Anniversary Lights

At last! We've been married for a full 12 months! For our Anniversary we got to go to Temple Square and look at the lights. It was bitterly cold but also very fun! This was the Friday two days before our actual anniversary. 

Inside the Tabernacle to warm up for a bit.

My fuzzy hood kinda hung out on top of my eyes all night. It was cold, I tell you.

This is my favorite tree!

^Trying out some long exposure photography. You can see the ghost people.

We happened to run into another amateur photographer guy. He had a slightly different Cannon than James and so they switched cameras and took pictures of each other. A little dark, but that's ok.

The next day on Saturday we went to Tucanos thanks to James' dad!!! It was really great and delicious. Especially a certain type of orange fish. :) We had a fun time.

It has been a great year! We lived in 3 different apartments, finished 2 semesters of school, bought a car and even graduated! (Half of us.) Those are the big things. I saw this quote from Elder Scott on a mormon message video: "Marriage provides an ideal setting for overcoming any tendency to be selfish or self-centered. ... Pure love is an incomparable, potent power for good, and the foundation of a successful marriage." A lot of things this year have been hard for both of us, but a lot more have been really happy! I'm super glad that I have James to be my husband, best friend, and good example to me of how to show love. He has helped me so much and always been there for me and I'm glad I could help him too when he needs me. All the small things he does to show he loves me are even more important than all those big things! Here's to a great 2014.
