Backing up a bit, we had a fabulous time in Wisconsin over Christmas and New Years. It was such a good time, in fact, that our bodies couldn't handle it and both of us came down with bad colds. Edwin stayed home on Friday, and the past 3 days have been the laziest in recent memory. We watched lots of movies (Dark Knight Rises, Looper, Liberal Arts & Beasts of the Southern Wild- we liked 'em all) and took naps. Thankfully, R&R is what the doctor ordered and we are on the mend. 6 boxes of Kleenex, 2 bags of cough drops and many glasses of water later. Yikes.
We shelved some of our anniversary plans because of our colds, but we still had a wonderfully special day. We're still planning to go to a great Italian restaurant on South Congress once we're fully healed and can taste everything. In the morning, Edwin made me bacon and peanut butter banana pancakes. Delicious! We exchanged mushy cards and then watched our wedding video and read our guest book. We cried. Well, I cried- Edwin claims his eyes were watery because of the cold. I kid, I kid. We had so much fun remembering our wedding and reflecting on our first year of marriage. We deem it a great success!
Later in the day we made a fabulous dinner. Cooking together is one of our very favorite things- especially while munching on good bread and cheese. We had steak and mushroom & pea risotto. Delicious!! After dinner we got fancied up and went out for dessert and bubbly. Edwin had chocolate creme brulee and I had chocolate marscapone pie. Both were excellent.

It was a wonderful way to celebrate our first anniversary.
