Brittany Murphy and her writer-director husband Simon Monjack are just weeks away from celebrating their April 12 one-year wedding anniversary, and now the couple have set their sights on another milestone: Starting a family.

At a W Magazine-Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art gala over the weekend, Monjack, 38, told PEOPLE of one his goals: "...please God, next year [we're] having a family!"

Murphy, 30, added "Yes! Yes!...in about a year" they plan to expand their family. But, joked Monjack, "apprarently, according to the Internet, I already have several!"

Murphy and her British writer-director husband have endured their share of public scrutiny on their sudden marriage – via, as they put it, "the blogs."

"All these ridiculous people came out and said all this nonsense when we got married, [but] thank god we had the substance and the history within that to [say], 'Yeah, whatever!'" says Monjack, who's been friends with Murphy since she was 17. "We still don't understand what happened. It's made us laugh; it's made us cry, but it's made us stronger."

So, according to Murphy, the final solution for dealing with all the negativity: "We did stop using the Internet lately," she explained." No blogs. We're a blog-free couple"
