Anniversary Weekend Wrap-Up

I had the best weekend, and let me tell you I did not want to come back to reality.  I am far from a morning person.  Philip has gotten bitten by waking me up to early.  But I woke him up at 6 AM because I was so excited to open our gifts.  Since the first anniversary is the "paper" anniversary he bought me some scrapbook paper and made me a coupon book which I can use to redeem things like breakfast in bed, snuggling, or shoe shopping.  He also got me a Sleeping Beauty barbie.  When we were on our honeymoon we bought a Prince Phillip doll...we thought it was funny because his name is Philip and he is my prince?  In Phil's words, "I know what it's like to have my princess by my side and I didn't want to deny Phillip of that any longer."  I gave him a nice leather "man-wallet."  He was embarassed using his old one because it velcros.  Plus, he's had it since like 8th grade.  I put a picture of us in there and wrote him a note telling him that I wanted to get him a man wallet because I had seen him grow so much in authentic manhood the past year.  After opening gifts we got ready and headed out on a little getaway to Spokane (our go-to spot for fun things to do).  We bought day passes for Riverfront Park which means we got to see an Imax (nerd alert!), play mini golf, and scream at the top of our lungs on some kiddie rides.  Philip made surprise reservations at Clinkerdaggers aka one of the nicest restaurants in the area.  The food was delish!  I had chicken tortellini and Philip had red meat of course.  The waiter was hilarious even though he was convinced we had fake IDs.  He still let us have adult beverages, he just said we were the ones who would get in trouble if we got caught so he didn't mind.  I'm almost 23 people!  We scored free dessert because it was our anniversary.  Have you ever had creme brulee?  Life=changed.  Then we stayed at the Davenport--the fancy pants hotel where we spent the first night of our marriage.  It was heaven.  At home we ate the top layer of our wedding cake which my mom had whisked away and frozen for us.  I thought it was such a weird tradition and I was sure it was going to be freezer burnt.  It wasn't.  I'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.

What and how are you celebrating lately?
