One Year Anniversary

How has it already been a full year?

Marrying Jaime was the best decision I ever made.

In honor of our first anniversary I wanted to share the highlights of our first year of marriage!

January

We spent the first week of January in Cancun, Mexico with so many of our family & friends celebrating our wedding. It was such an amazing week and we are so happy we decided to have a destination wedding. Wishing we could have an anniversary trip back every year!

^I may be a little biased because its our picture… but have you ever seen a better first kiss picture? We had the most amazing photographer! I would HIGHLY recommend anyone needing a photographer to reach out to Sarah! She is taking our maternity pictures next weekend and we are so excited!

I also started lovenicoleb.com in January last year! I really love having a blog and getting to document our lives. I am looking forward to looking back on these in the future!

February

I turned 24! We spent the day together exploring Chicago and eating our weight in dessert haha.

April

We started our kitchen remodel!

This was the biggest process because we did it all by ourselves.

And by all by ourselves… I mean our wonderful family and friends all came together and helped us make it happen without hiring anyone!

I will be sharing the transformation this week on the blog!

May

We celebrated our marriage with our “at home” reception! It was so great to be able to celebrate with all of the family and friends who couldn’t make it to Mexico!

I think we failed miserably and didn’t even take a picture together that day! Oops!

Little Eli came into our lives and we are so thankful we get to be so close with him.

June

One of my best friends got married and it was such a beautiful day!

^Cutest couple!

We went to the Jack Johnson concert in Chicago!

Jaime built us an awesome fire pit in our backyard!

June 30th we found out we were pregnant! <3 haha I think I took like 6 tests just to be sure!

July

We told our families that we were expecting! They are all just as excited as we are!
We had our first annual 4th of July party!

We went to Devil’s lake with friends!

We went to the Henry Vilas Zoo! We go here every year and it is my favorite day of the whole summer! We spend the day just the two of us walking around the zoo, biking around Madison, and having a picnic at the park. I can’t wait to bring baby with us <3

We went to Vegas for Jaime’s cousin’s wedding!

It was so hot (like 110 degree dry heat hot) and I was in my first trimester so I was kind of miserable but it was great getting to celebrate their marriage with the whole family!
