So July 19th 2018 Anthony and I celebrated our
one year wedding anniversary and I have a lot to catch yall up on. I am sorry I
haven’t been on here in a year, but it’s been a busy world wind year! So
besides working a lot and doing every day chores and having a blast being
married to my best friend we were also planning our first vacation together
which we took in May of this year to Chattanooga Tennessee and I have to say it
was wonderful vacation / official honeymoon! I’ve been to Chattanooga before
but Anthony hadn’t and he loved it. We did all the familiar sights such as Ruby
Falls, Incline Railway, Rock City, Tennessee Aquarium and some others such as
the zoo and then we drove to Atlanta Georgia one day and went through the Coca-Cola
museum which was fun but the traffic stressed poor Anthony out.
So after the vacation was over we had the task of planning a
one year wedding anniversary party because there were a lot who hadn’t been
there for the wedding and we never had an official reception except 3 months
into marriage we had a reception with just Anthony and I and he made a replica
cake of our wedding cake, lol! So we planned or stressed over the anniversary
party and changed the theme like 4 times before settling on a Japanese koi pond
theme and it was beautifully executed! Ill put a few pics below! I made the half
naked cake but I’m not sure it turned out so well but everything else was good!
Besides planning the anniversary party it was deciding what
to make or get each other and so we decided on making gifts for each other.
Anthony made me a stuffed toy as he knows I keep stuff toys since I was a kid
because they all have memories and I can tell you when where and who gave it to
me, lol, crazy but true. The stuffed toy was not just any stuffed toy but my
favorite animal a sloth toy!!! We named the sloth Einstein but Stein for short,
lol! Anthony sewed it all by hand and spent weeks making it! Besides that the
week after our party he took me to a local zoo that has animal encounters and I
got about a 30 minute encounter with 3 sloths which was incredible and such a
sweet thing for Anthony to do for me!!! Also he made me a handmade card! Gushing!
So that left me with what to do. So we had just watched the
movie UP and I got the idea about that Our Adventure photo album that Ellie had.
So I looked it up and actually found replica ones online that look just like it
so I bought the one from Amazon that has the book plus scissors, gel pens and
photo corners in it and spent a month putting pictures in it and writing little
things along the way and decorating with stickers etc. it was insane but I got
it done and actually it said it would hold around 160 pictures I managed to get
about 260 or so because I found a way to expand it, I bought brown card stock
that was almost identical to the card stock in the book and cut and hole
punched it to match and so I got to add additional pages! So the book showed
from friendship all the way to the present! I even showed all the flowers Anthony
gives me, one bouquet a month for 19 months now!
Also I bought Anthony his favorite anime movie music album
from the movie “Your Name”! We also exchanged love coupons we made for each
other!
I’m worn out just typing all that ha-ha!! It was so time
consuming but way fun and worth it but next year its gonna be a simple me and
him maybe one gift to each other anniversary, lol! So now after one year we are
looking to be determining where to live now and if babies are gonna be soon or
not so a lot of the unknown but it has been one heck of a year!
