I can’t believe it’s been a year. Yesterday I was remembering the whole day and re-playing it in my head.

Two days ago when I got home I knew Tyler was up to something. I asked him if he did something for our anniversary because we both decided to save money for the Holidays especially right now with the court situation. He smilingly ignored me. I can’t stand the suspense so I quickly ran to his computer to see what he was up to. Tyler’s smart & beat me to the mouse and went to FireFox > Options > History > DELETE!!!

Yesterday at work the receptionist came by my desk with red roses that Tyler sent me! It was perfect and smelled good. Getting the roses in a beautiful vase & our anniversary cake home in one piece was hard work though. Good thing there were not a lot of turning on the way home.

We went to PF Chang’s for dinner and it was probably the first time we’ve really gone out on a date in a while just by ourselves. After getting home we got our anniversary cake out and it was delicious! 

We just love the video Jason, our good friend & awesome photographer, created for us at our wedding with a message from all of our friends in American Sign Language and I’m sorry there are no subtitles. If you fast forward to the end you’ll see everyone saying “I love you”. This is a video we must watch every year on our anniversary!

Exactly a year ago it was the beginning of our wedding week. We were anxiously excited and our apartment was full of friends even that some had to leave their suitcases out on the patio. Thank god for Arizona’s warm weather!

The girls, my mom & aunt threw me an awesome Bachelorette party! After seeing my mom disappear at times to giggle and get overly excited on the phone, I knew she was up to something….

a fireman stripper!!
(there’s more naughty pictures but obviously not safe for this post!)

Both of my grandmas were there! One was gasping on the couch & the other was trying to keep the stripper away from her with her cane. It was so much fun but not too much when the stripper slathered his sweat all over me. It was indeed a great night even after waking up to an extremely messy apartment & getting it spanking clean within minutes with 10+ friends’ help before family relatives were coming over.

I even left my wedding dress in the trunk for months after the wedding. I don’t see the point of keeping it when I’m never going to wear it again. I wish we had a “Trash the Dress” session. I guess it’s still not too late to do that…

I recently ordered our anniversary cake. It was part of our wedding package that the bakery would re-create our wedding cake for free! With so much happening this month, we’ll just go out for dinner and hope that J & H won’t show up & crash the night. ;) Long story but we were interrupted on our wedding night with the hotel letting us know that J & H were downstairs and wanted to come up to our room. Apparently they had a little bit too much to drink. So now they should feel special that we’ll always think of them every year!

I’d do the whole 2-week vacation again in a heartbeat if we could just so we could have time with our family relatives & friends that live all over the country. Someone get married already so we can have another reunion!

I got an iPhone before the accident and I’m in love with it. Now I’m not sure if I should keep it or not. Every day when I go to work, I leave it at home so I don’t get addicted to it and while at work I keep telling myself to return it. But once I get home the iPhone’s in my hand and I can’t let go of it. It sucks… I can’t decide and Tyler’s not helping since he wants me to keep it so he can play with it.

Zella, my car, is ready to be picked up today after work. I’m going to miss my rental (Kia Sportage 2008). I’m nervous that the memories are going to come back once I see Zella and all the mess inside from the impact. I’m glad I took my wedding dress out of my trunk a while ago.

This weekend we need to spring clean and convert Tyler’s man cave room into Amy’s room since she arrives next week to stay for the Summer. What are you doing this weekend?
