A year already?

Nels and I celebrated our first anniversary together. ... We are quite the exciting couple. No roses, not even a card. We both figured, "What's the point?" We were just happy neither of us had to work today.

Instead we watched the Vikings beat the Seahawks and then headed out for Alaskan king crab at a nice restaurant near my parent's home where we had our groom's dinner and where I learned to make salads as a "salad girl" at age 16. We dropped Erika off at my parent's house beforehand.

It would have been quite romantic, considering the location, but you know, it's hard to hold hands and gaze into one another' s eyes when you're trying not to cut yourself with the buttery scissors you're using to cut away the shell to get to the crab meat.

We were so stuffed that we didn't even have a piece of our wedding cake that has been in my grandma's freezer for the past year. But my mom and Erika did and they said it was still very good.

It's hard to believe we've been married a year.... only what, 49 years to go?

Yay! Congratulations on surviving! You know they say that if you can make it through the first year, you're pretty much guaranteed to make it last a lifetime.
