1-year Anniversary

Carmel Highlands Lobby

Our one year anniversary is officially today, April 19. The day started off wonderfully warm – it ended up getting into the 90s. We checked out of the hotel and planned to go to Borders bookstore and then spend the day at the Sea Otter Classic, but ended up deciding to go home and do yardwork. Which led to, “hey wouldn’t it be fun to buy a grill” since it was such a hot day. So we head over to OSH and buy a Weber 300 grill. It is a small gas grill that is perfect for the two of us but still big enough for when we have bigger bbqs.

Basting

We grilled some corn on the cob and bbq chicken. It was really yummy!

Wind Chimes Close Up

Jeff’s parents gave us wind chimes as an anniversary present, so we hung them up in our back patio area.

Origami Flowers for Me!

Jeff gave me his “paper” anniversary present to me – origami flowers he personally folded! It was so adorable! He was embarrased a little since they didn’t turn out quite like they were “supposed” to but I still love them. I would much rather get a handmade gift over anything else. Doesn’t he look so proud?

Anniversary Wedding Cake

After enjoying our grilled dinner we sliced up the top tier of our wedding cake. It still tasted incredibly good for surviving 1 year in the freezer. I seriously LOVE this cake. It is a Layers sponge cake with raspberry bavarian creme, butter cream frosting and covered in white chocolate. The actual wedding cake’s lower tiers included fresh strawberries but we decided to not include them on this tier since we knew it would get frozen and it might not have kept well. This is the best wedding cake EVER. No lie. I could eat it everyday (and I did eat up the rest almost single handly).

Jeff – thank you for a spectacular year of being my husband. I love being here for you as your wife and look forward to the adventures that lie before us this year and for the years to come.
