Happy 1st Anniversary!

Well today is our 1 Year Anniversary. It seems like the year has gone by so quickly. Our life has changed in so many ways. We had an amazing trip to Belize, bought our first car together, became an aunt/uncle, Jon was admitted to an amazing university, we moved across the country all alone, I started a new job and Jon is experiencing being a student again. That's a lot in one year! Even though this transition has been trying at times, and being away from home is really hard, Jon and I have become even closer since we moved here. It seems that since we're on our own, we have to really cherish our friendship and marriage. There's no friends or families house to run to when things get tough. We've been working very hard to keep our relationship strong, especially through this stressful time. We keep reminding each other that we're almost at the end of Jon's first semester, which means only one more year before graduation.  We can do anything for a year! With how quickly this semester has gone by, we'll be through this chapter in no time. 

Although we didn't do anything dramatic or expensive, we had a nice dinner out over the weekend and went to a comedy show. It was lots of fun. Today is Jon's long day of school, so I'll cook dinner and we'll relax once he gets home. And that will be how the Hartje's celebrate their 1 year anniversary!

Glad you had a good anniversary! Thanks for the pictue - it's really good. I like the beard, Bud. By the way, we've been corrected now: FCI, not FBI. :) Love to you both. Dad/Lynn
