Somewhere between lots of concerts and lazy Friday mornings, an entire year went by. Instead of anniversary day, we had a weekend of fun evenings recreating special memories of our early married life.
We spent our first week of married life in North Carolina at a cozy little cabin, tucked away from the world. In the mornings, we would sit on the spacious porch while drinking our coffee, and simply stare out at the stunning fall colors. When the backdrop is that beautiful, you can never quite soak it all in.
The evening we arrived, it was dark as we pulled up the long gravel drive to our cabin. Although we were both hungry for dinner, I was unwilling to drive back down that scary driveway on a pitch black night in search of food. Luckily, we had Trader Joe's trail mix leftover from our trip. Once we got settled into our cabin, we discovered that the vacationers before us left pistachio ice cream and fiber cereal. Just a few minutes, and voila! I cooked my new husband our first dinner: pistachio ice cream topped with trail mix and fiber cereal.
On our first anniversary, we established a tradition of recreating that very special dinner. It tasted a little better this time.
Throughout the weekend, we talked about what we've learned, how we've changed, and what we're thankful for. It has been a splendid year, and I imagine it will just get better.
