January 1st

Christmas before our wedding.  Boy, I looked Young there!

Christmas before our wedding. Boy, I looked Young there!

I love the date — January 1st.

It has always been the start of a new year.  I like new years, because they are filled with opportunity, potential, and dreams.
It was a fun day when I was in college as we would often be with friends playing sports or hanging out.
It was crowned a special day for me in 2000 when I was united in marriage to Amanda Carson.
(Despite warnings of Y2K the wedding went off wonderfully.  I am so thankful for that day!)
I love my anniversary on January 1st, 2000.  I can always remember the day, the year, and it gets my year off to a great start spending it with Amanda.
It has been a day filled with memories every since.
We are blessed each year to begin a new year together with the calendar.

But it doesn’t matter what day your anniversary falls on, make it a special day.  It needs to be a celebration of your love.  A reminder to move on to a new year together.  Forgive!  Love!  Grow!  And Cherish each other!  The years pass by too quickly not to.

What memories do you have about January 1st?
