End of a blog . . .
Mike and I started this blog one year ago and documented the first year of our marriage. Our next step will be to create a book of the highlights of this year to remember for the rest of our lives and share with our future children and grandchildren. Thank you for taking this journey with us on our first year. Our love has grown stronger every day and I look forward to the day I write this entry at the end of our 25th and 50th anniversary. This may be the end of a blog but it marks the beginning of the rest our lives.

Day 365: October 3, 2011
 |
| One year! We enjoyed the top layer of our wedding cake and episodes of South Park to celebrate our first year of marriage. Love <3 |
Day 364: October 2, 2011
 |
| Anniversary weekend. For our one-year anniversary Mike reserved a hotel room at the Palomar Hotel and dinner reservations at Craft in Dallas, TX. We are very lucky. |
Day 363: October 1, 2011
 |
| Progress. Very slow progress. Apparently Mike has determined doing homework is more important than doing puzzles. That's a good thing. |
Day 362: September 30, 2011
 |
| Cupcakes. I baked cupcakes and Mike decided to help by putting frosting on them and adding fruity tic tacs for candy. They were disgusting. |
Day 361: September 29, 2011
 |
| It's Autumn! Nines looks a little bit grumpy about the weather change, but I agree with the scarecrow. :) |
Day 360: September 28, 2011
 |
| Date night. Never forget to make time for each other. Our greatest advice from my CSUS advisor. |
Day 359: September 27, 2011
 |
| iPad happiness. Apparently money can buy happiness. Or at least distractions. |
Day 358: September 26, 2011
 |
| Birthday blues. I guess the birthday festivities can't last forever. Especially when you're grounded to doing homework for a week to catch up. |

Day 355: September 23, 2011
 |
| Ol' timers crew. Jim and his friends Dan and Mike came to visit for the weekend to watch the OU vs. Mizzou game. In their downtime they liked to hang out on the back patio. |
Day 354: September 22, 2011
 |
| Shots! Mike's surprise birthday party at Blu. Would have been better if Jace were there but he was a bit preoccupied . . .  |
Day 352: September 20, 2011
 |
| Bro-mance. For Mike's 29th birthday I flew his friend Jace Reed out to Oklahoma for fun and craziness. |

Day 351: September 19, 2011
 |
| Surprise! I came home today and my loving hubbie had bought me some books. I think he might be trying to tell me something. Hmmm. |
Day 350: September 18, 2011
 |
| Duck! Make was able to find a store that sells organic duck, my favorite ☺ |
Day 348: September 16, 2011
 |
| Blurry trees. An attempt to do a "drive-by" shot and capture the changing leaves. |
Day 347: September 15, 2011
 |
| Change in the weather. The fall season is slowly dropping upon us. Lots of thunder storms this weekend, yey! |
Day 346: September 14, 2011
 |
| Gingerbread poop. So I wanted to make gingerbread cookies and after buying all the ingredients realized I don't own any cookie cutters. So instead of making gingerbread men I made gingerbread poop. Mike really liked them though. |
Day 345: September 13, 2011
 |
| Hanging with the natives. In the University Union there is an elevator full of life-size Native Americans. It's strange. And really small. But apparently does not stop Erin from throwing up bunny ears. |
Day 344: September 12, 2011
 |
| Cracked. Apparently a blizzard in the winter and 60 days of heat over 100° is not a good thing for a house. Looks like we'll need to look into fixing a shifted foundation. |
Day 343: September 11, 2011
 |
| Puzzle time. Apparently the 1,000-piece puzzles were too easy so Mike has moved up to a 2,000-piece puzzle of Van Gogh's Starry Night, where every piece looks the same. |
Day 342: September 10, 2011
 |
| Snacks ♥ Homemade chai tea latte and gluten-free chocolate cupcakes. Yum! |
Day 341: September 9, 2011
 |
| Deep thought. While waiting for our wonderful meal at Coriander Cafe Mike caught up on some much needed Words with Friends time. |
Day 340: September 8, 2011
 |
| We have a visitor. Apparently our neighbor's dog has decided it was time to expand his backyard and take over ours. |

