Drumroll please!

So we cut into our 1st yr. anniversary cake yesterday, and it tasted.......
drumroll please..............

actually REALLY DELICIOUS!

ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND! (yes, WEEKEND! haha)

Steak, Flaming Cheese, Cake, No Working and Love....

I'm taking a break from work this weekend
(3 portrait shoots & a wedding)
and I am going to enjoy this whole weekend....
whether I am doing stuff with my husband or just running errands or maybe even crawling up with a good book...... I really wanted to make this weekend, just Matt and I, all day every day, but that's just not reality.

We have started to thaw out the top layer of THIS..... which Matt is super excited about...
and when I say super excited...
i mean SUPER EXCITED!
(I hope to take some photos of him devouring it! =) Haha....)

We are going out for dinner tonight at THE PRINCESS CAFE with a gift certificate that Matt got as a thank you and then maybe we will hit up a movie or something. Who knows! Saturday we have a friend's party to go to and then SUNDAY is our ACTUAL
1 YEAR anniversary!
I will be making lunch for us.... which will be made up of roast, mashed and sweet potatoes, corn casserole and some wedding cake for dessert!!! (too bad the mood won't be very romantic on our card table and all my candles and table clothes/decorations all packed away (but like matt could really care less about that! haha!)

Can't wait for the weekend to start!
I LOVE YOU BABY!

Matt's Design work

What a GOOD WEEKEND! Well, aside from that fact that Matt had to work a quite a bit... but that's ok, we still saw each other when we could! =)

Let me just say that I have the greatest friends! Friday night it was planned that I was going to go to Ashley's for a dinner date with her. Eat some of her good cooking, catch up on each other lives, etc.... but to my SURPRISE..... Becca, Sara, and Amanda were there toooooooo!!!! They surprised me with a nice meal and a night JUST FOR ME.... it was wonderful! So, THANK YOU GIRLS, you all mean so much to me! =)

A little update on wedding stuff... today our cake lady came over to bring us samples and take about design ideas and such... and i just thought that i should share this precious picture with you. Matt was such a good sport about being there that he even drew a cake of what he wanted (well, 4 of the layers are what we talked about doing..... but the 5th ones was his own idea/creation)... he got such a good kick out of it... adding a smiley face and/or Cubs "C" as our top layer! Haha.... well, we kinda nix-ed that idea... but his effort was very much appreciated! =) Aside from the design, I am super excited that we are going to have one layer of red velvet cake..... =) it is so good! =) I can't wait..... MMMMmmmmm... CAKE!!!!


Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.....
