So Rick and I have now been married for one year! The year has flown by and been filled with so many changes - from moving to getting ready for our little lady to arrive. I didn't get a chance to write a blog the day of our anniversary, so I'm going back to write about it now. The week before our anniversary I was in Arizona visiting my family, but I wanted to make sure that I was back home with Rick by March 29th (our anniversary). I arrived back home the night before. Rick's son, Ricky Jr., also flew in that night from Florida. He stayed with us for a week during his Spring Vacation. The next day Rick gave me his anniversary present and card. He wanted to make sure that he followed the "rules" for anniversary gifts. A first year anniversary gift is supposed to be paper. So, he was very thoughtful in giving me address labels with our names on it. He also gave me a glass bell with the words "1st Anniversary" written on it and another figurine that had an anniversary poem on it. I ordered my gift from the Internet, but it didn't arrive until the next day. Rick loves the game Monopoly, so I decided to get him Lovopoly. Lovopoly is the game of Monopoly, but it is personalized. I was able to pick all of the locations on the board. I chose places where we have had memories together, like where we went on our first "date" (which was playing basketball) and where we got married (Waimea Falls). I was able to add our own pictures to the board as well.
We went out for our anniversary dinner the next week to the Cheesecake Factory in Albany. Rick had never eaten there before, so I wanted him to try it out.
I love my husband.
