The Best 1st Year We Could Have Imagined…

April 24th, 2010 we celebrated our 1-year wedding anniversary. With knowing that most couple’s first year is usually really tough, we feel extremely blessed to have had a wonderful year filled with love, trust, fun, laughter, growth and spiritual development and guidance. We are so thankful for all our family and friends that have been there for us to offer words of wisdom and encouragement.

With our busy schedule, we had to celebrate our anniversary the best way we know how… with simplicity. The day began with some much needed R&R as we got to sleep in late for the first time in ages, it seems.

Below, Angela is reading a very thoughtful card I picked out for her… I wrote her a special not inside as well.

A dozen roses to represent and celebrate each month of growing together deeper in our relationship.

Crosby got in on the celebration by making us one of his world famous homemade cards. It was really sweet!

More beautiful flowers for my beautiful wife!

We decided to order lunch from Pei Wei and head over the the Fort Worth Water Gardens, the place where we really began falling for each other. We ate, cuddled, kissed, talked, laughed – we were that couple you sometimes see in the park loving on each other and just makes you say, “Awwwwwww!” And yes we know how corny and cheesy we are together! The hardest part of the day was trying to photograph ourselves, but things turned out just fine for us.




This photograph really reminds me of when we first began falling deeply in love. Believe it or not, Angela is just as much a big kid as I am. It was such an amazing time being able to toss our cares to the wind and just focus on each other.

    What an amazing year it has been!!! I can’t be happier that my big bro found someone as wonderfully, and beautifully made, as Angela. The way you can capture even your own tender, loving moments on film is awe-inspiring. I’m so fortunate to have you both in my life! May the joy and comfort you feel, wrapped in each others arms, never fade…Happy Anniversary! God is Good, ALL the Time!

    Awww Lizz. Thanks. The whole point of our day was to just get away from the world for a second and remember why and how we fell in love in the first place. It was an awesome day!
