Moonshadows

Todd & I celebrated our one and a half year wedding anniversary on Saturday!  Todd surprised me with an awesome beachfront dinner in Malibu on Friday night!

We went to a restaurant called Moonshadows that has an amazing location right on the water.  It was high tide, and so the water came all the way up under the building, and we watched the waves go in and out as the sun set!  

T-minus....

2 days until our first anniversary!!!!

The past year has flown by, and I feel so blessed to be married to Todd!  Every day is a new, and fun adventure....and the evenings are like sleepovers!  We usually cook dinner together, chat about our day, go on walks, sometimes we pick up ice cream, and then settle in for a movie or an evening of our favorite shows for the night!  How lucky are we?  I couldn't imagine sharing this journey with anyone else!  Thank you Todd for so may wonderful memories over the past several years we have been together, and for such a great first year of marriage!

Looking forward to our celebration!!!  ...In the meantime, I'm cleaning, cooking, running errands, crossing off things on my to-do list, finishing laundry, and anxiously awaiting Sunday!  :)

Whew!!!!

After a weekend in Birmingham for Todd's Pharmacy School Reunion, I am so happy to be home and caught up on laundry...well, almost the last "batch" is drying!  Now, I have exactly one week before the Anniversary (yes anniversary...can you believe in 10 days it will have been a year!!)/Thanksgiving mayhem ensues to get the following 'to do' list done!
