A Year to Remember

It's hard to really believe that it has been over a year since the day that I looked across the alter at Kevin and was promised an eternity with him. I guess it's one of those times in your life where you realize time doesn't stop and will pass you by if you don't bear it in mind.

Well in celebration of our one year of being happily married, Kevin decided to take me to the Space Needle in Seattle... that was an expensive, but worth while adventure! You can see everything from clear up there! Absolutely beautiful! They even take your picture before you go up... Not our best smiles, but hey it came with the ticket so we took it!


We then walked (ran) to Pike's Fish Market... passing a bunch of scary looking and smelly hobos... only to see that the Fish Market was closed! What?! This pregnant woman about died trying to keep up with her husband in order to see this place, imagine the disappointment! Haha jk, we just laughed and ended up sitting on a little patch of grass overlooking the bay. We then made our trek back through the scary downtown area to our parked car that was running out of time to be parked.

After debating about whether we wanted a movie or fancy dinner for a bit, we decided we'd rather talk and reflect about the last year. In other words, Olive Garden won out. We had an amazing day... I was spoiled rotten by Kevin, but then again I'm always spoiled rotten with this guy by my side.

This last year has been a year of growth and change for Kevin and I. We have fought, we have laughed, we have cried, we have traveled, we have survived... and will slowly begin to thrive again.

We decided our little boy's name on earth will be Eden Garth Hinton. He is and will forever be the "keeper of our perfect place", which is what his name means. And although he's different and wasn't what we were preparing for, we love him. I think this year has been hard already, and I know another hard day is approaching, but I can't help but say that I've loved the ride so far.

Eden and us are a family built for forever. A family that started a little over a year ago, and a family that is promised for the outreaches of eternity and beyond!


Gosh, I have the man of my dreams and a perfect son... indeed... I am spoiled rotten.
