1st Anniversary

Today is our 1st wedding anniversary. I really can't believe a year has passed since that wonderful day. This year has had many ups and downs for me (so many job changes, getting back on stage, gaining back weight, etc.) and Mike has been there to back me up every step of the way. I love you so much honey --- more every day --- and you make every day a gift.

Last night we celebrated Rosh Hashanah with my side of the family, complete with the unveiling of the year-old top tier of our original wedding cake, complimented by a freshly baked replica from the same bakery (just in case the original tasted like crap.) The original was surprisingly good! My parents wrapped it really well and kept it in their basement freezer all year. It was actually pretty moist and almost as good as I remembered it! The fresh one was really good too, but there was something about that year-old cake that brought all the memories flooding back. It was a lovely moment.

Many of you have seen the wedding photos already, but I thought it would be fun to post some photos that you haven't seen already --- some of my favorites that are more "artsy". Our gift to each other is our framed Ketubah (the Jewish "marriage contract".) With the 1st anniversary gift being "paper", we thought that was especially fitting (my parents, however, thought a roll of scratchy Scott toilet paper was more fitting. Har har Mom and Dad }:-) Kudos to our friend Henio who suggested the round frame. I've included some pics below to share the results with you. It really turned out beautifully and hopefully we'll get it hung today. We are out of wall space, so something's going to have to be taken down, or rearranged. We're planning a nice dinner at home tonight, with some quality lounging. Enjoy the pics below...
