Happy Anniversary Hun!!! xxx

Yep, its our first Wedding Anniversary today, also its 6 years to the very day we met. So a very special occasion!

Its been a year full of ups and downs, (that i do not blog about, i keep my relationship private) but we have worked together and im happy that this year brings a fresh new start, and we just cannot wait to get on with life and build a future for ourselves and our children.

I cannot believe (looking back at photos of our wedding, and talking to people) how much i have changed in just one short year, I am a lot healthier in mind and body, im 10 kg lighter at the moment than i was on the day of my wedding, i think differently, i act differently, and i find all of this a very positive thing. it means with everything i learn, i grow mentally, i take on the things i am taught and i act on them. i find it healing.

We had a lovely weekend, my SIL & BIL arrived yesterday morning to take their children back, and they offered to have Kaylee for the afternoon too, which i gratefully accepted, so Darryl, Olivia and I went to a friends wedding overlooking the Manukau Harbour, was just stunning, the rain held out too, the ceremony was beautiful, it was an Indian/NZ wedding, and the Sari's were devine!

Unfortunatly Olivia started playing up a bit once the Ceremony was over (had a VERY unsettled day with her yesterday) so waiting around at the hall for an hour before the bride and groom arrived just wasnt going to happen unfortunatly, so we went for a drive to settle her and arrived up to the spot where we got married (North Head reserve in Devonport) where we watched a guy jump off the cliff parachuting and kids sliding down the hill on strips of cardboard and familys having picnics and people relaxing, was just lovely.

Then we decided to make the most of Kaylee being looked after and we went to Lonestar in Takapuna for dinner, i had my favourite Apache fish and salad, and Darryl had the lovely looking (but i wont try because i dont eat mushrooms!) Jonny Cash Stash (i can see Emily drooling from here!) i got my meal small portioned and Darryl should of! haha it was HUGE! he brought heaps of it home with him for lunch today! then of course as it was our Anniversary dinner we couldnt go past desert (which we both couldnt finish!) and i got an amazing Jack Daniels hot choc fudge pudding and Darryl got the compulsary Kahlua and Moro bar cheesecake! seemed a shame leaving half of it behind, but we just couldnt do it! haha

From our wedding ceremony...

...Marriage is the ultimate in sharing for two souls whose parallel presence walks beside them, sharing their passions, their enjoyment of each other, supporting them in their individual pursuits as well as their joint ones. It is being a friend, encouraging and assisting one another if necessary, along a journey of love; with the happiness and strength of a true, loyal and committed partner. Marriage is two, who compliment one another well, mingling and sharing; both having the dedication to stay open to one another, revealing more of your inner selves and learning still more of each other's finer points along the way. It is an intimate adventure with this most special person....
