Love this guy.

This past weekend marked our one year anniversary!  Husband surprised me with dinner at one of my favorites and tickets to The Nutcracker!! It was a perfect night.

So often you hear the first year goes by so fast, and it did, but then I look back some more and so much has happened in this one year.  One year does not seem long enough for all that has happened to have happened. This has been the best year of my life. It is absoultely crazy how you can love someone more and more everyday, it just keeps getting better and better. I love this guy. Happy Anniversary lover.

P.S. Anniversary dinner and night out counts as dates 4, 5 and 6 of our 12 dates of christmas! :)

TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS :: on our thrid date of christmas...

... We went Christmas shopping!

But first we made a stop at the lovely Mimi's Cafe for some of my fav french onion soup. And here we made our shopping list... and took a couple pictures.

This year husband and I are trying the whole let's not spend a lot of money thing, so we have decided to make quite a few of our presents this year. And because we've decided to be the crafty DIYers this season, we actualldy did quite a bit of our shopping at at Lowe's and Garden Ridge. Maybe I'll post a few pics when we finally finis making the presents, or maybe not.

TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS :: on our second date of christmas...

(Saw this idea on Rockstar Diaries and decided to borrow it.)

... Husband and I went out for dinner and a movie. Twas a delightful date.

Husband doesn't have any classes on Friday, so we hit up a matinee and saw the movie New Years Eve.  It had quite the cast! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my favorite, Sarah Jessica Parker!  I had absolutely no idea she was in this movie.  My review? 3.75 stars. It was good, not great, and I've been in such a Christmasy mood lately, this movie just did not hit the spot.

Here are a couple of pictures from dinner-- We went to a little burger joint called Kincaids Hamburgers. I've seen a few around Fort Worth, but I'm pretty sure we went to the original. Very tasty. My review? 4.5 stars.

This is our pathetic attempt to take more pictures... in my defense, husband would not pose for a picture (he was watching TV) Lame excuse, I know. We will try and work on the whole picture thing.

TWELVE DATES OF CHRISTMAS :: on our first date of christmas...

(Saw the idea on rockstar diaries, and decided to borrow it. )

... husband and I made a gingerbread house!

This little gingerbread house is our work of art. Husband thought we were supposed to eat it when we were done decorating... what? Nah, this proud sucker will stick around for the whole holiday season!

We may have failed to take more pictures, but we'll do better on our second date of christmas.
