Happy Mail and Happy Anniversary

Well, this has been one fantastic weekend with my husband! We celebrated our first anniversary yesterday and it was a great day! We went to Kirklands and I picked out a painting and Alan bought it for me. It's beautiful and has golds and aquas in it to match our master bathroom and reads..."I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me..."

We had a lovely dinner at Saltgrass Steakhouse and we ate some of our delicious wedding cake. We were so busy at our wedding reception that we didn't get a chance to eat a whole piece of cake that day, so thank goodness for the tradition of eating wedding cake on your first anniversary. Mom had it in her freezer and brought it to me a few weeks ago. I put it in my freezer and took it out Sunday morning, and it really was good. I was skeptical at first, but we really enjoyed it and we had fun reminiscing about our special day.


I got some wonderful happy mail today from my good friends Lindsay and Meg. I have made such wonderful friends through my blog and these 2 girls are favorites of mine!

Lindsay made me my very own treasure box in my 2 favorite colors...red and green. Yes, I know they are Christmas colors, but they are my favorite anyway. Plus, it will look really cute as a Christmas decoration this holiday season! She hand painted it and even included some of my favorite candy. Thank you, Lindsay!!! I love it so much! I had a hard time getting a good picture, but here's what the top of the treasure box looks like...


























My friend Meg knows that I collect stickers and she surprised me today with several sheets of scratch and sniff stickers! I absolutely love them! Stickers are the way to my heart! :) Thank you, Meg! I love them and YOU! Check these out...





























I am a very lucky girl to have such an amazing husband and such wonderful friends in my life! Thank you again sweet friends!
