HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!

I can not believe it! Jon and I have been married for one whole year! Yesterday was our anniversary!! With everything going on the last month it was a little hard to plan ahead, but Saturday, after Stephen and Matt left, Jon booked a hotel in Philly - right by where we got engaged - and we packed our bags and took off! Saturday night we walked around South Street, ate some yummy pizza for dinner and went down to the water front - where we got engaged - to look back and reminisce the last year and a half. So much has happened but yet it seems like it was just yesterday. Random times throughout Saturday and yesterday we would stop and think about what we would have been doing at that time one year ago. It was really fun.

This is where we got engaged:

Sunday we didn't have to be out of the hotel till 12 noon so we slept in and had a continental breakfast. Then we headed home, planning to eat lunch at the Olive Garden in Montgomeryville. As we started driving though, traffic was looking pretty bad and we were both getting hungry. Just in time, Jon looked up the closest Olive Garden with the GPS and it told us to get off at the next exit (less than a 1/2 mile from where we were). It led us to an Olive Garden right in the middle of Philly. That was fun!

When we got home I was really tired for some reason so I laid down and took a quick nap. I woke up to the sound of Jon laying a bouquet of flowers on the bed next to my head! :) He's so cute! He ran out of the house as soon as I had fallen asleep and got them for me. We then went for a walk around the yard - since it was such a nice day out. Last night Jon made steaks on the grill and we had a delicious dinner at home. We pulled out our toasting glasses from the wedding and had the same kind of sparkling wine as we did for our wedding.

After dinner we just felt like watching a movie together so we ran to blockbuster and rented the second Pirates of the Caribbean movie and watched it. I know, that's not a very romantic movie, but we've never seen it and we want to go see the third one in theaters before it ends so that's what we wanted to watch :).

And that was the end of our One year anniversary! We both really enjoyed our quick get-away and a leisurely day together. Now we're full speed ahead into our second year of married life. Ha! I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us! These are the flowers Jon got me:
