Anniversary Weekend

Love is not a feeling, it's a behavior.

That's the quote on my calendar this month. Quite appropriate for the month of my husband's and my first year anniversary. Besides learning the correct grammar for expressing the 1st person plural, one year of marriage has taught be how true the above quote is. That being said, we've had it pretty easy. Sure marriage is work but its joyful work when the person you're married to is as kind, understanding, sweet, and focused on the larger picture of our love even during the occasional squabbles as my husband. The work this year has been mostly in dividing household chores and being intentional about romance and our relationship when those chores and obligations mount up.

So the plans for the weekend include spending a night at the hotel we stayed at on our wedding night, going out to dinner, toasting with the flouts we used on our wedding day (we'll actually use alcohol this time!), eating the one piece of cake we saved from our wedding cake, watching our wedding video, recounting memories from the wedding and honeymoon, re-reading the questionaires we filled out during our marriage counseling, buying ourselves an anniversary present (breakfast nook!), and opening cards from family members.
