Last Night, Josh and I celebrated our 1 year together. We were actually in IL for the REAL date (Sept 16), so last night we had a date to celebrate with each other. I met him at Solera, which is a restaurant in Downtown Minneapolis where we had our very first date. He met me there with flowers. I was so happy!!


After we sat on the rooftop (just like before) and had an Olive plate (just like before) and some other treats, we went over to the Sculpture gardens at Walker Art Museum. That was where our third date was. We strolled around and had a nice time. we walked through the flower canopied garden where we had our first kiss, and of course, he stopped me at just the spot where we had kissed before. so sweet. Then, once it got dark, we went to uptown and had a drink at Tum Rup Thai, where he took me for our second date. I discovered a new wine that i really like. It was very citrus-y! anyway...we had a nice little romantic date, retracing our steps from when we first met. It was really special. Gosh, i just love the way he looks at me sometimes. His eyes....he just looks so full of love, and most of you probably know what that feels like...you've all probably seen that look before in your husband's eyes, but man, i never knew how that really felt. I never knew what it felt like to be truly, truly loved by someone. (family aside, i know you all love me). It's an amazing feeling. I see him look at me that way, and my heart just bursts with love for him. I'm glowing just thinking about him. I honestly feel so blessed to have found him. I'm thankful every day that he was brought into my life and that he was created, just for me. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him!

I love You Joshua Paul, thank you for being everything I've ever wanted, and everything I've ever needed in the love of my life. You are truly an amazing man. hugs and kisses.

*sigh* I'm in love...
