Zach and I have had one successful year of marriage!!! I only hope for many, many, many more!!!
This past year has been wonderful. It has been full of love, laughter, and fun times. We were surrounded by our awesome families, crazy friends and our two furry kids. For our anniversary we decided to take a quick trip to New Orleans. We went down on the Friday before our actual anniversary. We went down without a plan and just living by the moment. We got to New Orleans around 330pm and went straight to our hotel. Zach did a lot of research on where we should stay, since I was still hobbling along at that time. Bourbon Orleans Hotel was our final decision on were we would stay. This hotel was so convenient to everything. As soon as we got our room we went straight to Cafe du Monde!!
I had to make sure to get my beignet fix while I was there. After Cafe du Monde we went back to the hotel to get ready for the night. A sweet couple that we hang out with wanted to take us out in New Orleans for our anniversary. They did WAY too much. Randall and Heather drove all the way to NOLA to take us out to eat. We ate at the Country Club of New Orleans. The food was DELICIOUS!!! There are no words for how good it was. After dinner Randall (who is from New Orleans) wanted to show us around. We went to the Whiskey Blue Bar at the W Hotel. We enjoyed a few drinks and moved on to the Ritz Carlton. Enjoyed a few more drinks and chocolate drizzled beignets!!! They were delicious!
Chocolate drizzled beignets!!!! YUMMY!

Me, Zach and sweet, sweet Heather and Randall.
We has a blast having Randall as our tour guide and experiencing other placed besides Bourbon St. Saturday we got up very early and enjoyed breakfast at our hotel. After that we just did a little sight seeing and walked around.
After a long day we decided to head on back home and enjoy the rest of the weekend with Duke and Delta.
On our anniversary (10-31) we just sat at home and enjoyed being lazy. We did cook a delicious supper.
Hamburger steak, baked sweet potato fries, green bean bundles, and stuffed mushrooms!!! My mouth is watering thinking about it!!!! SOOOOO GOOD!!!
And of course we followed the tradition of saving your top layer of your wedding cake. It has been sitting in the freezer all this time.
It look just as good as it did at our actual wedding... now for taste... I will just say that it is a one year old cake.
Thanks to everyone who has been a part of our first year of marriage. Here is one year down... MMMMMAAAANNNNYYYY more to go!!!!!

Rick, Paige(wedding planner), Heather(bride), Randall(groom), Zach and me. Saturday was the big wedding day. Zach and I were asked to be program attendants. And of course we said yes. We got to the church around 1pm to be ready for the early arrivals. The wedding was at 2pm and was a full Catholic mass wedding. It was my first time to attend a Catholic wedding. It definitely lasted a lot longer than mine and Zach's 12 min ceremony. Their wedding lasted a full hour. After the wedding it was time to head back to the Country Club of Jackson for some celebrating. Once again there was food galore. It was all buffet style and was separated into sections. There was a Mexican line, Sushi Bar, Pasta Bar, Ham and Lamb Bar, Fruit and cheese bar and then a bar of sandwiches, chicken tenders, shrimp cocktails, and soooo much more. Their were three different bars to get drinks from: mixed drinks, wine, and beer. The lady at the beer bar definitely knew what I wanted when she saw me walking up. If I couldn't find Zach all I had to do was check the sushi bar and 90% of the time he was there. Heather's cake was sooo delicious and Randall's red velvet was delicious also.

Heather and Randall left the reception while a man in the back ground was playing "When the Saints Come Marching In." The got a in a white limo and off they went. They were leaving early Sunday morning to head out on a 12 day cruise in the Caribbean. Congrats Heather and Randall!!!!
