This Friday is our one year anniversary. I’d always heard how hard the first year of marriage can be and I’ve gotta say - it was pretty fantastic. This year ended up being about setting up our home and starting a family (hi Max!).

After a month of barely leaving the house, Aaron and I are finally starting to adapt to our routine with Max. Some of the best advice we received about the first few weeks with our newborn was to cherish as much as of it as possible and remember that the...
