Celebrating One Year

I still can't get over that I am married and that Josh is my husband. Or just saying "husband." And even though nothing day-to-day has really changed in our relationship, there's just something about being married that makes my heart a little happy. It's definitely the best. Being married to Josh is the best. And with this year being pretty hectic for the both of us - a nice weekend getaway was exactly what we needed. Our anniversary would also be the first weekend we've gone out of town alone since our honeymoon!

We had talked awhile back about taking off a few days of work and maybe going somewhere like Nashville (I've been dying to go!)...aaand then our anniversary kind of snuck up on us out of nowhere. So instead, we decided to do something that was within a few hours from where we lived. Josh ended up finding a cute country hotel in Williamsburg called Wedmore Place - that also happened to be right next door to a winery!

We had an amazing time celebrating! I loved visiting the little shops in downtown Williamsburg and eating at the local restaurants. Williamsburg is very dog-friendly, too - I was slightly regretting we didn't bring our furry family member with us!

The best part of our weekend though was our anniversary dinner back home at Trummer's on Main. Josh and I love, love, love trying new restaurants - and this by far, was the one of the best meals we've ever had. Not to mention the best service we've ever had. They took the time to make our evening so special - everyone (hostess, waiter, bus boy, and wine server) greeting us a happy anniversary, our secluded and intimate dinner seating, and a complimentary dessert at the end of the night.

And the rest of our night was perfect. We spent it going through our wedding album, exchanging gifts, and snuggling with our pup. My parents even picked up Georgetown cupcakes for us while we were out of town - including some of the same flavors we had from our wedding day!

Josh is the best thing that's ever happened to me (besides Vega, of course). I don't think I can pick just one thing that I love most about Josh - but if I had to, I'd probably say his charm. He's so easy to get along with and talk to, and anyone that meets him for the first time instantly love him. Or maybe it's just those blue eyes?

Looking back, I would've never imagined that a guy that I met at a party in college would one day be the man I marry. We loved every crazy little thing about our first year and can't wait for all of the adventures that year two has in store for us!
