It is official-We've been married for over a year :). How fun. I woke up this morning and reminded Seth that we have been married for 367 days and our 13 month anniversary will be soon. Then comes our 4 year all together anniversary in October :). I was quickly reminded that we have hit the one year mark and we are done with days, months, and all together anniversary. We are only going to be celebrating our marriage and only our marriage annually from this point forward.
I'm kidding a tad-over exaggerating it somewhat. But it is also some-part truth.
Please don't judge me. :).
Fortunately-Seth and I enjoyed a wonderful Anniversary meal on the 15th. We went to a very elegant (in our opinion) restaurant and went to town ordering everything we thought would be delightful. When one of us would question the other-the response would always be 'But its our anniversary'. Needless to see our bill should be placed in its own category in our budget 'Anniversary Dinner' :). (Maybe should even start saving for it throughout the year!) Seth decided that we would go all out every year for our anniversary-every year. We definitely started this tradition on the right foot!
Unfortunately-Seth wouldn't let me whip out my camera to take pictures of any part of our meal. He specifically told me 'no' on numerous occasions when I would attempt to reach down for the machine to capture the setting, appetizers, entrees, or us :).
I will just say-that it was a beautiful setting. The food was presented magnificently (Using elegant words due to the elegant place). And my date was looking mighty scrumptious :).
Most of you who read this still are Southerners or at least raised in the South-so you may be aware of a Wedding Tradition we have. It isn't as common out here in Utah. Most folks save their wedding cake topper and eat it on their first year anniversary. Seth and I left the topper in SC and luckily my Mom mailed it to us. It got here just in time to notice it had thawed out :).
It got here pretty early-we were worried it might go bad before our anniversary-so we dived into it on the day it arrived. Here is a picture.
Seth went straight on in to cutting the cake. I was absolutely certain my romantic (haha-joke) husband would go into this huge spill of how wonderful I am-how much he loves me-How great it is to be married to me-How fantastic I make his life. How PERFECT I am as a wife. Most of you catch my drift by now-I was dreaming obviously :). I know my man-he is not a gushy-romantic. He loves me in every way he knows how and it is a wonderful love that I couldn't imagine anything more-He warms my car up for me in the winter-scraps the snow off of it-fixes my car-puts gas in my car-takes care of the trash-vacuums-locks our home up-makes me coffee every morning-wakes up at 5:03 with me-cooks my breakfast on the weekends-bakes me yummy bread-and more-I would just take all day going on. Anyhow-it didn't happen like that. It happened like this :
So I just dived right in too-like this:
The cake was still very tasty-and just yummy. We even ate another slice the next day. Hopefully there is no superstition about eating your wedding cake a few days earlier than your anniversary-if there is, please don't tell me about it :).
As you all know I'm a silly countdown type of girl-I'm also a silly bragging type of girl too. I have gotten to be completely giddy over flowers. I love having them around-I feel like they brighten me up and smell just too pleasant. My wonderful man got me flowers for the anniversary day. They were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. He comes in to our home with his golf clubs in one hand and my bouquet in his other. I wish I would have gotten a picture of that!
After staying in our bed and breakfast that served us homemade white bread as toast-I began craving it. While Seth was gone playing a few holes of golf-I decided I didn't need my bread man to make it for me. I was determined to master it on my own. I tell you what-that stuff is easy-time consuming-delicious.
I really just put this picture up again for the flowers :).
It was good-
So-sorry to disappoint all of you folks-but this will be my last post on our anniversary. Whoop :)-I'm sure that is what most of you just yelled out. Thank ya'll for sticking with me and my giddy anniversary posts-but again I promise this will be the last one. Hope everyone's week is great!
A few final things:
-I just finished reading 1. A time to Dance and 2. A time to Embrace by Karen Kingsbury. Wonderful books. I boo-hooed like a kid in A Time to Embrace-Highly recommend!
-Jay and Stephanie will be here Tomorrow evening! Seth and I are in the works of completing their itinerary.
-I am having my first 'girls night out'-tad excited about it-But it is only because Seth has 2 interviews in Tooele again that I couldn't go to with him. Wish him luck and pray for his safe travels!
The Cook's :).
