One Pretty Thing

Good morning lovely readers. I hope everyone had sweet dreams. I am hanging out in bed with my coffee, trying to talk myself into getting up, but its so cold in our bedroom! Ugh. This weather makes it really hard to be productive. 

My mom and I popped into Anthropologie this past weekend and I came across this adorable dish towel. It has the traditional gift given for each anniversary listed- how fun is that? As a newlywed, I am still totally enamored with all things that celebrate marriage. I think this little pretty will have to be mine.

The gift for the first anniversary is paper and I already have an awesome idea. I promise to share after I give the hubs his gift.

Dear Husband...

Ok, I know its not Friday, but my parents were in town and I spent Friday with them running around, hence no "Dear Husband" post...better late than never, I always say...

Dear Husband...
What an awesome week! We are on track with our training & our finances and I am so grateful to have a husband who is not only my best friend but my partner in life. You make me feel empowered and in control. And totally secure-which is such a freeing thing.

Thank you for always being there to encourage me when I feel discouraged or blue. So yeah, I wasn't a rockstar runner this weekend, but hearing you tell me I can do it makes me believe I can. You are my rock.

It was totally amazing watching the rough edit of our wedding video together. What a perfect day that was. I wish I could marry you all over again.

Thank you for reminding me to slow down and have fun. Thank you for always hearing me. Thank you for loving me, even when I'm grumpy or whiny.

You are the cheese in my macaroni.

Dear Husband...

Happy Friday lovely readers! I have an announcement... I've decided to devote my Friday posts to my husband. Why? Well, I love the concept of Today's Letters and read it everyday. The Loerkes are such a sweet couple and their blog is such an inspiration to celebrate all of the moments in marriage-both big and small. I love the idea of being able to go back through these posts and remember the millions of things that make my husband so amazing. So here we go...

Dear Husband...
This year, we celebrated our first Christmas and New Years Eve as marrieds- here's to a bazillion more. I love that we are making our own traditions-like having a Christmas Date & opening our gifts just the two of us and exchanging ornaments every year as keepsakes.

We are one week into our training for our first Half Marathon and you are THE BEST training partner. I look forward to our runs together so much! I couldn't do this without your encouragement and support. When we were almost home last night and I really wanted to stop, you put your hand on my back to let me know you were right behind me, and I knew I could make it the rest of the way.

Thank you for bringing me coffee in bed every morning and kissing my nose before you get up. And for being so sweet when I have bad dreams- you know just what to do to make me feel better.  I want to always remember all the funny, sweet, amazing things you do for me.

You are the best. I'm so lucky to be your wife.
