One Year Anniversary

Obviously our one year anniversary was in September, a year from when we got married buuuttttt it just happens that I'm that behind on blogging.

Our anniversary fell on a Sunday, so we decided to go to church in Zion and then do a little wandering and lunching there. When I came to Zion for Youth Conference several years ago we found this little pond surrounded by boulders, and I've loved that spot ever since! Being the sabbath, we didn't jump in, but we did have a fun little picnic and enjoyed the scenery!

Soaking up sun at Zion!

 When we got home I had a crafty little scavenger hunt set up for Timmy. I can't remember what all of the clues were but being our FIRST anniversary they were all related to our FIRST something or other, like the first place we met, first place we lived, first date, etc. We had to drive to each of the places and take a photo, and then he got a note from me reminiscing about that particular first and my feelings from that time and now. I think I either deleted some of the pics or I was not as creative as I thought I was because I swear we drove to like 80 more places than are shown below. Oh well!

First time meeting the fam! Technically I met them
at his sister Holly's house but as you'll see below that has
other connotations, so I used the temple as this location
since we went there the night of me meeting his fam!

Our first house/casita! Also happens to be the location
of our first kiss! But just to clarify, we had our first kiss there
before we got married and lived there. ;)
This was also the place of our first Christmas!

Our first date! We went to the Forgotten Carols at DSU, then tried to get hot chocolate at Starbucks but it was closed,
so we hit up Maverik instead. Talked for hours overlooking the city that night!

First place we met! The Hazy building at Dixie,
in public speaking class.

I absolutely love this boy with all my heart. I often think to myself how content I am with him, and our stage of life right now. I just love it. I love our time together and the way we are both developing and growing personally, together, in our careers, spiritually, and as people in a community. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how PERFECT Tim is for me. That may sound ridiculous because no one is perfect, but I mean it in a way that he just GETS me. That boy gets me and I am so thankful for all the qualities he has that make him that way. We were working up at Milgro together a couple weeks ago and one of Tim's coworkers said, "Tim is my favorite Miller!" I just had to smile and laugh and say, "He is mine too!" Everywhere he goes people love him, and saying I'm proud of him for that is an understatement. He has a great gift for befriending everyone in his path. He is a pure joy to be around, and I'm so lucky to hang around with him for eternity.

Funny side note here: There is no "First I love you" location because well... because... his first I love you and my first I love you were at different locations and therefore... different times!! Haha! We were laughing about this the other day; the first time Tim told me he loved me I just wasn't ready yet! So I just gave him a hug and said goodnight! We were outside my apartment at the time and I wasn't going to say something I didn't absolutely know I meant so... I just headed inside! (I actually think Tim told me he loved me over the phone before this but I don't think he thinks that so we'll just agree to disagree there:) Tim told me one other time after that that he loved me and again I didn't repeat it! Am I horrible or what?!? Good thing he has a tough skin and kept hanging out with me! He knew I'd come around but he definitely didn't keep pushing the issue until I finally stepped up one night and said it! Hopefully by now I've made up for all the times I didn't say it, but I DO sure love you, Tim Miller!
