Our First Anniversary

We spent the weekend in Boone, NC up on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Some friend's parents have a mountain cabin up there and they let us use it for the weekend. It is beautiful and the view is outstanding. We were a couple of weeks ahead of major leaf peeping, but we did manage to spot a few colors here and there. The weather was sunny but cool and fall-like. We picnicked on the Parkway and took a short hike down to the falls there. I thought it was a short hike, husband thought it was longer.:-) We spent Saturday poking around in little shops down in Boone. That was fun. I only bought a few small harder-to-find kitchen tools at Mast General Store. It was actually the first time since our honeymoon to Williamsburg a year ago that we went somewhere by ourselves and not to visit family and friends. The weekend was very relaxing with time to reflect on the past year and go ahead and sign up for another year.:-) Who knows what this year will hold for us?
I was very excited that my husband decided to sing me the original song that he wrote for me and sang to me when he proposed and also at our wedding.To me that is more precious than flowers or an expensive gift. We watched our wedding video again and felt all cozy and sweet. And come to think of it- I just remembered the top of our wedding cake! It is still bundled away in the freezer. Do people really eat them? I wonder if it is still good.:-)

YEP...WE SIGNED UP TOO. WE ENJOYED OUR FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE TOO. OUR THOUGHT WAS THAT IF THE FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE IS THE WORST, THEN WE HAD WEATHERED QUITE A FEW STORMS (LITERALLY) ALREADY, AND THAT IT COULD ONLY GET BETTER!!! AND IT DOES CONTINUE TO GET BETTER AND BETTER...(A CARD WILL BE IN THE MAIL TO YA SHORTLY... lOVE YA'LL...

Is wedding cake edible after all this time?? Well, for us we waited until we had 2 children and we fed the 'whole' family our wedding cake. The only regret is we didn't get pictures of the boys eating it too. :)
