The First Anniversary

by JM

I couldn’t have asked for a better anniversary. I truly couldn’t. The entire day was absolutely wonderful and full of wonderful surprises.

We began the day by exchanging gifts before we got out of bed. Funnily enough, we both had each others presents tucked away in our bedside dressers. We then got out of bed and ready to go because we had a reservation…

I had no idea where we were going and my husband had a lot of fun taking me through the heart of Melbourne so I wouldn’t know where we were going.

We were going to go for a walk in the park, but the weather didn’t cooperate so we went home and relaxed for a while. After that it was off to the movies to see The Bucket List (which is good, by the way). After that, we went over to the pub to spend some time with friends and have a celebratory drink.

We topped the night off by going home, getting in our comfortable pajamas, and relaxing the rest of the night away.

I am definitely a happy, content wife.
