Our Anniversary

July 11 marked our one year wedding anniversary. I can't believe a year has gone by since our wedding day. In some ways it seems like it's flown by, and in other ways, it feels like we've been married for much longer than a year (in a good way!)

Our anniversary fell on a Sunday, and Brett had to be up super early for football Monday morning, so we decided to celebrate on Saturday night instead. We started out at home by opening a bottle of champagne that we had saved from our wedding night, and drank from the toasting flutes that we used for the wedding. We sat out on our balcony and enjoyed the champagne and some appetizers before we hit the town!

We had dinner at The Majestic, which is a downtown spot we had been wanting to try for quite sometime. We sat downstairs in the Jazz club, where they had a 3-piece band playing. The food was good and the music was great... we really enjoyed the experience.

After dinner we decided to walk to The Hilton President, where we had our wedding reception, to have a few drinks in the Drum Room. Just being there brought back so many wonderful memories of our perfect wedding weekend.






We had saved the top layer of our wedding cake, and it had been waiting patiently in our freezer for the past year. I have to say, the cake was what I was most excited about for our anniversary. I was absolutely obsessed with our wedding cake and couldn't wait to taste it again. It did not disappoint! It was definitely not as pretty as it was a year ago, but man, did it taste amazing!


Sunday we had a really lazy day. We ordered pizza, ate more cake, and watched our wedding DVD. All in all, it was a perfect anniversary!

I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man... and can't wait to see what's up next for us on this amazing journey we're on together! Happy First Anniversary Brett, I love you!
