One Year Anniversary Recap

As many of you know, last Sunday was amazing boyfriend and my one year anniversary.  I was so excited for it because it was a celebration of one full year that we've been together and, well, I just love anniversaries!

The day started off by me getting woken up around 6:30/7am, I think (all I know is that it was too early to think) by amazing boyfriend giving me a kiss goodbye before he headed off to work...for the next 9-10 hours (poor guy gets worked to the bone at his job, but thankfully he got a promotion and transferred, but more on that later).  I got up a bit later to start my normal Sunday routine: church at 9, then spend the rest of the day with the fam.

I headed back home around 5ish to be home by around the same time amazing boyfriend gets home.  When I got there, there was a card and gift card waiting for me on the dining room table.  The card was mushy and sweet as always and the gift card was from Wet Seal (my absolute favorite place to shop) in the amount of...wait for it... $100!!  Can you believe it!?  He is just way too amazing.  However, I was a little upset when I didn't see flowers sitting there also, like every anniversary, but the shopping spree I was about to have made up for it.  (I spent it all two days later, plus a little more...shh!)

I quickly set out his present and waited for him to come home.  When he finally arrived, he opened his present(s) and was totally amazed.  He's been recently trying gain some extra weight (sheesh, men), and has been wanting to buy a scale, so I went to Bed Bath & Beyond, where they were having awesome deals that day, and bought him a really nice, but still cheap, digital scale.  A little weird, I know, for an anniversary gift, but that's just how we are... I mean for Valentines Day he got me a Dyson vacuum, which I've always wanted just because they are awesome!  But anyways, I didn't want to just get him that, so I was looking online for some ideas for a one year anniversary gift, and I came across the yearly gift list (you know, year one: paper, year two: , etc..).  I know this is mostly for marriage anniversaries, but I thought, why not?  So, since year one is paper, and I'm pretty good at drawing, I figured I'd sketch him a picture of him and me and frame it.

It's not the greatest.  I drew it pretty quickly, but he loved it.  And to me, that's all that matters.  After opening presents, we headed out to dinner at The Lazy Dog Cafe.  It's not how it sounds, like a small cafe where poets come every night to play weird music while they read their latest poems, haha.  It's a really nice restaurant with really good food.  And not too expensive either.  We even got an ice cream sundae that was served in a doggy bowl!

Now, I know you've all been wondering, but have probably figured out since I haven't posted anything about it...he didn't pop the question.  I wasn't too bummed, because that probably would've seemed too cliche if he had, being our one year and all.  But I know when the time is right, it will be perfect and I'll probably most likely cry.

All in all, the night was great and we're still very much in love <3
