Celebrating One Year

As you read, Mark and I celebrated our 1st year of marriage on October 20th. We made a huge deal out of this anniversary, even though we've only just begun. Hey, we'll look for any reason to PARTY!

Our celebration started with a romantic dinner at home. I cooked chicken parmesan and we had a glass of red wine.

In tradition, we thawed the remaining portion of our wedding cake. Surprisingly, it was still really good. It hadn't dried out much at all. But still, we didn't eat more than a bite. I bought a strawberry shortcake for us to share with champagne instead.
We reminisced about the past year. We agreed that our favorite events this year have been:

1. Our wedding!
2. Our honeymoon trip to Playa del Carmen, and...
3. Buying our first home.

Next on our list, a first year anniversary trip to Chicago. We returned today. I'll be posting pictures and sharing highlights from the trip so keep an eye out.
