Anniversary, Part 1

Our one-year anniversary isn't until the 19th (seriously, how quickly has this year gone by?!) but we are leaving Thursday (which is also Darren's birthday) for California and wanted to do our gift to eachother, a little dinner and dig into the top tier of our wedding cake instead of trying to take everything with us and do it at Darren's parents' house.

When we got up yesterday morning Darren couldn't wait to open our present (since our anniversary and Christmas are so close we just got one big gift to cover both occasions). We actually bought it about 6 weeks ago (before Darren's Walmart discount card was deactivated), wrapped it, and kept it in the hall closet until last night.

Darren and our new television

He quickly set it up and looked like a kid on Christmas morning with his new toy.

For dinner we made little pigs 'n blankets, which may sound weird, but we had them at our reception and didn't get to have any since we were busy greeting everyone. They were so good! We definitely "pigged" out.

After watching some football (Darren was in heaven. He could actually see the score at the top of the screen) we cut into our cake and were pleasantly surprised! It was really good! The frosting peeled off pretty easily, but the marble cake and raspberry filling was quite delish. Quite amazing how freezing something for a year won't destroy it!

We finished off our evening by watching Eclipse. We got it from Redbox Saturday night and waited to watch it on the big tv. It was a fun night together, and I'm excited to celebrate our actual anniversary on Sunday!
