Today was my 1st wedding anniversary and to celebrate, we decided to take a day trip out to Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown, WV yesterday.  Harpers Ferry is a historic town where the WV, MD, and VA borders meet.  It’s a National Park devoted mainly to the significance it had during the Civil War.  Christina and I had gone kayaking down the river Harpers Ferry lies on awhile ago.  All in all, a short but very nice trip for anyone interested in hiking, history, or kayaking.  Afterwards, we had lunch up in Shepherdstown, a small college town in WV.  Christina checked out a few of the shops and then we headed back home to relax before dinner.  

Tonight, we went to Maggianos for dinner.  We had our reception there after our wedding but we didn’t actually get to eat at any point that evening…  We figured we might as well see if the food was any good!  Very satisfied, we’ve decided to try and make dinner at Maggiano’s a regular in our (many) future anniversaries.

While I think many people, including me, are still scratching their heads on how I came to be married, I’ve found that while married life is very different, it isn’t quite as different as I expected it to be.  She never leaves, she’s even more persistent on knowing everything about me, and she has all kinds of crazy notions on how we should spend our time and money and yet overall, the joy of the last year has been worth the hassle.
