Wednesday, May 30 was our first wedding anniversary. I'd say that I've been
pretty spoiled this year. David is always so sweet to me. He's really good
about showing his appreciation of me. He definitely made me feel like a
princess when we celebrated our anniversary!
We got up early the Saturday morning before our anniversary to celebrate the
entire day. Our first stop was in Kyle at what David thought was a farmer’s
market, but ended up being a flea market. Oops lol
After venturing around the flea market for a bit, we went to lunch in San
Marcos at the restaurant where we had our first date. The food seemed extra
good that day.
Next stop was the movie theater. We don’t see many movies in the theater
anymore because it has gotten ridiculously expensive, so this was a treat for
us. We watched “What to Expect When You’re Expecting.” Can you guess that I
chose the movie?
Before the evening activities we went home to change. Everything was a
secret until we arrived, but David did tell me dinner was business casual
attire. We drove to downtown Austin and pulled up to
The Driskill Grill. It’s a five
star restaurant inside of an old hotel, and we got to sit in a corner booth
that has been voted the most romantic seat in Austin for the past few years.
The food was amazing! I had filet mignon and David had lamb.
For dessert we went and got coffee downstairs at the café. Coffee is definitely
my weakness. Then we walked outside to a horse-drawn carriage. Talk about two
of my favorite things happening at the same time. I grew up riding horses, but
I’ve never ridden in a carriage. David had it planned ahead of time for our
carriage to pass over Town Lake as the sun was setting.
As if I needed anything else, David gave me a gift as we were passing over
the lake. It was a beautiful silver necklace that is in the shape of an old
skeleton key with diamonds in it. I love it! And a gift card to Starbucks. The
first anniversary gift is paper so he had these cute purple paper flowers
inside of my necklace box. I had to catch them before they flew away.
On our way home we stopped by Hey Cupcake to get a scrumptious cupcake. If
you’re ever in Austin you should definitely get one. They’re worth the money.
I gave David two religious books and one non-religious book that he’s been
wanting to read. His favorite gift was a silver shaving set. It’s an old timey
one that has the brush to create the lather. He’s enjoyed shaving with it.
It was an amazing day with my sweet husband. He worked hard to plan
everything and had me surprised the whole time. I’ll never forget all of the
fun we had together celebrating our first year of marriage. I’m such a
fortunate woman to have a husband who loves me as much as mine does.
