First Anniversary Gift

First Anniversary: Paper
Hello friends! Mr. SE and I thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary yesterday, and he really outdid himself with my gifts. My morning started w/breakfast prepared by him: chocolate chip strawberry pancakes, bacon, and lots of fresh fruit. After breakfast, he told me we needed to leave by 1pm because we had an appointment for a couple's massage at the Relache Spa in Opryland. How awesome is that?!? I was so surprised! After working a 12 hr wedding day on Saturday, I didn't take much convincing to get me on the massage table.

When you use the spa at Opryland, they give you full privileges of the resort -- so we lounged by their outdoor pool for a little while. On our way home we swung by Publix to pick up a mini version of our wedding cake. How thoughtful is this man? Later in the evening he cooked for me (again). This time he made filets, roasted potatoes, asparagus, and a salad with raspberries and goat cheese. Spoiled doesn't even come close!

For my gift to him, I went the traditional route and did something with "paper". I've written before about the significance of our marriage ceremony, and I wanted us to have the opportunity to remember and reflect on it daily. Amanda of Our Humble Abowed came through on this one! Here's the print below...(it's 11x14)
 What did you two do for your first anniversary? Did you go with the traditional gift of something paper, or did you think outside the box like Mr. SE?
