Our 1st Anniversary

June 13, 2009

Tomorrow is June 13th and our 1st anniversary as a married couple. A year ago, we committed to the vows to love each other, for better or for worse. We are definitely in the "better" phase right now, more in love today than yesterday.

On our honeymoon

Thanks to receiving JR's backpay for his PTSD disability right before our wedding last year, we spent our honeymoon in the Dominican Republic, enjoying an all-inclusive resort and truly enjoying our surroundings and each other. We needed that vacation after all we had been through earlier that year and it was a nice break from reality. We hope to return to the DR one day, it is such a magical place!

Tomorrow, on our anniversary, we're going to a Dodger game with our best man and a bridesmaid. We won the tickets at a church raffle; the church we got married at, for tickets on our wedding anniversary, for our favorite team... we are lucky!

We have had a wonderful year, one that had brought us closer together and reminded us how lucky we are to have found each other. Here's to many more years of happiness and continuing our united fight against PTSD/TBI. We're going to win over this condition, and we're going to win it together.
