Hike + Picnic + Cake + Drive-In = Perfect Day!

Yesterday was an awesome day. We slept in a bit and then ate a late breakfast. The weather was gorgeous out so we played outside a bit with the cat and then got ready for our hike. Hike was nice - a good work out, time with DH, and just nice and quiet hiking up through the trees.

After the hike, we went to one of the picnic areas - yum! We made sandwiches, had the yummy spicy pasta salad I made the night before and some fruit. And, for dessert, I surprised him with some cake from our wedding cake top! Since we didn't get to eat any of it on our actually anniversary, I thought this would be a nice surprise. Our cake was delicious and each layer was different. Our topper was chocolate chip pound cake (or maybe it was yellow cake?). It looks like crap here, but go figure - it thawed out well and was as delicious and tasty as on our wedding day!

After that, we went to one of the look out areas and took some pictures and then drove home. Took a nap, played with the cat, gave him all his meds, food, etc... and then got ready for the Drive-in!

We love going to the drive-in. We have about 3 or so within 30 minutes. It's only $7-$8 to go and you get to see two current-run movies. Can't beat that! The drive-in we went to has 2 screens and were showing Mama Mia and The Mummy on one and The Dark Night and Stepbrothers. We chose the Dark Night and Stepbrothers screen. The Dark Night was really good although on the long side. Stepbrothers was good, although by the time The Dark Night was over we were a bit tired. We laughed a lot, but recommend it more as a rental - and with a few drinks while you do to make it even funnier!

Today we're just hanging out. Weather's kinda crappy - period of rain, then sun, then rain, and the hail is coming soon. So it's a good day to just sleep in, hang out, sleep in, read, clean, watch Lifetime movies, etc... Good times!

Flowers and Pictures

When I got home last night after a very long day at work, I found flowers waiting for me on the table with a little note from DH - so pretty! He said he wanted to give them to me on Monday when he got home, but he thought it'd be a bigger surprise to have them on a random Tuesday. So sweet of him! Riley even tried to eat the small pink roses in front - go figure. Of all things he actually wants to eat! haha

Not the best photography in the world, but here are some pics for fun:

How cute is my DH!

Happy Anniversary to Us!

OK - after that last sad, oh woe is me, post, I decided to snap myself out of it (sorry about that!), and write about some good news.

TODAY IS OUR 1ST WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!

Yay! As I mentioned below, DH is out of town, but we've already gotten calls from my sister in Australia and from DH's sister - yay! And tonight my BF and I are going to go out to dinner and some ice ream. Can't wait!

And then when DH gets back this weekend we'll figure out what we do for anniversary part 2 where we actually get to go away and spent some time together. I love this man so much and I cannot wait to spend many, many more years with his - he's my best friend and the love of my life. I love you T, and can't wait for you to get home!
