Really?! It’s Our Anniversary?
September 4th, 2008 @ 4:48 pm by Mrs. Lollipop
It’s official. Mr. Lollipop and I have been married for a whole year. I’m not even done writing about our wedding and we’re already back at the same place in our orbit around the sun. (If you ever want to finish what you started never take a job at a start-up. That goes double if you’re the only one with your job title.)Plus, I think we have about 10 thank you cards left to write. Crud. I hope Emily Post doesn’t decide to haunt us. They’re also the awkward thank you cards; the ones for people who bought us things that we can’t quite identify.“Dear Aunt Bea,Thank you for the…umm…trivet? wall medallion? bumpy plate? We will treasure it always.Love,The Lollipops”Mr. Lollipop keeps on talking about how this has been the fastest year of his life; I can’t help but agree. I’m really happy being married, and I really like being able to say ’my husband’. It just has so much more impact than saying ’my boyfriend’; it’s so much more… permanent. “I’ll ask my husband” sounds like a much better deflection than “I’ll ask my boyfriend.”Actually, this is turning into an anniversary week. Mr Lollipop has a surprise trip planned for this weekend and I’ll be blindfolded for most of the drive. He also wrote a poem and did a lovely origami reenactment of our wedding day, which was perfect for our paper anniversary (see above picture).
For my part, I gave him a book of photos, including a few that he can look back in the years to come and remember when I had abs. I also chalked up the front steps with happy messages.Did your first year of marriage just seem to fly by?

Totally! my hubby surprised me too with a trip to Stockholm. Happy 1 Year!
I LOVE that chalking - soooo adorable!
Yay, our 1st anniversary is this next Monday!! We are celebrating with a trip to NYC… in November =P Sucks to have to wait so long, but better late than never!
Happy Anniversary. Don’t feel bad about the TY cards… I’m with you on that one. What is that pretty paper on the lower right hand corner?
Yes at first I was like oh one month married, two months and then suddenly it was a year and I looked bad and wondered what the heck happened. It was a good year, no big adjustments or anything, just being happy.
We didn’t do anything special to celebrate besides going out for dinner, but then again we’re having our big family wedding this fall so I guess doing th full blown wedding a little bit over a year after is enough to celebrate it.
Next year I’d like to spend a week-end in a B&B like what we had offered for our mini-moon.
Happy anniversary!
Oh wow, origami wedding reenactment and chalked steps? You guys are too adorable for words!
Congrats on the anniversary! I may not be the first to ask you, but would you consider/have you already sold your YAY flags? If you’d want to can you email me? I’d love to snag those

Yay! I’m happy to read you still have some Thank You’s left , too. I’m 3 months behind (and getting bugged by my mother). I’ve been flipping out trying to get them done this week - but good grief - POSTAGE!! Anyway - I admire people that get them done in a few weeks, however I know I’m not and won’t be one of those people. I’m glad I have company!