Day 337: September 5, 2011
 |
| The Garden Spider. Looks like we're getting ready for Halloween a little bit early this year. Apparently this spider isn't harmful to humans though (thankfully!) Plus it made a good excuse to play with the aperture on my camera. |
Day 336: September 4, 2011
 |
| Poker night. Although he was up in chips most of the game Mike ended in 5th place. Not bad out of 12 people at a home game. |
Day 335: September 3, 2011
 |
| Boomer! Even the OU mascots came out to tailgate at Erich's house before the first football game of the season. |
Day 334: September 2, 2011
 |
| Weekend times. Starting off gameday/Labor Day weekend right with a fruity margarita drink at Cheddar's. Yum! |
Day 333: September 1, 2011
 |
| Bizzell Library. As part of a web design project I decided to go around campus and take pictures of iconic buildings/statues. This is the library where Mike and I spend most of our time. |
Day 332: August 31, 2011
 |
| Hmmm . . . Look what I found on Erich's desk. Get out of Oklahoma in two semesters or less?! I'm on it. |

Day 331: August 30, 2011
 |
| Concert night. Apparently in Oklahoma this is as close to a real concert as we can get: Live video footage at the movie theater. They did play their entire new album so Mike was ecstatic. |
Day 330: August 29, 2011
 |
| Hard earned poker money. Mike bought us a Kindle! I get to use it for my electronic readings for class but I'm sure we'll share it on trips and travels. |
Day 329: August 28, 2011
 |
| P-p-p-poker face. Out of 90 people Mike ended up in 9th place and won a couple hundred dollars. Not as good as first place ($3,000) but good enough for us :) |
Day 328: August 27, 2011
 |
| Saturday night fun. If you visit Oklahoma for no other reason it must be for this. DNR: 11% beer brewed and sold only in the state of Oklahoma. |
Day 327: August 26, 2011
 |
| OU Concert Series. As part of OU's Howdy Week, we saw Stardeath & White Dwarves, BUCHO, and Chrome Pony. I only caught the last show and I must say the nephew of Wayne Coyne is very similar in (eccentric) style. |
Day 326: August 25, 2011
 |
| Herb Garden Experiment: Part II After last winter's herb garden finally bit the dust this summer, I decided to try growing some herbs again after all the summer traveling. We will (hopefully) soon start having cilantro to eat. |
Day 325: August 24, 2011
 |
| Sleepy time. Sadly, this is how we sleep every night. He's a pretty good cuddler. |
Day 324: August 23, 2011
 |
| Sad panda. Maybe the broken-hearted panda should have been a sign not to eat at the sushi restaurant. They had worms in their edamame. Ew. |
Day 323: August 22, 2011
 |
| First day of school blues. As I tried to prepare to teach my class, Frankie decided the textbook made a better napping spot instead. |
Day 322: August 21, 2011
 |
| The chef. Mike made an amazing meal of organic chicken, potatoes, and onions. Very tasty! |
Day 321: August 20, 2011
 |
| Live BULL riding. In celebration of Katie's birthday we went to an authentic honky tonk bar in OKC with real, LIVE bull riding. The bull was going pretty fast so all I got was a blur, but you get the picture. |
Day 320: August 19, 2011
 |
| Boomer! Erich had us over for crab night after his neighbor Dan brought back 20 1b. of fresh crab from the Florida Keys. He also bragged about his ridiculous liquor collection in preparation for the football season. |
Day 319: August 18, 2011
 |
| Souvenirs! My friend David brought me back some local jewelry from his trip home in China over the summer. Mike says I need some authentic Chinese clothing to wear them with though. |
Day 318: August 17, 2011
 |
| Paperweight. Mike's jaw nearly dropped to the floor when his Business Law book arrived in the mail. He was much happier to find out his class was only going to go through about 1/3 of it this semester. |
