1 Year Anniversary {Give Thanks}


thank you.
...a conversational expression of gratitude. thanks - an acknowledgment of appreciation.

{Disclaimer: if you are NOT Billy, you may be bored by this post}

Our 1 year anniversary is this upcoming Sunday and since we are heading to Boston to celebrate, I wanted to write a special post to Billy.


Dear Billy,

We are almost 8 years into dating and 1 year of being a married couple. That is amazing! I can honestly say I'm so happy and pleased with myself that I stalked you that first year I met you...no matter how much shit I've got about it over the years. I knew exactly what I wanted; and that was you. You are finally off the market and I couldn't be more thankful to have you as my husband. You are my rock, my best friend, my love, and my other half. I'm still just as much as in love with you as I was the night I first met you and you were wearing your grandpa's 'Viper' jacket and had red Timbalands on to match {ew}. I know that at times I can forget to say "thank you" everytime I should, or to let you know how thankful I am for you, but I really am.
I hope this helps to show you that I am.
You are my world.

xo.
Katie


THANK YOU for....



treating me like a princess every year on my birthday
..and understanding that it just has to be the biggest event of the year.


putting up with me even when I drive you CRAZY...



just being so cute.


being adventurous


taking posed pictures with me even though you get annoyed with them

  

for all the wonderful vacations we've been on



for trying new things that I enjoy {like wine} even if you are a beer kinda-guy


for our FIRST HOME!
We have created so many wonderful memories here and I love having a place to call "ours".


loving me unconditionally.


 being best friends with MY best friends.



 being silly and goofy.




planning fun activities for me that you know I love



for being fun & loving with all my nieces and nephews




understanding my die hard love for Ohio State football & for giving up many of your Saturdays to spend them with me tailgaiting.



being my "SPIDERMAN" year after year.



being an amazing fur-Daddy to Rocky
...I know you'll be an amazing father one day.



for holding me & cuddling me
when I'm happy and when I'm sad.






...and most importantly...
for marrying me and making me the happiest woman <3

I love you & am so excited to celebrate *us* in Boston!
