On June 26, 2011 Ben and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary. Orginally, our big celebration was our trip to England, however, on our wedding anniversary we both decided to get each other something special. The first year of our marriage was a busy year. We purchased our home the day before our wedding. We had a new roof put on the home while we were on our honeymoon, put in new windows and renovated the bathroom. We also worked on the landscaping, planted a garden, and Ben got his riding lawnmower. Ben started a new job and continued to build his photography business and bought a NEW vehicle, which he loves. Both Ben and I lost a grandfather. I did a lot of traveling (D.C., Maryland, St. Louis, and England). Overall it was a busy first year together. We hope life slows down a bit for us, although it is doubtful.
We celebrated our day with lots of relaxation. It is very rare that Ben and I spend the day relaxing rather than doing house work, yard work, visiting family, etc. Because it was raining we enjoyed a day inside relaxing.
Ben gave me two rocking chairs for our patio, I am so excited to get them set up. My gift to Ben was a shade tree (we have no trees on our property). We were going to go pick up and plant the tree on Sunday, but due to the rain we are going to do that this weekend.
We did enjoy our cake, and wine, and champagne. We went to a very nice restaurant called Cameron's American Bistro. Ben had Lamb and I had a Cornish Hen. Both of our meals were outstanding. Then we enjoyed a movie (Bad Teacher). It was a great relaxing day! We both were able to enjoy each others company and reminisce about our wedding day and plan for our future.
