Happy Annivesary!!

Ben and I celebrated our first anniversary on April 4th. I can't believe it's been a year already! It's been a really good year. The weather was actually warm and sunny on our anniversary, which was a nice change from the winter weather we've been having still. We took a drive out to Snoqualmie Falls and were going to go to dinner at the new casino there since I had heard the restaurant was really nice and the food was good. Well, they make you walk all the way through the smoke-filled casino past all the people wasting their money, then when we got to the restaurant it didn't look that nice for what they were charging, plus we were grossed out by all the smoke smell that we decided to leave. We did stop at the Falls to look at it and it was very pretty, though we didn't have our camera with us. We enjoyed the drive to and from the Falls since it was so sunny, so we weren't too upset that we didn't end up having dinner there. We decided to go to a Japanese Steakhouse instead, which was really good and always fun to watch them cook in front of you and do all their tricks. Then we came home and attempted to eat the top tier of our wedding cake that's been in my parent's freezer for a year. It turns out cake doesn't taste good after it's been in the freezer for so long. The frosting was freezer burned and the cake tasted ok, but was very crumbly and the texture was wierd. So, we each took a bite for the camera then threw the rest away. A big waste, but it's all part of the tradition, I guess. :o) Here's some pictures of our cake experience. Don't mind the self shot at the end- those never turn out good at that angle!

It has been a fast year--but Meesh you were prego and I wasn't pregnant yet at her wedding, so in that way it does seem like it has been a year! I had so much fun at your wedding! You guys are the cutest! And Sar you are beautiful! I LOVE LOVE your hair! Have you colored it darker? Love you! Congrats you two love birds! :)

Yay! Congratulations! It has gone by so fast! Can't believe it's already been a year! We didn't like our cake either...actually, I didn't, but I think Tom still ate most of it!!! ;-) He doesn't like to see sugary substances go to waste I guess! I think those pics are so cute! You guys are a great looking couple!!! Oh, and sounds like a smart move going to the Japanese Steakhouse instead! It seems like you can't go wrong at a Jap. Steakhouse!!!

What a cute post! You look so cute!!! Your hair has gotten so long and you totally can't tell you are prego yet! You actually look thinner to me! How did you manage to do that??? I'm a whale!
And the top of our wedding cake tasted so gross too after a year! We took one bite and threw the rest away!
Luv you Sar! I look forward to your next email!
