In May, for our first anniversary, we started planning a weekend trip to Kansas City - it would have been our FIRST night/weekend alone since our honeymoon. Yes, it wasn't what we had pictured a year ago - but it was something for us. About a week ago Mr. S cancelled it all (we can't afford it, we don't have anyone to watch the kids, etc.). I made a deal that if he could sell our football tickets, then yes, we wouldn't go, but if he didn't, then we'd keep the trip (we did have money - why else would I have busted butt in Wyoming? we did have people to watch the kids - there is know reason we couldn't have gone). Of course the VERY next day he got rid of the tickets :(
So, our first anniversary was spent running to sports for the kids, working (both of us), him mowing the yard, and we got to go to dinner on Sunday evening. Of course, we thought we'd get to come home from that dinner and have some "alone time", but no, his grandparents stuck around to watch the end of Enchanted (really?) and eat wedding cake. I'm totally appreciative that they watched the girls for us, but it was just kind of awkward. Oh well...
Jr.Ms.S started volleyball this year. Saturday was her first game (actually a double-header). She has improved a lot since her frst practice (the last time I was able to attend). I was so proud when a few other parents pointed out how well she was doing too.
Awww....
JrMrS had a football game on Sunday. They had a REALLY long game! They finally won in 2nd overtime.
He's #35 in the middle. So tiny - yet such a little man :)
After the game I pulled out the wedding cake. For our wedding we gave everyone else cupcakes, but had a small topper to cut. I remebered after work Saturday nght that I hadn't pulled it out of the freezer - so we were all hoping it was ready to eat. I've heard so many other people say their cake was gross/uneat-able, but ours was (almost) perfect.
Ugh - I look ugly - just remember - I've been outside sweating for three hours :(
It was SO moist! The frosting was so-so (kind of crystal-ly), but the cake and filling - SO GOOD!
After the cake was cut, we got ready for our anniversary dinner. Mr.S made reservation at Bonefish and also had flowers delivered to the resturant for me me. So pretty!
He of course didn't have them fill out the card, so I made him actually write it when we were sitting there. I'm not going to share it, but he really wrote something heart-felt and special. I'm so lucky.
So, that's our anniversary weekend....hopefully next year we're able to follow through with something really for us.How did you spend your first wedding anniversary?
