Happy Anniversary...

We celebrated our First Wedding Anniversary in May! For fun here are a couple of wedding pictures.



To celebrate our anniversary we decided to cancel all of our other normal commitments and spend the entire weekend just the two of us.

I found this on the table when I got home from work on Friday.

We made BBQ chicken pizza for lunch on Saturday after we exercised.

For dinner we went to the Polish Village Cafe in Hamtramck. We've been there a few times before. We went there when we were first dating and it was one of my favorite dates. That night we stayed out so late that my dad called Patrick's phone asking where I was. The food was still great and this time we did not have to worry about my dad calling.

Patrick made me breakfast on Sunday morning! He made me a heart pancake just like he did each morning while we were on our honeymoon.

We planned on going to one of our favorite places, Cranbrook, to have a picnic lunch and walk around. But it rained all day. So instead we had our picnic inside and watched a movie with our lunch.
We did get adventurous and decided to brave the rain as we went to a park down the road later in the afternoon.

For dinner we had Cornish game hens, mashed potatoes, and green beans.

We also ate the top of our wedding cake. Danielle and Chad warned us that their cake tasted bad and so we were prepared to eat a tiny bite. To our surprise it tasted like it was just made. No freezer burn here!

We wanted to start the tradition of eating fondue for every anniversary since that is what we ate on the day Patrick proposed to me. So we ate the cake and fondue in bed!


It was such a great first anniversary. I can't believe that we have already been married for a year and I am looking forward to all of years to come. I am so lucky to be married to Patrick!

Stephanie and Scott's Wedding...

In March we flew out to California for Stephanie and Scott's Wedding. We were so excited for them and excited to meet Scott. It was a quick weekend trip and we loved every minute of it. We kept busy running wedding errands, helping set up the open house, eating tasty food, and spending time together with family.

Patrick and I posing outside the temple. It sure made the Detroit temple look tiny.

The siblings all together!

Sorry Scott I think this picture is funny. Stephanie danced with Devin and Patrick and here it looks like Scott just can't take being away from Stephanie.

The beautiful open house in Grand Terrace.

Patrick and I forgot to sign in.

Spencer threw a grape at Patrick while he was sleeping and it started a grape throwing frenzy. Raquel loved it.

The couple opened cards and presents after the open house. Raquel decided to help keep track of who gave which presents.

We had so much fun and can't wait to go back next month!
