I can't wait to see him hold our baby for the first time and teach them all the things that I can't. I can't wait for us to be parents. It feels like that's the one thing that is missing in our lives, especially as many have passed us by in the journey of parenthood. But, I have to have faith; faith in us, faith in God (which I can't say that I have too much of normally), and faith in fate.

Happy Anniversary to us and may there be many more :)
