...to this...
We celebrated our first wedding anniversary with a lovely dinner in the posh part of town where we used to live in this time last year, when we were trendy young renters, and for a couple of hours we almost felt like DINKYs again. I have become more accustomed to leaving Talia for a couple of hours now, and was able to completely relax and enjoy myself this time, and remember how much I just plain love going out for dinner with my husband, always have.
It has been a crazy year, and when conversation turned to our honeymoon, Nate said, "that feels like about five years ago now!" and I couldn't help but agree. Doing a wedding, a pregnancy, a house purchase, renovations, and a new baby all in one year is, quite frankly, a little bit mental. But I love where it's landed us, and I wouldn't have wanted to do any of it with anyone else.
So happy anniversary to us! Here's to many more years, most of them, hopefully, at a slightly slower pace...

Happy anniversary to you both!
And thank you for sharing your mental but brilliant journey so far.
love these photos congratulations
Happy anniversary! I haven't done anything like as huge as you have since I got married, but it still feels like a blur, so it must feel completely nuts to you! May this coming year be your year of calm! Love, Kat - Ruby - Slippers.
Happy Anniversary! And thank-you for sharing with us.
Happy Anniversary! As someone else who got married, moved into a new house, renovated said house and is about to have a baby any second--all in one year--you have my sympathies. I enjoy reading about your parallel adventures across the pond!

Happy anniversary dear! Was thinking about you. It's true, what a difference a year makes... The changes you've undergone *are* perhaps a bit mental, but just look at your beautiful family. You've worked really hard on creating all of this, and you've done a wonderful job Cate. Hugs!
I can't believe its been a year already! Wow. You really have accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Congratulations!
Happy anniversary! I thought of you guys yesterday. =) You really have had quite a whirlwind of a year, but it's been worth it, no?
I love those photos. They make me smile.
happy anniversary both of you!
Happy Anniversary (and a day). I still shake my head when I remember starting to read you almost 2 1/2 years ago... woooooweeeee. I know I mention that a lot, but still. I love it. Cheers to many more years for you and Nathaniel!! ♥
How quickly the year has flown for you and your family. I'm glad that you're happy how everything has turned out for you and Nate.
Happy anniversary!!
Those pictures make my head spin. Now dish, what was better? The wedding, or the first year.
xo, with lots of snuggles to the baby.
Happy anniversary! What a year you have had!
Happy Anniversary. Wow the year has gone quick. Can't believe how much you've managed to squish into a year! Just imaging how many more great things you three can do with the rest of your lives. How exciting!
Happy Anniversary! And what fun is life if it isn't at least a little mental? You two look as happy in the second photo, if in a different way.
We just passed the year mark ourselves, it's flown. We have no intentions of slowing down.
What a FEW years! I still remember when I first "met" you through a comment on my blog, when you were Guilty Secret, just working through your relationship, before the engagement, before the marriage, before the baby. And look at you now!
It's awesome, and I'm happy to have been along for the ride. :)
Happy Anniversary and Congratulations Cate! What a ride eh? The best kind :-)
Congratulations! I would still love to see pictures of these house renovations!
Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on a wonderful & very full first year to the Subrosa family!
Congratulations Cate. What a year.
(was thinking of you at the weekend wondering if your anniversary was sometime this week!)
Wow, what a change! Your family is beautiful xx
What a year. Congratulations, and may this coming year be just as good, only quieter!
Wow, it's been a year already. Did the anniversary give you something to look forward to in the darkness of winter as you had hoped. Here's to many more anniversarys and more crazy, yet totally doable, changes!
Brunhilda - can't seem to remember my log in.
Cate,
My life only I'm doing it backwards. Your vision of marriage and motherhood really inspires me. Thanks!
Hi Cate,
I know it's been a long while since I've been around. I can't promise that I'm back, but I would certainly like to be back. I visited my own blog and the ones I used to read and realized just how much I've missed the love and support I used to get from and give to my blog friends.
Anyway . . . all that to say, I've caught up on several of your posts, and this most recent one made me tear up with joy for you and Nate. And beautiful little Talia! Oh my gosh, she is a gorgeous baby, with a wonderful name, and two obviously doting and loving parents. She is a lucky child.
Congratulations, Cate. On Talia, on your first year of marriage, on your first home, and on your happiness. I'm happy FOR you.
Em
Happy anniversary!
