Love is the dawn of marriage, and marriage is the sunset of love
French proverb
(my photo, outside Ku de ta, Bali 2010)
We’re back from our anniversary/Mr. Spend ‘n Chomp’s birthday. It was filled with meals on beaches, white water rafting, and meanderings through local markets (posts coming soon). This is the first trip we’ve taken since we’ve gotten married where we weren’t accompanied by or met friends and family along the way. It was a fantastic way to celebrate our first year of marriage – one that was filled with a return to student times, moving to two countries, and finally creating a new life together here (we expect to be here quite a few years).
Some say the first year of marriage is tough, It wasn’t for us though we certainly encountered challenging times in regards to the moves and the uncertainty. But we’ve been solid listeners, supporters, and partners through it all. It’s a daily process and one you get better at along the way.
Here’s to love, marriage, and ending the day together beautifully.
Have a lovely week!
aww, i agree with the last part =)
Happy anniversary! It looks like you found a wonderful way to celebrate together!
That a very senusous French quote – one readon more why I live in France and adore all things French. Welcome back to Blogland, my lovely!
Here’s to good health, friendship and laughter filled days;-)
Happy anniversary and best wishes for many more!
Happy anniversary! I hope that quote isn’t true lol
The first year of marriage was the hardest for us, but we had never lived together so there was definitely some adjusting. I think we’ve found what works for us now–knock on wood!
Beautiful post and photo! Congrats to both of you and happy anniversary – cheers to many, many more 🙂
I’m so glad you had such a lovely anniversary!! We are almost a half year through ours and so far so good!
That picture is gorgeous. I used to live someplace like that and I miss it.
Happy Anniversary and Many more to come! 🙂
P.S. We didn’t drink that juice we stomped out. It’s only for fun, health dept. doesn’t allow the vinery to use that juice! 😉
Sounds like a wonderful trip.

The first year was quite easy for us.. but we have now been married over 2 years and i feel like we are in a rough spot. We also have had a lot of adjustments to work through… but we love each other and just keep moving through it!
