Yesterday was our first year anniversary. :) We didn't really do anything that special. Initially, Matt had the weekend off, but then he got promoted and no longer had it off :( We were also supposed to have band practice last night (Jackson is this weekend), but a lot of people couldn't make it. So after going to work all day, we went to the mall and had dinner and watched Hancock. Matt wasn't impressed with the effects (mostly flying), but I still thought it was a cute show. Short too, especially by today's standards. So that was pretty much all we did - but it was really nice to spend time together. Ocassionally I'd think back one year ago to everything that happened the day we got married. I guess it was a good disruptive ceremony (take an anthropology class at UVU from Ed Andrus), because even one year later, I still remember quite a bit of it. It was kind of funny because we were sort of acting like newly-weds again. It was nice though :)

We didn't do any actual presents. Instead, tomorrow (Wednesday), we are getting new phones and our own family plan. My contract expires Wednesday, and my phone is broken, so I'm using an older phone . . but its wall charger died, so I have to charge it in the car. It seems like a good time to take another step to independence... and debt if you think about it. lol I currently don't pay for my line, and Matt only pays the $10 for his, plus any overages. Fortunately, Matt got a raise :) However, with this raise, he thinks he needs to move to Orem. We're kind of looking into it. I'm fine where we are at though, for the moment. We'll probably move out of state once Matt graduates in about 2.5 years, so why not stay with cheap rent and either a) pay off debt, b) buy toys we won't be able to afford later, or c) save for a house/increased rent OR a baby... lol

Anyway, point is, we had a good anniversary, even though we didn't really do anything "special." (Maybe one year I'll get to go to Hawaii or something.) Even though being married isn't always easy - I wouldn't have it any other way. I couldn't live without Matt if I had the choice. We're still a pretty happy couple :) They say like the first 7 to 10 (I can't remember which it is) years are the hardest. That's a long time! But at least we got the first one out of the way ;)
