One Year:)

Yesterday was our one year anniversary:) It fell on Easter this year, but Easter was later than usual. I wonder how many times we will celebrate both in the same day?
We were lucky enough to have 5 days off together and that in itself is a celebration:) we got to do lots of fun things on our time off, and I am so grateful for this weekend we had together. 
Saturday night we went to Acres of Land Winery in Richmond for dinner. It was delicious, and the atmosphere was lovely.

That night we came home and watched our wedding video. I can't believe it has been a year since then!
Yesterday morning we went to church. We just love southland. Last year on Easter they did baptisms in the pond and Philip got baptized. It was such a special moment for both of us. This year at church they showed a video of baptisms and Philip was actually in it, and so we got to watch him getting baptized again. What a happy day:)
I hope you all had a wonderful Easter and were able to spend time with family and reflect on the wonderment of Jesus rising from the tomb.
* I have to take this moment to brag on my mom. Traditional "one year" anniversary gifts are paper. She took the wedding picture above and made this:
the background is the scripture we had read in our wedding
I love it so much. We were so spoiled with gifts, cards, texts and fb posts from so many friends wishing us a happy anniversary. Each one means so much and we are so blessed to have the family and friends that we have. Thank you all for loving us and taking the time to wish us a happy celebration of our first year of marriage:)
Philip is so good picking out flowers:)
