July 4th was finally here. I was anticipating it so much because not only is it my favorite holiday, it was mine and Alex's 1 year anniversary!!! On Friday after work I came home to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers. He is so sweet!!! On Sunday we slept in then headed over to Kris's grandparents' house for a bbq. They had amazing food: ribs, burgers, pasta/potato salad, corn on the cob, watermelon, chips, etc. For dessert there was kahlua cake and brownies and ice cream. Yum! There was also the option to swim but Alex and I were exhausted from the day/night before. We then went back to his place and watched Predator since I hadn't seen it and the new one comes out this week. After the movie we went over to Steve and Dessie's for more bbqing and fireworks. We were gonna play poker but everybody was too tired, lol.
Monday was so fun! We had planned to have our anniversary dinner that night but planned it for next weekend so we didn't have to worry about cutting it short in order to get enough sleep for work the next day. We slept in then woke up, got Pei Wei for lunch which was delicious. While we ate we watched Law Abiding Citizen. I had been wanting him to see it for awhile so he finally got to see it. After that movie, we watched Paul Blart to kill time before going to see Toy Story 3 with Anthony and Annalise. Before leaving we opened our anniversary gifts. I made him a shadow box with pictures of us from our first year together, 2 candles and some snack foods and a cute card. He got me a BEAUTIFUL necklace that was his grandmother's (which almost brought me to tears) and a frame set to put new pictures of us in. I LOVED my gifts. I feel so lucky to have found someone that I love with all my heart and who loves me in return unconditionally. I cannot wait to see what the future has in store for us but for now we are just living in the moment and enjoying being happy with each other.
