Yesterday Sam and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. My lovely husband sent me some beautiful flowers at work:
After work we went out for a nice dinner at Olive Garden (yum!) and then came home to the traditional 1st anniversary dessert:
Year old wedding cake, almost year old grape juice, and freshly baked pineapple upside down cakes!
The cake… well it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Kinda dry, but other than that it was okay. Not something I’d eat for kicks, but impressive for a year in the freezer.
We also had a bottle of grape juice that we bought at the Biltmore on our honeymoon. We hadn’t intended to keep it til our anniversary, but after we kept forgetting to drink it we decided just to save it for the special occasion. It hadn’t been opened so it was still good.
But the highlight was the freshly baked pineapple upside down cakes. That is by far my favorite type of cake. My grandmother called and asked me to stop by when I got off of work. I went over and she had just got done baking these two little cakes for us. SO good!
We both had a really great anniversary and I’m so blessed to have had Sam as my husband for the last year!
