365 days

Yesterday was our first anniversary. In some ways (like everything these days) the wedding seems both like forever ago and like last week. We've certainly been through a lot this past year. Moving in together. Taking a few trips. Adopting a dog. Growing a baby. Yeah, good year.


Because I've been traveling like crazy lately, I generally want nothing more than to stay home. But because the first anniversary is a pretty exciting one we decided we should maybe leave the house. We went to dinner at Capital Grille (fancy schmancy) where they were nice enough to cover our table with rose petals and confetti and write us a nice little anniversary note. After our fabulous dinner, they were even more kind enough to give us free creme brulee. Sigh...


Then we checked in at Hotel ZaZa which just happens to be where we spent our wedding night. The folks there were kind enough to upgrade us to a fabulous suite complete with champagne (I had a sip) and chocolate covered strawberries (I had a few).





After a lovely evening and morning of cards and presents (of the paper variety), we headed to breakfast at Empire Cafe. Then off to browse some antique stores and catch a movie. Hubby had an alumni event that we went to before heading home. Home. To cake. I tell ya, that was still some good cake a year later.

Our view (including a shot facing where we got married)...



And the best part of the day...


Here's to many more...

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
