I feel like it was just yesterday that I walked down the aisle to my groom at the beautiful Sodo Park filled with our family and friends. I remember all my bridesmaids looking at me nervous and anxious, asking me if I was really as calm as I looked. And the truth is, I was. I was so excited to start our journey in life together! Having a partner that continually challenges me to grow, while always being kind and patient is something really special, and I can't wait to continue growing and see where this life takes us.
I had originally planning on making a nice little meal for us on our actual anniversary but we had got home a little late from our trip to Vancouver and didn't want to rush a special meal, so we decided to move it out a night. As Kirk put it, "extending our anniversary even longer". Silly boy.
Somehow we had managed to save a couple pieces of frangipane tart and raspberry brownies from our dessert bar at our wedding. At one point during last winter I saw Kirk snacking on a brownie and I was like "whaaaat are you doing!?!?!" -- he clearly had no idea that I had been saving them for this crazy tradition, so I guess we are lucky we had anything left over!

I made us a herb mix salad with some fresh peaches, goat cheese, and blueberry vinaigrette, King crab---one of Kirk's favorite things ever that we rarely get to indulge in, and a darling little chocolate cake with fresh strawberries & unsweetened coconut! We paired it with one of our favorite champagnes by Laetita!
The spread!
One year! :)
A tasty celebration to say the least!
This was just a quick little post but I will be posting about our Vancouver trip sometime this week - till then we just want to say thank you to our dear friends and family that have shown us so much love through our journey this past year! We love YOU!
