One Year Ago

Two hearts became one and joined together in a decision that would change their lives forever. Yes, this weekend we are celebrating our first anniversary together as husband and wife. It's hard to imagine that one year ago, we were both preparing for a wedding, and now we are together, and expecting our first child.

It especially was apparent to us because we spent the weekend at the wedding of one of Melissa's sorority sisters from college. Meli played the piano for the entire service so we were there all weekend, watching as they went through the same steps we did June 3 last year. I think we both agreed that although we would marry each other again in a heartbeat, we would only do it if there was no wedding involved :)

Then we went out to eat at a very nice restaurant in Rockwall and we went ahead and exchanged our gifts then. She got me tickets to Spamalot the musical and had a family bible engraved with our name "The Bilyeu Family" on it. I bought her season tickets to her favorite thing, the Texas Ballet Theater.

Finally, we spent the rest of the evening registering for Nathan at Target. It's wonderful seeing all that baby stuff, but a little overwhelming when you realize how much stuff it takes to bring a baby home. We picked up some great onesies that say things like "Instructions not included" and "Nothing's wrong, just testing you."

Anyway, it's going to be a long day today with church, youth, piano lessons, and a frozen cake top defrosting on the counter.
