Our 1 Year Anniversary

We celebrated 1 year of wedded bliss last Sunday, July 26. (hooray!) We left Nate for the first time with Brian's parents - I always told myself I was never going to be one of "those" parents who gets all emotional leaving my children for an hour or two. I was wrong. It was a little difficult. He was great, though (or so they say!). We went to The Chaz Restaurant on the Plaza, with a gift certificate Nicole had given us for Christmas and we never got around to using before Nate was born. The food was excellent, and we were the only people in the restaurant for most of the meal.

We didn't get each other anything, not even cards (that was not intentional... I really meant to get/make one!) and although we got the top layer of our wedding cake from the Dunn's freezer, we forgot to eat it... oops. It's still sitting in our fridge. We're going to have it tomorrow. Brian did give me flowers a week before our anniversary, though.

And that is just so typical "us"! Can't really describe it - "laid back" might be one phrase used when people refer to us. Both of us can really go out of our way to "wow" the other one, do something really special - but it's usually completely spur-of-the-moment. But on our anniversary? No gifts, no cake - we took a nap that afternoon, too. But we're so okay with that.

Nate is getting so big! He was almost 14 pounds at his doctor's appointment the other day, and has moved into a lot of size 6 month clothing. *tear* Nate has had the chicken pox for the last 2 weeks, along with all 8 aunties & uncles who got it - but he's finally over it. He had a very, very mild case, maybe 15-20 spots, unlike my brothers and sisters, who were covered from head to toe. The older 3 are proof that the chicken pox vaccine isn't really effective...

And I love this picture.

  1. Wow!! Glad he did OK with the Chicken Pox. I hear when they get them that young they do not build immunity and will likely get them again. Unless you get the vaccine. We're not a huge fan of the vaccine and have with-held it from Gemma for the time being. We'll see what happens, We'd really rather her just have Chicken Pox, but if she hasn't once Kdg comes I guess we have to get the shot. Boo.

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! We're pretty laid-back to when it comes to presents and cards, etc., so I hear ya. Ours was 7/21 and we still haven't made it on our yearly "date"!!

  3. Thanks for the comment! No, we hired the tile done. We figured if we did it ourselves it may look like we did it ourselves. Some things are just better to have other people do :)
