Realizing more and more each day how close we're getting to our one-year wedding anniversary (next Sunday)! Without a doubt, this has been the best year of my life. I've really enjoyed getting to better know Chris and having new adventures with him. I'm definitely ready for more years to come. Bring it on!
Chris let me know yesterday morning that he had a surprised planned for our anniversary and that we weren't just staying ONE night at a hotel. That's the only clue I was given... of course I got the rest out of him. He couldn't leave it hanging! Looks like we're booked for two nights this coming weekend (the 29th-31st) at the Homestead Resort up at Midway. We're planning on getting a couple's massage on Saturday afternoon (I'm still convincing Chris of this) and just relaxing all weekend. I seriously can't wait! ... Now I just need to figure out what to get him....?

Weight Lifted
Chris and I just finished watching Seven Pounds, starring Will Smith, and I'm telling you now, if you haven't seen it, you must. The beginning is a little slow coming into the movie, as they set the scene but you catch up fairly quickly. I really can't go into much detail, as I don't want to give the storyline away, but it's quite the tear-jerker. If you're into movies that entail a lot of thinking about your own life, this would be a good choice. This is not a usual genre I'm used to seeing Will Smith play out, [I'm so used to familiarizing him with comedy] but it proved to me that he's a true actor. He's able to adapt to any kind of situation. All in all, definitely worth buying.

You only turn 20 once
I'd just like to start off by saying that Chris completely spoiled me! My birthday was so much fun!
I started the morning with my usual Friday morning Step Class up at Gold's (can't miss it, especially on my birthday! That class makes me feel so good!) and then came home to shower. Chris had run off to WalMart to do some shopping- gotta love the male species, always waiting 'til the very last minute. We left the house about noon and stopped at Subway for some lunch. After eating, we went to the Gateway Mall and did some birthday shopping. After a fun trip to VS, we went over to the Planetarium and saw Deep Sea 3D- it was SO much better than I thought it was going to be. Definitely worth seeing again. We were in a huge auditorium theater with hundreds of giggling little kids, obviously on Spring Break. Jim Carrey narrates the show and does a fabulous job! It was hilarious!
The timing was just right leaving the mall; we had just enough time for dinner at Rodezio Grill. I was mainly after the spicy chicken wings and salad bar. I didn't count points that day, just in case you're wondering. We then headed to the Hale Center Theatre to see Phantom. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't follow the original story line, but the cast was full of great singers and actors. I wouldn't reccommend seeing it for those who haven't.
The night ended with a stay at the Anniversary Inn at the Hayloft. I'm going to end the story there, you probably know how it ends. :)
Fabulous birthday! I really don't know how I can top that for Chris' birthday coming up in June. We did, however, purchase tickets to the Elton John concert for November and also have a bounce-back pass to the Inn. I'm trying to persuade Chris that we should use it then. We'll see.
