One Year of Wedded Bliss!
Can you believe it's been a year already?

| The seedling we planted on our wedding day, exactly one year later. |
When I look back, it seems so much has happened, but it also amuses me to think we've been married a year already... like seasoned vets ;)
My parents got us a room at Alderbrook as an anniversary gift, so we headed up yesterday to enjoy the evening together. It was the perfect getaway and gave us the opportunity to relax and reflect on our first year of marriage (we also started a reflection journal that we'll update each year. I posted the Year in Review section of it below)

We headed to Robinhood Villages for dinner and were surprised with a private table by the creek.
When Kevin called to make the reservation, he'd mentioned our anniversary, so they set up a secluded table for us to enjoy; so thoughtful and special!
We left full and satisfied (Kevin had the Kobe steak, I had the French Baked Salmon), then meandered back to our hotel room for the serious business of cake eating.
We weren't sure how a frozen cake topper would taste one year later, but it did not disappoint.
Amazing!

| My little cake toppers are now out of the freezer and enjoying the much warmer weather! |

| A horrible picture, but it sure beats the others he took. There's something a bit grotesque about watching a 40 week pregnant lady eat cake...in a robe |
