Our One Year Anniversary... Already!

I know!! We can't believe it has been a whole year since our wedding day! Greg took me to the Alderbrook Resort & Spa to celebrate the occasion with a romantic weekend getaway...

We took the Ferry from Settle to Bremerton on what I think was the most beautiful day of the year...

It was my first Seattle Ferry ride, so I snapped a ton of pictures...

We found this great little local Cafe that served a great breakfast (and lunch too)...


We had a blast celebrating out first anniversary...very romantic my husband of one year is! I also have to share another story of how romantic my husband is...

One of my other gifts was given to me before we left for the weekend away. Greg told me to close my eyes as he explained the gift. He started telling me how most couples save, freeze and then eat part of their wedding cake on their first anniversary. In our case, we had cupcakes instead of cake. Well, Greg went on to say that he had a diet friendly version of that tradition for me (for those of you that don't know, I have recently started a new workout and strict diet regimen (thanks X-Gym!) that he has been very supportive of). I held out my hand, and as I opened my eyes I found a darling t-shirt that read: "Kara's Cupcakes, San Francisco, CA". I know, you are thinking that Greg had a t-shirt specially made for me with my name, cupcakes and one of our honeymoon destinations on it. But no, when we left Cancun and wend to San Francisco for the last part of our Honeymoon, we came across a business near Ghirardelli Square called Kara's Cupcakes! Unfortunately they had not yet opened, so we were not able to get one of their tasty cupcakes. So, for my surprise, Greg looked the new business up, and ordered me a t-shirt from them. It was so special to me...I couldn't ask for more! I had to take a picture of it for all to see...

Thanks for the perfect weekend baby...I love you the word after love!

First, I must say, "ahhh, poor Red", eye injuries are so scary, I'm glad he's okay. =( Before seeing the anniversary pictures below Red's, I though "oh no, they had to go to the ER on your anniversary?" But, now I see you still had a great anniversary.

Second, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and thanks for sharing all those amazing pictures of your anniversary weekend. Looks like you had such an amazing time. So romantic, good job Greg. Props to you dude. Although it wouldn't be so romantic without your beautiful bride to join you on the journey, huh. =)

P.S. I like Greg's glasses, are that a new thing for him?

Congratulations, you two! Even though I am late in saying "Happy 1st Anniversary," we actually thought about you guys last weekend and prayed that you were having a great celebration! Thanks for trusting us to capture your special day. :) ~Airika
