365 Days of Collin

Wahoo! We have been married 1 year! What a year! For our Anniversary, in commemoration of it, I thought I'd create a post with 365 things I love about Collin. If this will make you nauseous or angry, just skip the disgusting details.

OK, I'm pretty sure that was 365. I kept track the whole way through. It took me a while, but it was really easy to do. And when I finally got to 365, I felt like I could keep on going. Maybe another time. This has been the best anniversary! We never celebrated an anniversary together, even though we dated for a long time before sealing the deal. I think that has made Numero Uno that much more special.

Happy Anniversary, my Love! I love you!!!
