So, again, a little late, but better late than never, they say.
Our anniversary was on December 30th. It was a good day and the weather was pretty warm, but not very pretty. This made me happy that on our wedding day we got a good blanket of snow...I would have been disappointed if we had ugly mud in all our pictures!
We ended up getting each other a few gifts.
Kyle did the manly thing and got me jewelry! He also got me a movie that I can use in the classroom. I did the right thing, too and got him a tie rack (meaning I listened to him because that's all he's been talking about needing over the past month and a half) and also a very nice commuter mug that you can heat in your car. He talked about wanting the mug, too, and then promptly forgot about it so when he opened it he had a clueless look on his face and I had to remind him of the conversation--lame!
We went out to Johnny Carino's afterward and dinner was DELICIOUS. We got one of the family platters so we had to share...kind of like on Lady and the Tramp...except we definitely had separated our piles of spaghetti. We're pretty territorial about our food, so that's okay! Best part? Dinner was mostly FREE thanks to some friends of ours who got us a gift card to Carino's for my bridal shower in November 2009! Yeah...we're capable of saving gift cards for that long (although it was super hard).
We went shopping afterward, which is something we really enjoy doing together after we've eaten. We spent a gift card at Target and Kohls and then went to the mall. We weren't out for very late, but it was long enough. Being married for a year makes you super old and you get tired super fast. So we came back at about 8:30.
Then the fun part....CAKE!
It doesn't quite look like year-old cake, does it?! Still, Kyle couldn't handle the idea that it was a year old, so he could hardly eat any of it. He had a nibble of icing, but that was it. Then we had a discussion about what to do with the rest. He wanted to toss it (the whole year-old thing, remember?) but it tasted even BETTER than I remembered it, plus that cake cost us $500, PLUS how rude to want to throw away a cake celebrating our union! So I hunkered down and just ate the rest over the next day and a half. And let me tell you what, it was worth it!
One other little happening on our anniversary...while we were out at Target, we spotted this "pet jacket" on sale for like 66 cents. So we snagged it, knowing Tiger would hate us. Here he is being a good little boy eating his treats (we had to bribe him to get it on):
And afterward rolling around in attempts to get it off of him. Poor thing doesn't understand velcro! I could have laughed all night, but I'd just had half of the cake, so we put him out of his misery and put the pet jacket away in the attic. Don't worry, we'll get it out again when he gets nippy and needs a piece of humble pie!
All in all, can't wait to see what next year brings us!
