one year down ...


and on .... to the next !!














Matthew and Michelle Kirk ..... October 18, 2008























This Man is Mine ....
















and Oh ... How I love Him
















I can't even begin to describe our first year of marriage .. but I will say that both Matthew and I have learned a ton and continue to. I'm so happy Matthew is stronger than me because I most definatly need that from him. I'm blown away by the patience and optimism he has .. I think we are begining to understand what it means to truely fall in love with each other ....

thanks to you all ...family and friends who have shared your love with us, it has made us stronger together

so ... in celebration Matthew and I treated ourselves for surving the first year... with a massage some needed clothes, dinning out and turning off the phones, allowing ourselves to feel unplugged from the world for awhile !!
( I recommend it )

Oh how shocked I was by Matthews cunning and clever ways of totally taking me by surprise. He surprised me with this gorgeous antique chair that our good friend Ernie Flynn delivered to our house, while we were away !
Then at the Hyatt (sweet hotel)... we were watching my favorite movie... The Nightmare Before Christmas when i hear some sort of high pitched churping and beeping from under my pillow .... and he reaches down and whips out this incredible phone... i was so touched because not even three days before i was throwing my phone at the wall in frustration of it 's lack of working ! so this new phone was such a sweet and unexpected surprise !!!
(Thank you Dallas)
Literally this weekend has been ideal I couln't have asked for anything more ...

I love you boo happy anniversary
