we spent saturday morning at the farmers market and the afternoon at the husker baseball game.
sunday we went to church followed by another baseball game in the afternoon. this game was h-o-t but still fun. after the game, we went out to eat at granite city. yumm.
monday i had a substitute job during the day that required me to go to the henry doorly zoo for the day. :) surprisingly, it was a bit more stressful than i anticipated. before we got on the bus to go home, i probably counted the kids 8-9 times making sure we weren't leaving anyone. not to mention the very LOUD bus ride to and from omaha. but all in all, it was a fun day to go to the zoo.
after i got home, cod and i exchanged our gifts to one another. for him; i made a book of letters from friends and family. i've been seeing his love language is words of affirmation [especially as he is trying to figure out what to do with his life]
this is what i received:
isn't it sweet?! the united states is made of cork board, and we will pin everywhere we have lived while being married. [yes, he made this.] and i can't forget these little guys...
peonies were a focus for decorating at our wedding. so it's only appropriate he gave me some for our anniversary.
one more thing! we did eat our cake for tradition. it wasn't bad, just a bit dry from being in the freezer for a year. so after our couple bites, we decided to smash the cake for fun. have you ever smashed a cake with your hand? no - and neither had we until monday.
this year has been one of the best in my life. i have been blessed by his patience, perseverance, integrity, humbleness, faith and love. i am so grateful to be married to cody; he is my provision and gift from God.

[another thank you to Dawson - our photographer. you captured the day perfectly. we are so grateful for your gift of photography and willingness to make the day/pictures absolutely wonderful.]
I loved being able to attend your wedding! What a blessing!
