Since I was such a slacker with blogging last year, I never blogged about my 1st anniversary--and I took pictures and everything so today you get two posts in one. I will tell you about my fist anniversary and my second anniversary.
Our first anniversary was on a Saturday--nice timing! Early in the afternoon I made grilled cheese sandwiches--not very romantic I know, but we both like them. We then ate our wedding cake--it was really good, I was a bit nervous about eating cake that had been frozen for a whole year, but it was still tasty--and we drank some delicious wine in our wedding toasting glasses. We also watched our wedding video. Then it was time to head out of town. I am a big Bryan Adams fan and he was playing at a casino not too far from us. My husband doesn't love Bryan Adams, but he does enjoy going to a casino a couple of times a year so he got me tickets for a present and I agreed to spend some time in the casino. So we drove down, checked into our hotel, and then headed to the casino. We walked around, gambled a little. Then Mike went to play some game while I poked around the shops. We went to a seafood restaurant for dinner and shortly after that it was time to go see Bryan Adams. He put on a great show. I enjoyed it. Even my husband said it was a good show and like I said he's not really a Bryan Adams fan. A little tiny bit of gambling, a snack stop, and then we caught the shuttle back to our hotel. It was a pretty good first anniversary. Below are pics from before we left for the hotel, at the hotel, and at the concert.

Some people just dont' cooperate when you try to take their picture. :-p

Our second anniversary was sadly much more low key because 1. it was on a Monday and 2. it was the day after I got home from Ireland. We went out to dinner to a local fancy restaurant we'd never been to before. Mike offered to make reservations, but I figured it wouldn't be busy on a Monday night so not to bother. Wrong! It was a half hour wait so we just got a drink while we waited. Then we had dinner. It was expensive, but delicious. And then it was time to go home because Mike had to get up early for work the next day. (As it turned out so did I, but I didn't know that at the time, they called me that moring to see if I could come in and fill in for someone.) The pics didn't come out so good. I saw on pinterest a thing where on your first anniversary you take a picture of you and your spouse holding your wedding picture, then on your second anniversary you take a picture of you holding your 1st anniversary picture, etc. We'll see how it turns out, but in theory you can look back on decades of anniversary pics in one picture.
