One year down!

Yesterday Kevin and I celebrated our first anniversary as a married couple! I can't believe how fast the time goes by. I can remember the chaos, nerves, and the RAIN on our wedding day like it was yesterday. This anniversary is a bittersweet one for me. I'm sad because we are no longer officially newlyweds (and it makes me feel old), however everyone says the first year of married life is the hardest to adjust to, and I am more than thrilled to have that behind me!

We celebrated all day! To start things off, Kevin came home and made me breakfast in bed. He also arranged my day to where I wouldn't have to go into work! Here is a picture of the excellent breakfast Kevin brought me!
This was the sweetest thing. I couldn't eat all of it but it was delicious. Kevin made 10 eggs for us, haha!

After breakfast we both got ready for our day and we went over to play with my niece, Olivia, which is one of my favorite things! While we were playing with Olivia we were talking to Amanda and Jeremy and decided to invite them to go out with us. While they got ready to go we went out to lunch to my favorite Mexican restaurant in town, El Charro.

We met back up with Amanda, Jeremy, and Olivia and started to head towards Raleigh. We went shopping for awhile and then made our way over to Kanki. The best Japanese restaurant EVER! We pretty much had the table and grill to ourselves and the food was amazing. Our chef, Nelson, was pretty cool too! I wish I would have gotten a picture of him. Once we were done eating we headed out to do a little more shopping and Kevin bought me a pair of nude pumps that I've been wanting forever. He's the best :)

Olivia and her chef hat!

Eating my favorite soup(even though I'm not in focus)


I've just recently finished The Hunger Games book and so we went to see the movie while Amanda and Jeremy took Olivia to see The Lorax. I'm pretty sure Kevin did not want to see the movie at all, but I think he ended up enjoying it! After our movie we went to get ice cream and I thought our night was done. We traveled home, dropped off Amanda, Jeremy, and Olivia and went to our house.

I came home to this! So sweet, I didn't have a clue Kevin was doing anything else! He can be sneaky sometimes...


Overall all we had a fantastic day and we're looking forward to an eternity of anniversaries together!

2011 Holidays...paraphrased :)

Our first holiday season as a married couple was great! It was super busy, but we wouldn't have it any other way. To start off we went down to Orlando, Florida for Thanksgiving (and my birthday)! We really just spend our time relaxing and being lazy. Our family spends so much time being busy that we didn't feel like going on a vacation with an agenda. It was so nice to not have a schedule to follow! The weather was gorgeous the entire time, and most of our nights were spend eating, shopping, and watching the live entertainment at Downtown Disney. Our days were filled with sleeping in, going to the movie theater, and a little bit of sightseeing.

Downtown Disney...My favorite Disney Princess!    


For my birthday we went to T-Rex Cafe. It's an awesome restaurant in Downtown Disney. As soon as you step foot in the door you are transported back to the prehistoric ages with the dinosaurs. I can't even begin to describe it all. It's pretty awesome!
I know this is a horrible picture, but the lighting is so low its tough to get a good one!




We also went to see ICE! at the Gaylord Palms Resort. It features 4.5 acres of ice sculptures. Over two millions pounds of ice. And they keep it 9 degrees in there! This year ICE! featured Shrek.
Getting ready to go into ICE!







For Thanksgiving day we went down to my brother Brad's house. We spent the day with him, his wife Niki, and their four kids, Owen, Alex, Kate, and Jane. I'm pretty sure we all ate too much food, but it was soo good!

Christmas this year was sooo hectic! Kevin and I had 5 different places to go on Christmas day! We started the day off at 5:30 AM :/ We did our Christmas together at our house and then left to go to Kevin's dads. On the way to his dad's house Kevin tried to blind a state trooper with his high beams so we got pulled over....on Christmas morning....in our pajamas....and to top it all off, Kevin didn't have his ID, haha. At least it was memorable! We spent the rest of the day going to various family member's houses and just enjoying each other's company. It was a great first Christmas!
