This past Sunday was our one year wedding anniversary. One year! I can’t believe it. This has definitely been our best year yet. We decided to have a weekend long celebration starting Friday night. We walked to Oba in the Pearl District to try out their happy hour.
^^ Prickly Pear margarita, so so good!
The next morning we were woken up for the third day in a row of Oscar being sick so we decided to take him to the vet. Everything was good, he just ate something that didn’t agree with him. After a strict diet of rice and chicken, he’s good as new!
Afterwards we decided to stop at Blue Star Donuts and Barista for coffee and donuts.
Alex’s favorite is the Maple Bacon which is fantastic, but I LOVE the Dulce de Leche Hazelnut one. A lot of people say Voodoo Donuts is where it is at but I definitely disagree. Voodoo is good, but once I tried Blue Star I could never go back.
That afternoon, we picked up some food from Lucky Lab, and headed to the waterfront. The weather on Saturday was too good to pass up. We also brought our wine from our unity box from the wedding.
On Sunday we grabbed brunch at The Daily Cafe. I got their eggs benny and LOVED it. Their poached eggs are amazing.
When we got home, I moved our cake from the freezer to the refrigerator and a few hours later it was time to cut into it. Honestly, I didn’t expect much from our cake. Everyone had told me it would just taste like a freezer, be stale and not good at all. I really only kept it because everyone tells you its what you do. So, when we moved here we packed it up in a cooler and its been taking up too much space in our freezer ever since. And I’m so glad we did. The cake was amazing! Even better than I remembered it on our wedding day. It was so awesome to have that moment with Alex again, too. Definitely one of the best decisions we made.
^^ It was a bit beat up, but so delicious!
And with that, our anniversary came to a close.
Alex, I love you more today than I did yesterday and I’ll love you more tomorrow than I do today. You breathe light into my life and I can’t imagine a minute without you. I’m so happy to be laughing through life with you. I like you and I love you.
