Happy Anniversary (kind of)

OK, so this post is one of those teeny snipits that really is just me rambling and has nothing to do with cooking. Today is a year ago since Richard proposed, I said "Yes!" and we were engaged.

I can't believe that it has already been a year, the engagement party, wedding planning, showers and parties, the wedding & honeymoon and the reception have all come and gone. I also can't believe that we weren't able to sell his house and are thus stuck in a house too small for us and our menagerie of animals, but I digress. I should state that I am VERY thankful that we are in a house that we can easily afford in the these uncertain economic times and most of all that I'm with the man of my dreams each and every day...

Here we are at The Grape, celebrating our engagement, just a couple of hours after the popping of the question. It is where we had our first date, and we are both so sad that it closed in January. :-(

From the Grape we went to meet my friends Asheley and Tonya and surprise them with the news. Funny thing is, I got an email from Asheley earlier today, asking if I wanted to meet her there tonight! We have "anniversary" reservations at Standard Bistro though, YUMM!!!

Wow how time flies!!! Thanks for sticking with me for a couple of minutes while I take a walk down memory lane. I should be posting this weekend. Sunday, I'm planning on making Chinese Chicken and Vegetable Curry (Crockpot, of course). In the meantime, I have celebrating to do!
