Cheers to Us!

Today is our 1 year anniversary. Time flies when you're having fun! This year has been full of ups and downs, laughs and tears. It's been quite the learning experience but what else could I have expected. Two people who have lived with their parents all their lives got hitched, got a dog, and started sharing everything from checking accounts to toilet seats. So in summary, a lot of learning has happened over these past 365 days. For those of you who don't know, David and I started dating September 13, 2002. We stuck together all that time and then sealed the deal September 19, 2009. So although today marks our official 1 year anniversary, it's been way longer than that for us. So hear is to many more laughs, tears & good times to come. I love you David! Now onto the traditional mumbo jumbo. The top tier of our wedding cake has been taking up space in my parents freezer for a year now. Well tonight was the night to break it out and take a bite! Let me just say, it was gross!


Ick!! What a lovely face...
David isn't very good at posing for a kiss without looking like he's posing.
It was much better this time last year!

My parents fed us a wonderful dinner of Lobster, Steak, Shrimp & Baked potatos. Yum-O! We had salad too but never opened it because there was too much other good stuff:) Everything was dee-licious! Thanks again M & D!



My Dad also made me this awesome butcher's block cutting board. He made one for my mom a while ago and I've always liked it. I'd been bugging him for a while now about making me one and he did! It's a hefty chunker and I can't wait to use it!
Let's see what else...we had a very low key weekend and juts celebrated by being together. We went to Lowe's Friday, Saturday & Sunday, it's becoming my new favorite store! (Now I know how you feel mom!) David laid the new bark/mulch out front. It looks so good!

I also got this cutie-patootie little moose that was one of the first pieces of Christmas decorations that are on the shelves @ Lowe's. Love it!
Oh and I also got the gourd to match my pumpkin for my fall decor.

And after much deciphering over the perfect color gray, I decided on Martha Stewart's Nimbus Cloud (top swatch) and went and bought 2 gallons of it. I can't wait to get that baby (the guest room) painted!
I got this "&" symbol a while back at Hobby Lobby and it was a weird gold color. So I spray painted it white and I'm loving it on my shelves!
And my sweet Big Momma sent me this really cool pumpkin candle that was broken when I opened the package:( It would have been so cute! I was super disappointed and I know she is too:(

I also had fun taking some pictures of Remi. He is such a trooper since I always have a camera in his face. This is at my parents house so I took a few shots of their pond out back too.
