All last week, Charley and I had been wracking our brains for a plan for our one year anniversary. We wanted to do something special, and I had been begging all summer for us to take some sort of vacation. Vacation was definitely not in the cards for the time being, because Charley had the trial of his lifetime set to begin on July 20. We couldn't think of anywhere to go after the trial as well, since I would be nearing the 3rd trimester...and tropical vacays don't sound as good when you are large and in charge and can't drink. So it was on the backburner...or so we thought.
The Thursday before our anniversary, I had made reservations at Bottega for us and figured we'd do a nice dinner that Saturday. I was planning on going shopping that afternoon, but knew that Charley had already been to a jewelry store but didn't find anything reasonable, and had no more time to shop with his busy schedule of pretrial depositions. Suddenly I realized I had two missed calls from my hubs and a voicemail. The news on the message made my draw drop!! The trial of the decade had been postponed by the judge till DECEMBER!! We knew immediately what we were going to do. My parents and their best friends had access to a condo in Keystone, Colorado that next week and had invited us a long time ago to join them, but with the trial we figured it couldn't happen. My dad and I immediately got on every airfare website we could find. What a perfect 1st anniversary "paper" gift....plane tickets!
The Saturday before we flew out we had a nice Italian dinner at home and pulled out the top tier of our wedding cake. It fared pretty well and tasted not too bad. We toasted with our silver champagne flutes, used our monogrammed cake cutters; I wore my tiara and Charley wore a green shirt to represent one of our wedding colors. It was a nice ritual and good distraction from Lola not being there with us (I had to drop her off at the boarders a day early and was a bit teary about it haha). On our actual anniversary we flew out to Colorado! So thankful for the way things just tend to work out. :)
I'll post more about the trip later, since this post is already long. To end things, I just want to get a bit sappy for a moment. Our wedding day was truly the best fairy tale day! I love my husband more everyday, and we feel so blessed to have found each other. Especially now that our family is growing. I spent the last couple of weeks finalizing our wedding photo orders (nothing inspires me like a deadline) :) and its been so nice to look back at that magical day. Here are some of my favorite shots:
