Celebrating our 1st anniversary

I had a magical anniversary weekend in Massachusetts. Spanish guy and I really didn't do anything out of the ordinary (except visit the Sam Adams Brewery, which was great), we just walked around, ate, slept, joked around, watched the sun rise and set and we were content. We are happy and appreciate the little things in life.

A new environment is all a couple needs sometimes to refresh their relationship and put things in perspective. We were both pretty bummed to return to NYC, but we have a lot of exciting things ahead of us, like a new place to live, a summer in Europe and Spanish guy will be getting a new job.

So although vacations are great, they are not everything. 

Our year of marriage has brought us a lot of heart ache, drama, separateness, and we were on the brink of divorce. But with a lot of love, understanding/ listening, we were able to build our relationship back up and really work on being a couple as well as loving our lives separately (if you don't love yourself and your life ALONE, you shouldn't invite someone else into it). Compassion and understanding is key in every relationship. We are both committed to living healthy, extraordinary lives (not following society) and enjoying every step of the way.

Heres to one year of marriage and a lifetime more!

CHEERS!

Early morning walk on  Nantasket Nature Reserve beach

A light house in the distance. This is serenity, New England style.

Paradise at our resort. They made it into a summer oasis @ Nantusket Resort and Spa.

Our anniversary dinner at Noche in downtown Boston, a complimentary glass of Champaign from the wait staff.

Our balcony view. amazing.

Sam Adams Brewery tour, and free tasting glasses (that we accidentally broke right after, haha)

Free party bus from the brewery to an old Irish Pub. PARTY ROCK!

We continue to build and develop our relationship intimately and openly so that we can be a model, not a statistic. Marriage is a difficult thing, but one of the most beautiful relationships one can have (if done correctly).

I document my marriage through this blog as well as my personal life and goals in order to reflect back and demonstrate that you don't have to loose yourself when in a relationship. Be an happy individual as well as a compassionate open partner.

More soon.
