1 Year Anniversary!

Shane and I celebrated our one year anniversary on Saturday May 1st! It was a blast! Since we are trying to save as much money as possible right now, we decided we weren't really going to get anything for each other. Shane lied. It was actually about a week before our anniversary, and my parents were planning to come into town. I was at work the day they arrived and Shane stayed home busy cleaning the apartment for when my parents came over. I came home to an amazingly clean apartment and this hung on our wall:

I was always telling Shane that our apartment needed some decoration or something and I had been wanting to hang some of our wedding pictures for awhile. I just had never gotten around to it because our walls are cinderblock so I wasn't sure how to go about doing it. He went and bought three beautiful frames and hung some of our pictures above the couch. The best part was that he did it so that my parents could see them. He is so sweet! He also hung my mirror with a sticky note on it:

When our actually anniversary rolled around, Shane surprised me with tickets to a movie I had been wanting to see. It was even a chick flick! First I made Shane breakfast. We had bacon and eggs, and blueberry muffins! Then we went to the matinee showing and then came home and had a Smallville marathon, a show we both enjoy and found for 10$ a season. Then we went to dinner at Outback Steakhouse. It was delicious! We came back and decided that we should bust out the top of our cake. We had always heard about how gross the cakes are a year later after being in the freezer but we were pleasantly surprise! It was actually REALLY good! We were both too full to eat a lot of it but we still have it in our kitchen.
This is how Shane feels about our marriage!I felt kind of bad because I didn't really get him anything at all. But I still have something up my sleeve. A late gift. But it's a surprise so shhhh! You will hear about that in a future post I'm sure. Anyway, It was a great first anniversary! It was fun to talk about what we were doing one year ago on that day! I am so glad that I met Shane. He is the best and I love him!
