Happy Anniversary

Happy anniversary to myself and Mr. M two days ago. We didn't really do much the day of, but two weeks ago, we stayed at this bed and breakfast in this room. Quite nice.

So many people talk us before we got married that the first year is the hardest. We were supposed to fight all the time and drive each other crazy. We had a chat about this a few days ago. Both of us agreed that the hardest part of being married this year, was not the being married part, but the moving and starting over part. Trying to make new friends, work crazy jobs, and just adjusting to a different way of life up here.

Of course, we both have things about us that drive the other one crazy from time to time, but it hasn't resulted in any huge fights. So it turns out that both of us have been pleasantly surprised that the marriage part of this year has been so nice. (My personal opinion is that it helps we married later in life.) And lest anyone is too concerned about our fiances from the last post, we could afford to buy a sound system for our anniversary present to ourselves. We were also very proud of ourselves that over the past year, we have put over 8 grand toward debt repayment (mostly left over from grad school and having to buy a "new" used car.)
