1 Down an Eternity to Go

Yesterday Flash and I enjoyed our first year anniversary together. Flash gets up every weekday at 6:30am and head off to work by 7:00am. Normally I'm awake and he'll give me a kiss goodbye as I'm eating breakfast and watching the Today show. If I'm still asleep he'll come in quietly and give me a gentle kiss and an "I love you" before heading off to earn his keep.

Yesterday morning I was still in bed (not asleep but in bed) and Flash came bounding into the room yelling, "Happy Anniversary!" landing on top of me and finishing it all with a hug that squeezes the breath out of you. We laughed and congradulated each other on surviving our first year together and joked about calling in sick to work to spend the whole day together.

But alas we decided to be adults and he went off to work while I stayed in bed realizing I still had 20 minutes before I really had to get up.

About the time I was ready to get up I heard the truck pull in on our gravel drive way indicating Flash did not have to work that day. I then had the idea that we could actually take the day off for our anniversary. Once he came in it was decided and I emailed my work to let them know I wasn't coming in.

We did everything from laying in bed to going to Home Depot to buy a new faucet for our kitchen. We hung up the decorations I got over the weekend and headed out to Caldwell to transfer our old truck plates to our new one (smaller, greener, more economical version of what we had before). We went to my parents house who were also taking a day off and played on the Wii fit (I'm very sore in the legs and abs)while also visiting with my brother who just came home from BYU-I for the fall. We saw an early show of "The Dark Knight" (Christian Bale and Heath Ledger are amazing! AMAZING I tell you) and then went to dinner at Olive Garden.

We had a wonderful day together and I feel so blessed to have that man in my life.
