Happy 1st Anniversary!!!

So, today is our one-year anniversary!  It's super hard to believe we have already been married a year, but I guess the saying is true that time flies when you're having fun :o)

We decided this year to keep things simple and we spent the weekend at home, by ourselves, for the most part.  It was so nice!  I made eggs and bacon and toast for breakfast on Saturday.  I actually haven't cooked much bacon in my lifetime so I was a little nervous, but I decided to try and pan-fry it this time.  It was slightly crispier than either of us totally like, but didn't burn it, so that's good!

We went and saw the new Pirates movie and I actually stayed awake for the entire movie!  That hasn't happened for the last 3-4 movies we have seen in the theater.  (I know, I know, that's horrible!  I have no choice; it's genetic.  Thanks, Mom...  ;o)  This and the first Pirates movie are my favorites, so if you haven't seen the one that just came out, you should!

We (or at least I) had fun reminiscing yesterday and today with Dave about what we would have been doing at that exact moment one year ago.  It was fun to compare details we remembered.  We really should write them down....  We are horrible about that...

After lunch today we dug our frozen top wedding cake tier out of the freezer.  Dave was surprised we still had it.  Of course we still have it!!!  I'm a girl and this is my first (and only wedding) so of course we still have it!!!  I was slightly worried that it would be freezer-burnt, even though I took extra precautions to try and prevent that.  But, I think the saving grace was the fact that I had Tamara make the top tier of our cake out of Twinkies.  Yes, I said Twinkies!

Smart choice!  I will forever recommend that people use Twinkies for their top wedding cake layer.  Twinkies are best anyway when they're frozen and it kept for a year really well.  Even the special marshmallow fondant Tamara made kept very well and still tastes good.  I can't wait to tell Tamara!

I am very grateful to be married to such a wonderful man!  I love him a lot and am enjoying our road to eternity already!  I love him more and more each day, it feels like, which seemed impossible a year ago because I loved him TONS on the day we got married!   Happy Anniversary, my love!
