I’d be lying if I said I calculated this on my own.  In fact, I honestly can’t say the number without hearing the melody of the song from Rent.  Nonetheless, it hardly seems possible that an entire year has already passed since you took your vows before an adoring crowd of friends and family.

Whether through emails, texts, video chats or frequent phone calls and cherished visits home, I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing in your experiences as a new family.  I’ll admit that it’s still a little tricky learning the ropes of long-distance familyhood.  Yet I know that we’ll continue to stay close and share in each others lives.

I wish you a fabulous first anniversary and pray for countless years of happiness to come!  Congratulations!  We love you! 🙂
