A year ago I was with my family having our last Family Home Evening 2 days before my wedding.
A year ago I had no idea all of the surprises marriage would bring. A year ago I was hanging out with my bridesmaids- (all wonderful ladies who don't get to keep touch with me now that I am married and living further away).
A year ago I could fit into my clothes and didn't worry about people asking me if I was pregnant even though I am not. A year ago Jake fit into his clothes too!
A year ago I had a lot more energy than I do now. And yes, I'm pretty sure I was more fun then.
A year ago I had no idea that living in Logan would be so hard for me.
A year ago I had no idea I would become a business owner.
A year ago I had no clue how to run a store, deal with employees, etc. - I am still trying to figure all that out!!
A year ago I had the energy (or thought I did) to work full time, go to school full time, and run a business- then I hit 25 and feel like my body gave up on me. Did anyone else feel like their body completely changed at age 25 or am I just majorly out of shape? :)
A year ago I was planning for our honeymoon to the beach- this year I can't wait for our 2 week trip to the beach.
A year ago I had no idea how difficult it was sometimes to live with a male :)
A year ago I didn't understand how much I would grow to love Jake even more.
A year ago I was looking forward to spending time with my best friend. - This year I am looking forward to a wonderful lifetime with my best friend.
This next year I want to be a better wife. I want to try to cook dinner more and be more patient and loving.
This year I look forward to all the new adventures and lessons we will learn.
This year I am going to find a better way to deal with the stress of life and not let it overwhelm me.
This year I am going to learn to focus on the most important things and ignore those things that are not important. I am going to learn to ignore them instead of wasting my time criticizing or talking about them.
This year I am going to take more time to stop and listen and care for those around me.
I want to make this year better than the last.
Here's to another year, Jake. I love you.

the energy thing is from being married. i hit it way before i turned 25! for dinners i have figured out what it is i am always craving and wanting to eat out and i've googled and googled until i have figured how to make most of the things we eat when we do go out. it has helped save a lot of money. :)
I just turned 26 in January and totally agree with you. I feel as if I am having a mid-life crisis....my body doesn't feel the same and I just can't handle stress the same. I've come to the conclusion that the "20's" aren't the greatest but I've heard the 30's you really come into your own...I guess I'll have to see. LOL! P.S. It took me a whole year to learn to cook....I've got it down now and we will celebrate our 4 year anniversary this year. Your doing great!
What a great post Kristen! Isn't life such a wonderful adventure!?! I hope your anniversary was wonderful & wish you both many happy years to come! :)
What a year huh. I really liked this post!!
25!?! You're just a spring chicken ;-) wait till you hit 30. I've been married 3 years and neither one of us can fit in our premarital clothes. The good thing is, we love each other no matter what we look like. That's the best.
OH honey, you are young and have so much ahead of you! Trust me 30 feels much different than 25! Take care of yourself and you will be fine!
Happy Birthday to you today - I love you!
