Our anniversary wasn’t an extravagant celebration by any means, but it was simple & quiet (like us) and it was a wonderful day. The greatest gift is simply being with each other.
We went to one of those fun restaurants for lunch where they play country music overhead and have a bucket of peanuts on your table...and were you throw the peanut shells on the floor, which is the most fun part! :)
At home we cut into our year-old wedding cake, a tradition we thought was pretty cool, especially considering we didn't really get to have any cake at the wedding unless you count feeding each other a bite when we cut it (but my bite was all frosting and I ended up running into the bathroom to spit it out...). Mom had wrapped it up tight and kept it in the deep-freeze all year and it survived surprisingly well. The cake was moist and the raspberry filling was delicious!
And last, but certainly not least, we exchanged our very first anniversary cards. My dear husband always picks out the perfect cards and writes the sweetest things inside...guaranteed to make me cry. :)
It was a perfectly lovely day and a delightful way to spend the day commemorating our first year together. I so look forward to spending many happy years with this dear man that God brought into my life.
How have ya'll celebrated your past anniversaries, or any fun plans for future ones?
