ONE YEAR OF MARITAL BLISS!

To celebrate our 1 year anniversary (Sunday, July 25th), we've started a blog! Some of our friends and family members have encouraged us to start one so that we can keep everyone up to date while we live far away, and we have finally decided to do it. We can't promise that it will be the most entertaining blog, but we hope that you will enjoy hearing our latest news and seeing photos of what we're doing in San Diego. We always love to hear what’s going on in your lives, so we want you to share your latest and greatest news with us, too! Because we’ve had so much fun over the past 12 months, I thought an appropriate first post would be a recap of our first year as husband and wife. (We promise that future posts will not be this lengthy!) If you'd like to see more photos, go to http://theobriens725.shutterfly.com/. Since blogs post the most recent entry first, I started our recap in the current month and worked my way back to July '09. Enjoy!
