Happy Anniversary

Well this past weekend we celebrated our 1 Year Anniversary! Some of our friends from church had won a one nights stay at the Marriott in downtown Kansas City and were't going to be able to use it so they gave it to us! We had such a great time. We spread out our celebrations throughout the weekend since we had some other commitments at church and this is how it all panned out...

On Friday night we went to Jack Stack Barbeque and had the most delicious dinner (thanks Gary and Dianna!) We had chicken covered with barbeque meat, their famous barbeque beans and cheesy corn bake. Chris even ordered some bread pudding for dessert! Then we went down to Crown Center to check out all their holiday decor. It was really pretty ...but REALLY Cold!!

On Saturday I went to church for choir rehearsal in the morning and then met Christopher at the movies! We saw the Bee Movie...pretty cute. Then we came home and packed up and headed to the Marriott! Oh yes, I forgot to mention that the Lord's anniversary present to us on Saturday was a fresh blanket of Snow! It snowed big flakes all day and then stopped just in time for us to head to dinner on the Plaza. We ended up eating at the Classic Cup Sidewalk Cafe (thanks Dad and Jenny!). We were going to just stop in and get an appetizer while we waited for our table at another restaurant...but it was so charming and the food was so amazing that we just stayed there! They even gave us a free anniversary dessert!! My pick this time...yummy Chocolate Fudge Cake!

This morning we got up and ate breakfast at the hotel restaurant. The breakfast was part of the free one nights stay. It was so good.

All in all I'd say we had one very memorable, blessed First Anniversary. We weren't really sure how much we would be able to do but the Lord just blessed us and took care of all the details. We are so excited for the many, many more anniversaries to come...

We didn't buy gifts...just cards. I think we should invest in Hallmark. : )
