A year ago (tomorrow!) I married my best friend. Our wedding was perfect...brunch, friends, family and lots and lots of love. It was an amazing day and I wouldn't change anything about it. The day after our wedding we loaded up the car and took our first roadtrip as a married couple. Soon after that we were moving into our first apartment and starting our lives together.
When I saw Jennifer and Dustin's top ten list of their first year married, I knew I had to do the same thing. So, after you check out our list make sure you check out their fantastic list!
Top Ten of our First Year!
One: Our Wedding Day
Sure it's probably cliche to put our wedding on the list...but it's what got it all started! We had had 70 people at our wedding, close family and friends. It was the least stressful day ever. The food was amazing, we laughed, we danced, I couldn't have asked for anything more perfect! We have tons of wedding pictures...and I'm only going to tease you with one of them!
Two: Bringing Little Miss Miley Home
We brought Miley home on April 17. I spent a week searching for a beagle, we found someone who said she had a full-blooded-beagle. HA! Miley has to be the tallest beagle on the planet if that is true! She is the cutest, sweetest puppy and really completes our little family!
Three: Kaleb's Visit
Kaleb spent two weeks with us over the summer. We did alot! Mini-golf, bowling, zoo, aquarium, beach, roadtrip to South Carolina, and on his last night here....Medieval Times! We all had such a good time with him here...Miley misses her little buddy!
Four: Massachusetts for 24 Hours
We flew into Boston at 8AM, went to a my uncle's luau themed wedding, and left the following morning. It was the most fun we've ever had in 24 hours! Lots and lots of alcohol, a hangover on a plane, and crazy memories. Things like this makes me wish Massachusetts was closer to North Carolina!
Five: Paul McCartney!
My sister and her (then) boyfriend came down for a week of fun...on the agenda: Charlotte and Paul McCartney! We went out for delicious sushi and ended the night with Sir Paul. It was amazing hearing him sing Hey Jude and all the other favorites. I physically had goosebumps the entire show. You need to see him in concert!
Six: Wine and Beer Festivals

So I'm cheating, these are actually two different weekends with our favorite couple, Carmen and Mike. Lots of alcohol and lots of fun. Really, that's all that needs to be said!
Seven: Mom and Dad in North Carolina
Seven: Mom and Dad in North Carolina
Mom and Dad came down for Columbus Day weekend. We did lots of touristy stuff, me and Mom did some shopping and the guys went golfing. I love that Danny and my parents get along so well. These pictures are from our dinner at Olive Garden...I gave Danny a kiss, then Mom and Dad made fun of us!
Eight: Halloween at the Colwells
Eight: Halloween at the Colwells
This was on Jennifer's list too. I think we all credit this night for the reason Everclear can't be found on North Carolina shelves anymore. Great night...awful hangover!
Nine: Christmas in Massachusetts
Nine: Christmas in Massachusetts
Ten days in Massachusetts, two crazy puppies and lots of memories! Miley had her first taste of snow! Danny and my Dad went "couch shopping," which was really an all day Christmas party. Nerds! But it was great to just get away for a few days and spend time with the family!
Ten: Disney!
Ten: Disney!
By far the best part of the year. I love Disney and I secretly already want to go back! (Okay, it's really not a secret!)
Tomorrow starts another year of amazing memories!
