367 days and counting

Yesterday marked our first anniversary together (in holy matrimony that is!) To celebrate, Erik took me to Icon Grill downtown then we went home for champagne and a movie. Ok look- we were going to go to the theater but our new tv had come in that morning so we were really itching to rent a blue-ray.

Word to the wise: do NOT rent The Invasion starring Nicole Kidman (Qué horrible!).

It all turned out all right though. We sipped on 24-kt gold-flecked champagne (thank you grandma and grandpa!) ( and no-I'm not kidding) in our Waterford flutes (thank you Chris and Harry!) ((You all really need to stop spoiling us or we're going to get used to this lifestyle way too early!))

Here are some pics we took pre-dinner, post-where do you want to go/i don't care, where do you want to go/ i don't care/ just choose!/ are you ready yet?/ i'm starving/ just hang on- i can't find anything to wear/ have you seen my black shoes?/i look fat/ no you don't/ yes i do- you're just saying i don't because you want to leave!/honey, you don't look fat/ where did i put my purse?/ its 8 o'clock can we just leave all ready?/ its 8?/ yes its 8/ ok let's go/ok/can we take a picture first?

I just realized that titling this post 367 days of marriage "...and counting" might sound a little different than I intended. I mean it, of course, in the most positive way. I hope that one day we'll be celebrating 36,700 days of marriage (Erik says we better start eating our vegetables.) This past year has been more rewarding than I ever realized it could be!

Erik: I love you. You are my greatest friend!
