My beautiful family.

Josh's wonderful family!
These are Josh's drop down gorgeous sisters!
The whole wedding party!
My amazing little sister that I love!
These are the best roommates and friends anyone could ask for!
Aww.....
This is a great dress shot! This was our first dance together as husband and wife.
This was one of my favorites of the night, dancing with my sweet daddy!
Outside the reception room.
You know if it's a party, you have to have dancing. It was SO fun!
Everyone really got out there!!
Kellie caught the bouquet!
Classic!
Isn't he handsome!?
My brother-in-law caught it! He got married about a month and a half later so I guess it worked. This was one of the most fun parts about the reception. We felt like celebrities. It was a great day! ....Now scroll down and see the rest!

One Year Wedding Anniversary

On Sunday, we celebrated our one year wedding anniversary. It's crazy that we've only been married for a year. I feel like we've just always been together. I can't even imagine my life without Josh.
I woke up to find these BEAUTIFUL roses with a sweet card. I'm a sucker for flowers, and yep, I loved them!!
Aren't they gorgeous!? The candle in this picture below was the candle Josh used when he proposed to me. We use it only on special occasions. It provided a nice candlelit dinner for us this time.
What's an anniversary without chocolate covered strawberries? This is Josh's absolute favorite dessert!! We have not had them in FOREVER so they tasted even better than ever!




mMm

Josh gave me the most wonderful gift! He had a hardback book made for me of pictures that capture the memories we've made in our first year. It's a real book with our pictures professionally printed on each page. It is WONDERFUL! I started crying as soon as I realized what it was. He really put a lot of thought into this gift, and I couldn't have loved anything more! It was perfect. He deserved a little kiss!


Our anniversary was wonderful! The best part was that it was a celebration of the best decision either of us have ever made. We have had such a great year together. This was definitely the EASIEST and happiest year of my life. Josh always offers me such support and love. He works so hard to make our family great. I know he is my perfect match. He is my best friend. There is no one else in this world I would rather spend every moment with. All of my joys are strengthned because I have him to share them with. I know he'll be the best daddy in the world because he is definitely the best husband. I'm so glad we get to be together for eternity. I know we have many more wonderful years ahead of us, and I can't wait!! I love you sweetheart!

Christmas

Christmas day was wonderful in the Lee household. We started off making pull apart bread, which turned out delicious. I've never had it before, but Josh's family makes it a lot on Christmas. We thought we'd continue the tradition. It was amazing, and the best part was that it was SO easy. It took about 3 minutes of preparation time the night before, and that's it!
Josh didn't want me to get homesick on Christmas, so he and my little brother set up the webcam so we could see each other. It was wonderful! On Christmas Eve, we all read the Christmas story together. It felt like we were right there. We just left it on all Christmas morning, so it made the whole morning really special. Josh was a sweetheart to be so considerate and get all of this set up for me to have a special Christmas. It was one of the best parts of the whole day!
I woke up to find my yummy stocking filled with chocolate and apples. Just what I wanted!
Josh got his favorite candies and a rubik's cube that we won from the bookstore. I love stockings! By the looks of it, I think Josh does too!
You know we couldn't leave out our little angel. She had to have a stocking too! We filled it with bows and headbands and an adorable little teddy bear. It's hard not to spoil her already, and she's not even here yet.
Josh was dying to get his little girl a BYU onesie. He wants all of our kids to be BYU fans through and through, so we have to start them out early. He couldn't wait to get this for her! She'll love it!
We tried it on her. What do you think?
Josh's parents bought us a BEAUTIFUL baby bouncer! We love it! It's perfect because it's neutral, so we can continue to use it for years to come. Hopefully Anna will like this and it will help put her to sleep...or at least entertain her. Thanks y'all!
We bought family gifts this year for Christmas. Josh and I don't have very many games, so now we've officially started our collection. It makes for good bonding time. We also got some new DVDs. We are such movie people so we're excited to watch them all.
My parents bought us a beautiful new stroller. It's been in our apartment for about a month now, but we've been waiting until Christmas to open it. We were so excited to finally put it together. Thank goodness for Josh who knows how to do all of this handy stuff because if it were left to me, I'd probably have to carry Anna on my hip throughout her stroller years.Assembling in progress...
The finished product! It's perfect. I'm dying to just walk around with it. Thanks Mom and Dad!
This is how the bouncer turned out after we, (well Josh), put it together. SO cute huh?

We even managed to pull off a delicious Christmas dinner. We bought two pieces of sliced ham from the store, and then just made the sides ourselves. It was delicious and didn't take hardly any time to make. It was perfect!! I loved how quick it was because who wants to spend all Christmas day cooking? mMm!!
Josh was SO helpful the whole day. I didn't make one item of food without him right there beside me. He is so wonderful and always positive about helping out. This is him preparing the crust for the apple pie. He makes a pretty good chef!

I've made apple pies before but never with the lattice look on top. It was surprisingly easy and very fun to do.


Overall, we had a great Christmas. The best part was that we got to be together. We have so much to be grateful for. We both love Christmas season because we really get to reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ. He's made everything possible for us, and we're both so blessed to have the knowledge that we do of Him.

Our Fun Christmas Break!!

Josh and I are really enjoying our break so far. Since I only have about three weeks left until I deliver, we can't travel anywhere, so we're here in Provo for Christmas. It's been a great break so far. Last night, we made caramel popcorn for the first time and watched a chick-flick! (Thanks Josh!) We've also enjoyed reading Harry Potter 4 together. It's been snowing like crazy here. Yesterday, we probably got like 8 inches. We opened our blinds, turned on our Christmas lights and read together! It was wonderful. mMm....Looks good huh!?
Today, we set up Anna's crib!!!! We couldn't WAIT to do this! My brother and sister-in-law left us their old crib to use while we're here in Provo, (thanks y'all). We picked it up from our friends today, and Josh set it up. Look how cute Josh looks working on it!


How do you like the finished product? We're going to wait to buy (or maybe make) real crib bedding until we move. So we bought a little pink sheet and are using the blanket I made this summer for now. It looks great!! The bear adds a lot too! It is SO much fun having a crib in our house. It makes everything feel more real. I keep going back to the bedroom just to look at it. We can't wait til little Anna is actually in it!

We've been busy trying to get everything a baby needs. We're almost done. Today, I FINALLY got a diaper bag! I didn't think I would ever find one. This one is neutral so I can use it for future babies too! It's really big and even comes with a smaller diaper bag for times when I don't need such a big one. It's perfect! I'm so excited. As soon as I got home, I filled it with diapers and wipes and all of the other essentials a little baby girl needs. It's SO exciting!!
