Before I share a recap of the year that Emily sent to me, I just thought I would share her proposal pictures she emailed to me way back when!!! =)

John and I had dated for almost 4 years before getting married. Our first year of marriage was challenging since I had lost my job a couple months before our wedding. I started looking for jobs the minute we got back from our honeymoon in Costa Rica. I was lucky enough to find a job just 2 weeks after our honeymoon. I was working a full time job and going to school full time to complete my bachelor degree. My husband John was very supportive and understood I could not always go out due to my busy schedule. We sacrificed a lot of time together but still managed to find time for one another with date nights and planning in advance to set time aside for one another. I lost my job after 8 months due to the economy and began looking immediately. I dealt with stress of looking for a new job but John always kept his head up and believed I would find something soon. I was out of work about 3 weeks before and I got a call that I received the position I interviewed for. I am happy to say that I am now working at a job that I love, have completed my degree, and celebrated my 1 year anniversary with the most supportive man ever.
John and I went to Hollywood Beach in South Florida to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We spent a lot of time reminiscing on our wedding day and how fast time has flown by. We had a busy weekend which included and amazing Cuban dinner, visiting The Seminole Hard Rock Casino, listening to Reggae poolside, dancing on the tables at Taverna Opa a Greek Restaurant, playing games at Dave and Busters, and walking on the beach. I am so fortunate to have the love from my husband, family, and friends. John and I hope to start trying for a family within a year or so. I couldn’t be happier and I consider myself a very lucky girl!" - Emily
