one year down in a flash...

tony and i celebrated our big one year today!  it's funny how a year ago the weather the week prior to our wedding day was making us pretty nervous. to our luck, the weekend cleared up and we couldn't have asked for better winter weather.  this year was no exception and we enjoyed some great weekend weather to celebrate our first year of marriage.  we cut the top tier of our wedding cake that we had saved on friday with my parents, grandmother, and tony's family at the house. 


lemon, raspberrry, and buttercreme goodness...

tony planned this year's celebration and boy am i one lucky lady.  saturday started with a couple's massage at bodique with some chocolate covered strawberries & champagne waiting in the room.  it was the first time we had been there and the ladies were so nice and did amazing work.  later in the day we packed our bags and went back to the special hotel where myself and my lovely ladies got ready for the big day, the fairmont hotel.  tony surprised me by booking one of the rooms that i absolutely loved but was too small for getting ready in last year, the gold room.  the room is so gorgeous.  in the restroom there's a chandelier on top of the jacuzzi tub, icing!



for dinner, tony and i ate at the chart house located in the tower of the americas.  we had never eaten there before and it was so lovely.  the view definitely couldn't have been beat!  we sat facing the northeast side of town and had quite the time trying to find sweet pea and other nearby landmarks. the food was delicious and the conversation enjoyable and silly as always. the night ended with some latin music at nearby azucar.



sunday morning, we left the beautiful fairmont for some brunch at candlelight coffeehouse where we enjoyed some great food.  i quite enjoyed my plate which was called "green eggs and ham."  then off we went back home to lovely sweet pea and her valiant guardian, the tok. 

tony and i wanted this year's celebration to be extra special.  tony did what he does best and planned one unforgettable night.  i can't believe it's been one year already and we look forward to what the future holds for us.  we know it will be hard, but we know we make one heck of a team.  and for right now, we are enjoying every minute of bliss and learning that comes from sharing your life. 

 


our first snow day with sweet pea...

the timing couldn't have been more perfect for a snow day.  cold man winter picked tony's day off to give myself and my fellow hard working educators and students a well deserved friday off.  it was only an inch of snow, but here in san antonio it was more than enough. we took it and enjoyed every minute.
