One Year Already!

Well, we are going to have our ONE YEAR anniversary in 2 days. I cant believe how fast the time has gone. Between Matt's school, my work, all our trips out of town on weekends, getting Wiley, time with friends during the week, working on our house, etc.... its just flown by. It's been the best year of my life so far. I cant wait to see what's in our future!
We are celebrating this whole weekend in various ways. Matt has homework for his ACCOUNTING class that he's taking this summer (Im so proud!! and I can finally help him with homework!) so we wont be completely free. Tonight we're going to First Friday in downtown Bryan. This is one of our favorite things to do! There is "Art Step", which is a showcase of local artists and photographers at different galleries, and you can just walk in/out and browse. Also, all the restaurants and bars are open late, and its a big event for the community - lots of people come out, and you inevitably see someone you know. Tomorrow, we're going to our friend's son's one-year-old birthday party! It's going to be a big cookout, playing washers and watching babies smash cake all over the place. Good times. After that, we're coming back to Bryan to eat out at Christopher's, one of the nicest restaurants in town. It's a steakhouse with EXCELLENT food and dessert. This will be our big celebration dinner. We decided not to get each other gifts this year... because.... drum roll.......
next week, we're going to the BAHAMAS. Random! I know. Our friend's dad owns a sailboat, and sailed it down to the Bahamas a couple of months ago, and we have the opportunity to visit him. He and his wife will be staying in a hotel, and we will be living on the 2 bedroom, 2 bath sailboat, free of charge. So, pretty sweet deal and too good of an opportunity to pass up. We feel very blessed and lucky to be going and can not WAIT to be beach bums living on a sailboat for a few days. It feels like a dream! This actually IS my dream; live in a tropical place and be a beach bum. So, I will be journaling our trip on here and cant wait to post pictures of beautiful, turquoise and green water. Last year we were in Jamaica on our honeymoon on Matt's birthday, and the way it worked out, this year we'll be in the Bahamas on his birthday. I told him I could get used to spending his birthday in the Caribbean every year if he could.... ;)
til next week.......
