Quick Anniversary Recap

Thank you all for the sweet comments and well-wishes.
They are greatly appreciated!

Last year (our 1 year Anniversary) the whole day all I thought about was what I had been doing a year prior (our wedding day). This year I didn't remember all the details and times of the wedding day but was still able to look at pictures and think back about how wonderful our wedding day was! It was the BEST day of my life!

To celebrate we went out to dinner and to a movie. But before the fun could begin we had a meeting with out financial planner. We do this yearly. I won't get into that but I will say that I highly recommend meeting with one. It's great to get a third party opinion about your finances. Each year we set up a "plan" to help us meet our goals.

After all the money, money talk, I wanted to EAT! We went to a really nice Italian restaurant! Thanks to Husband's parents for some extra anniversary cash. I enjoy nice meals more when someone else is footing the bill. My only complaint was the HUGE amount of cheese put on the Caesar salad.

I had Gamberi Parmigana (pasta with shrimp that covered in cheese). It was really good. I focused more on the shrimp than the pasta.

Husband had Gnocchi Sorrento (potato dumplings with pasta sauce). Both meals were really good and we had plenty of left-overs.

At dinner we exchanged cards. Husband is a really sweet note writer so I usually feel the stress to write something really good. I cried a couple happy tears.

We then decided to go see the movie "The Proposal". We had been given free movie tickets for Christmas that we had forgotten about and used them last night. I am amazed at how much movie tickets are. We live in the south (generally lower prices) but still this is not cheap! I love Netflix and will continue to rent movies because it is cheaper.

I thought this was funny! I did enjoy a diet coke. I have decided to take on Jen's (Prior Fat Girl) challenge and not drink anything but water for the rest of the month. It will be a CHALLENGE for me!

The movie was funny! Betty White made it! If you haven't yet seen it, don't go see it. Rent it!

Our wedding flowers were blue hydrangeas. He sweetly got me a vase of beautiful flowers.

Do you see Ella?

It was a great anniversary. We enjoyed our time together.



Note: If you have the impression that we are "cheap" people, let me correct you. We want nice things. But we know that spending money on little things add up. We'd rather save for the big things in life (cars, babies and our FOREVER house)!

Are you a spender or a saver? I was a spender when we first got married. I have since changed into more of a saver. Money is the number one cause of stress is most marriages!
