Last Saturday, the 16th, was Russell's birthday! He wasn't expecting anything and we couldn't really afford to do anything or buy anything as a gift which was harder on me than on him. Growing up in my house birthdays were kind of a big deal. We got to choose what we wanted for breakfast and dinner, had to pick someone to say the prayer at every prayer that was said as a family that day, my mom always made our favorite dessert and we got to go out with our dad for lunch whenever we wanted.
Anyhow, I was disappointed that I couldn't do anything spectacular...at first, but the day turned out to be really special. Here's some pics to kind of walk you through the day. :)
Now, yesterday was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! I know that, in the grand scheme of things, one year is like well nothing but it's still an accomplishment I suppose. For us, celebrating one year was more about looking back at the past year and seeing where we were when we got married to where we are now. We've grown so much, spiritually, together and individually.
We've learned to trust each other and rely on one another and when we don't know what else to do just give it to the Lord. It was a very very very interesting year, a very hard year but a very wonderful and beautiful year. I'm so happy that I get to spend an eternity with HIM!
My best friend! How blessed I am to know that we will be together for eternity because of the beautiful plan of happiness Heavenly Father has set before us. So very very blessed! :)
Here's something odd that happened yesterday, though. We got home last night after our very full day of activities and remembered that we were supposed to eat a piece of our wedding cake...ya know, the top tier? Apparently it's tradition, you save the top tier of your wedding cake and eat it on your one year anniversary. Well...............it was awful. I would advise anyone who plans to do the same thing to seal their wedding cake....not just leave it in The Cake Factory's box that it came in!
Yeah, that was definitely dumb on our part, why we didn't think that it would taste like a freezer I have no idea! :/ But we ate the cake on the inside which wasn't bad...it was just the icing that was terrible. So after the cake we just made popcorn, watched a movie and snuggled. I think it was a very successful anniversary if I do say so myself. :) Here's some pics from the day! :)
