I’ve been feeling a case of the blahs recently. Maybe it is summer coming to a close – although I love fall and winter!! Or maybe it is because I just “feel” like something is going to happen .. things are going to change, not sure why, just a feeling I have.
However, today is a super happy today! It is our first year wedding anniversary!!
Hard to believe a year ago today, we got married! In Alaska! You can read all about our wedding here.
For sure, the BEST day of my life.
I super duperly still LOVE my sunflowers
If only I had know of Jan’s sunflower jelly then, I could have turned my wedding flowers into jelly!!!! Wouldn’t that have been so cool???Although Sammy was the hit of the party
My sister made his tux!Forever and ever!
And the most awesome-est ever wedding cake
Someday I will share the recipe for our triple layer lemon wedding cake – it was so good! I wanted a cake that I could make every year for us on our anniversary. I don’t know if I am going to make it this year – I have to make it gluten free now! Definitely something to work on!
This is the Aurora Borealis we saw on our honeymoon at Denali National Park!! So cool!
So I guess we are officially not newlyweds anymore!




Absolutely beautiful! Wishing you a beautiful day with many many more years of love & happiness!

Thank you so much Aimee! It is your turn next
I’ll have to post a picture of what my hubby got me for our anniversary — he made a photo book (through Shutterfly) with pictures of us throughout our first year! Sooo sweet, and it had to have taken him forever!! Something to treasure forever for sure!!!
That is really thoughtful of your husband and so creative. Yes I’m very excited for my anniversary too!!

You were such a beautiful bride! Happy first anniversary! I still say you are newlyweds–it’s all inperspective. When I was getting a prescription once, I got into a conversation with an elderly man. He asked if I was a newlywed and I said no (I had been married 3 years). He said, “I’m a newlywed, this makes 40 years!” LOL! My neighbor still calls us the “newlyweds” although we’ve been married 12 years now. So yeah, in my book you’re still a newlywed.
Your cake sounds great–will love to see the recipe!

ahhh so cute! I agree – I think it is all relative! Thanks so much
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! You look so amazingly happy in your wedding pics–and sound like you’re just as (if not more) happy now
I love it.

Thank you
I waited a long time to find the right person (and found a couple wrong persons along the way)!
Hey, you gotta go through a couple of the wrong ones so you can really appreciate the right one (and know when you’ve found him!).

Congrats and have a very happy anniversary.
Thank you! If we didn’t have to work today, it would be a lot happier!
haha
Happy Anniversary!! The photo of the Aurora Borealis is amazing.

Thanks! It was soooo cool to see the Aurora. At first he looked at me, and I looked at him and we were like … did you see that? Then it really started to show! The funny thing is we were at a campsite, and there were people right next to us that had no clue!! First time I had ever seen it, so awesome!
I love that first picture – so beautiful!! Congrats on 1 year!
Thanks! You should see the one where he laid down on the ground looking up at me … good thing the person he borrowed the tux from never saw that one!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! You two are adorable!

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!! LOVE the pictures and oh my goodness… Sammy’s tux – what a cutie!! And of course, I LOVE the sunflower theme.
Congratulations!!
Thanks!
I knew I wanted Sammy to be a part of the wedding, and since it was an outdoor wedding my niece was in charge of Sammy-sitting during the wedding! I love how the tux turned out! Since sunflowers are my favorite, I knew I wanted them as my flowers, and found a place that shipped them to Alaska, so it worked out perfectly!
Congratulations, Jane! May you two have decades and decades more! And the Aurora Borealis seems to be a sign of good fortune on your marriage.

Love,andrea
Thanks Andrea! It was a great day, and a great anniversary remembering the day!
Happy Anniversary! What a beautiful couple. Wishing you many more years of blessings.

Thanks Tami! Since you just went through the process, I know you understand what I mean when I say the planning was fun, but I was so glad when it was over!
Happy Anniversary!! I can’t believe it’s been a year! Love your wedding pictures. You were certainly the happy bride, but then I doubt if you ever stop smiling!
So glad it’s been a great first year – and no – the honeymoon is over when YOU say it’s over. Time has nothing to do with it.

Thanks, MJ!!
Happy late anniversary! My first wedding anniversary wasn’t so happy. We went a couple hours out of town, and by the time I got there, I was very sick with chest pains and had to spend several hours in the ER. There was nothing wrong, but after that, I just wanted to go home, so my husband took me home, ugh!
I really enjoyed your wedding photos, and you looked great in your wedding dress! I think you’re the first person I’ve “known” to use sunflowers as their bridal bouquet. I think that’s unique and creative.
Thanks for sharing!
P.S. I’m sorry I don’t comment here often, but for some reason, my computer has a difficult time loading your blog page, ugh!
Also, can you send me your email address.
P.P.S. Oh, I started eating yogurt now (non-fat). Peach is my favorite.
