And Thank you for a year filled with fun and..... er some learning experiences!
On the 2nd of May 2010, Anthony and i celebrated our first anniversary....I wont sugar coat it, our first year was tough on me because of the phsyco pregnancy sickness i endured, im sure anthony wondered 'who have i married?' when soon after marriage i assumed my position in bed and pretty much stayed there for nine months groaning with a sick bowl! (not to mention that for a good part of it anthony had to sleep on the couch as i couldnt stomach any movement in the bed). The cheery pre-married lizzie was no where to be seen, the hoped anticipations of anthony's new wife cooking delicious meals and baking lots of cakes where quickly demolished (although that wasnt just due to the sickness...im jus not that kinda girl) .....but now what do we have to show after one year of marriage???
This little 3 month old boy! quite an achievement id say, married and a 3 month old all with in a year! And this is definatly the high light of our marriage so far, and i guess our life so far! The Birth of William.
We where up in Liverpool on this date so had easy access to a baby sitter (my mum), and made plans to go out and have a perfectly lovely time......but these plans got scuppered when i got sick! so we took a gentle walk down Liverpool docks, went to the church we got married in and had a little reminisce, drove around and listened to some tunes that remind us of that time of year and said some nice sentimental things to each other..........it actually turned out quite lovely in all its simplicity and saved us a few bob!
Dear Wedding day,
oh how I loved you...from the fresh blue may morning, waking up and seeing my wedding dress hanging in my window ready for me to finally wear, getting ready in surprisingly chilled anticipation, getting nervous when the cars didn’t come to pick us up in time, walking into a chapel PACKED with beaming faces, holding Anthony’s hand listening to speakers share funny stories and sentiments, enjoying the sweet music, taking vows and lots of pictures.......enjoying a sunny reception out doors amongst the blue bells, feeling swamped with how many people there where there but loving it and wishing I had longer to chat and chat and CHAT to everyone.
The peaceful drive to the temple and a perfect and simple ceremony where we where married for time and all eternity....and not feeling freaked out by this!
...and then back to a party filled room of friends covering us with confetti, a fantastic band and a first dance to 'man in the mirror'...too much candy floss, one to many crepes, thrown into the back of trashed car, filled with balloons and footballs and waved off into the night...oh how I absolutely loved every minute off you 2nd of may 2009 and wish I could do it again!
you made it. happy anniversary
