Yes, I realize that our first anniversary was on Monday and I�m just now (on Saturday) getting around to putting up a slice about it. I also realize that I�ve been repeatedly promising to do this one so y�all have my sincerest apologies this time around � most of the time I�m just lazy and there�s no real point in apologizing for one�s personality :-P Seriously though, we�ve actually been busy. Monday was the anniversary, Tuesday was coming down from the high OF the anniversary, Wednesday there was dinner at a friend�s house, and Thursday was a night out of pizza and bowling with various music department-related people. And yesterday was spent looking at, printing, and highlighting maps � maps of Minnesota, South Dakota, and North Dakota. Why? I�ll tell you why. Monday night in our hotel room (more about that a little later) my husband decided, out of no where, that he wanted to see things like Mount Rushmore, Jewel Cave, and the Black Hills. He can�t believe that he�s lived in Minnesota for six years and hasn�t yet ventured west enough to see these places � so, we�re going. In fact, we leave tomorrow morning so I imagine it�ll be about a week and a half or so before you hear from me again. The plan is to drive to the area of South Dakota that has these things and spend a few days there at which point we will travel NORTH and head home via North Dakota � one large loop of Dakota-related biz-baz if you were to look at a map. I�d put one up for you but I just realized this slice is pretty long already and I still have to write about the anniversary and upload some photos � I can�t spend all night cheeseing as I still have to pack. Ok, the anniversary� Some time ago we decided to celebrate our anniversary by going back to all the same places we were for our wedding. Monday morning/early afternoon was spent at home doing nothing unusual outside of exchanging anniversary cards. That afternoon I had my regularly scheduled hair appointment so I had the husband drop me and our overnight bag off at the salon around 2:15pm - he returned home to do what ever it is that husband�s do when their wives aren�t around. I had my hair done (got brave and cut off 2 full inches) and then walked over (all this stuff is in the same complex) to the hotel to check us in. I had a few hours to myself in our suite so I was able to get all kinds of girlie things done like leg shaving and eye shadow applying. Promptly at 6:15 my husband arrived at the suite to �pick me up� for our date. We decided to dress up for our anniversary so I put on a little black dress and he wore his new gray suit. After a brief tour of the suite we headed downstairs to the restaurant for a romantic dinner. Dinner was followed by not leaving the suite until the following morning :-) We had a Jacuzzi for two in our room (used it three different times), lots of good romantic conversation, and lots of good other stuff that I won�t describe on cheese as the husband I have strict rules about that � sorry folks :-P All I CAN say is that it started with something like this: All in all our anniversary was complete perfection and I wouldn�t have changed a single moment...happy first anniversary, baby... |
