Celebrating One (Official) Year of the LundeRoys

Sunday, June 3 was our one year anniversary but because I was gone for part of the weekend, we are sort of celebrating in phases. I got home on Saturday and found flowers and a ring that I had seen at our jewelry store and thought would look good on my right hand. Our gift is supposed to be a joint art purchase (still pending) but Austin surprised me with "finger art."

On Saturday night, we returned to the restaurant where we were married and had a fabulous dinner. At first, we were going to recreate our nuptial dinner of awesome Cajun pasta but I decided to go with shrimp creole and Austin went for seared blackened tuna. We were thoroughly pleased with the results.

For dinner we shared our "wedding cake," cheesecake. Instead of freezing a piece from last year we opted for a fresh slice. It is guiness flavored, really rich and chocolaty, and it even resembles a good pint.

On Sunday, the actual day, we just laid low and enjoyed a quiet dinner and a movie. The other "phase" of the anniversary will be next weekend when neither of us is working or conferencing. On deck is a picnic at a winery, a six course dinner with wine pairings at a cool restaurant that uses local and organic food, and a night in a nearby b&b.

It's been a great year.
