To The Love of My Life, Happy Birthday!

Today we celebrated Aaron's 33rd birthday. It was such a chaotic and busy day, that I honestly feel like I'm about to pass out, but he had an amazing time and I was so thankful to be able to celebrate with him. This is the 3rd year that I've been able to celebrate his birthday with him, and the first as his new wife! 

Today consisted of waking up early and getting decorations and the cake, plus having breakfast with the little one and my sister. 


After we made it home, we rushed to finish decorating before Aaron got home from golfing. I wrapped up his present [which was seriously so hard to keep a secret from him] and we finished everything about 20 minutes before he got home. 

He was super surprised by the decorations and the fact that I got him a gift since we just purchased a new car for him, but I couldn't help myself since he has been going on and on about how badly he wants a surround sound for our living room. His reaction was definitely worth it! 

We ended the day with my family stopping by to eat pizza and watch the UFC fights and had some cake. It was such a great time. But the best part of it all was that I got to spend it with the man who makes my world go around. 

Aaron,
Everyday I think of how lucky I am to wake up by your side. I'm blessed to call myself your wife and your best friend. We have a beautiful life together and our love is something I will never take for granted. Thank you for loving me, supporting me and encouraging me on this amazing journey of life. Happy birthday my love!

I'm back!

Today, I decided to write a new blog and was blown away that the last post I did was exactly one year ago! I have so much to update...

2013 has been by far the BEST year of my life. It started in February, on Valentine's Day, when my best friend and the love of my life took me to Vegas and asked me to be his wife! Everyday that I get to spend with Aaron makes me thankful that he chose me to spend his life with. In July, Aaron and I made it official in front of my parents and grandparents. We went to the courthouse and had a very special day surrounded by my family.

We've almost been married for a month now, and I'm still in awe of how lucky I am to be Aaron's wife!   I've always been one of those people who said that "marriage is just a piece of paper," but marriage has changed my life. Even though many of the things we are do are relatively the same, our commitment to each other is so much stronger and I know that we are truly reliant on each other to nurture our love and relationship.

And so begins the new chapter of this blog.. Our Golden Life - obviously a play on our last name to document life as newlyweds and our sweet adventure of life!
