The holidays have been so amazing!! I just can't believe how fast this year has gone by. It is so weird to look back on all of the fun things that have happened. 2011 has brought so many incredible memories for us! So, I thought I'd share a couple of those fun times.
Our first date...
Seriously, one of the best days of my life. Jason came to the door, met my mom, and picked me up like a gentleman. We went to dinner with a group to Texas Roadhouse (yum!) and waited to be seated for an hour! When we first started to get to know each other Jason was so quiet, so I definitely was not expecting him to be so fun and outgoing on our date! It was so amazing. He made me laugh and smile all night, and made me feel so comfortable. We played games and hung out afterward. He was so charming and handsome I could not stop looking at him! When he dropped me off, he gave me this big bear hug and I did not want him to let go! I remember texting my cousin and saying " I am going to marry this guy!" I thought he was so kind and extremely attractive. Little did I know... :)
The first time Jason said the L word...
We were at a friends house and I started to fall asleep. Jason started nudging me saying my name, but I was so tired I ignored him the first couple times. Finally after about the fourth or fifth nudge I tiredly said "yeah?". BOOM. There is was. "I love you." Ummm what!?? I was so not prepared for that, I started to panic! So...I pretended I was asleep. Uh, hello! Who does that? Well, apparently I do. Later on when I "woke up" Jason asked if I had heard what he said, and, what do you know, I totally denied it. For like a month and I half I completely denied ever hearing him first say it (even though I had finally told him I loved him too within that time period). I will never hear the end of that one...haha!
Ring shopping...
Oh my. When we went and looked at rings was borderline nightmare. So, we get to Jared and I was so terrified of going inside. We sat in the car for so long finally I told him maybe we should look in the mall, so we go to the mall, walk inside, and no way jose. I was scared to look anywhere! Jason was getting so frustrated, I felt so bad, so I told him "OK. Let's go back to Jared and I promise I will go in!". We got there, got out of the car, and sat on the curb for about 15 - 20 minutes. I don't know what was wrong with me because once we finally went in, everyone was so nice and it was so much fun!
There are endless amounts of stories and adventures we have shared this past year, and I look remeniscing on them, but I am so excited to start a brand new year with my sweet husband!!
meet the coopers
So, we've been married for a little over 2 months now and it is so much fun! People ask me all the time how I like being married and I'm just thinking "Um, my husband is freakin' hot, what do you think?" haha. But really, I LOVE it! We have so much fun together! Having Jason has been like having the human version of a swiss army knife. One minute he's my goofball that will dance crazy and be silly with me, the next minute he's my best friend/ therapist, the next he's my protector, and so on and so forth. 
We have kind of been figuring out "our thing". Every couple has their own way of doing things, their own traditions, and their own style that makes them...well... "Them". I feel like when you date, you get to know each other as individuals and have fun developing your relationship, then when you're married you start getting to know yourself as a couple, because you've become two halves of a whole. It has been so fun to get to know the characteristics and personalities that our marriage has! We have started to settle in to "our ways" and I love it!
Lately, we've been totally getting in to the television series Lost. So, we set out blankets and pillows, get our hot chocolate and start watching! Typically we have to keep pausing the show because I can't help but have a million things to talk to Jas about, not to mention the bets we place on what will happen in each episode! This is pretty much a nightly routine now. Jason always gets tired before I do though so usually when he first starts getting tired we both know we can probably get one more episode out of him then it's time for bed!
Right before bed we do this thing called "Apples and Onions". We both first share an "onion", which is one thing we didn't like about our day, then we share our "apples" which are the highlights of our day. It has helped us to let out any kind of frustrations we had during the day then once that's out of the way, talk about and focus on all of the good things in our life. Everyone should try it!
So pretty much this whole post has been a little random, I just had so many things on my mind! To sum everything up: I am so so so grateful I married this man. Five years ago I would have never guessed I would be here, but I'm glad I am. It's crazy how much time changes things.
