We Made it Through Year One

     I can't believe it has been one year since the day we said "I Do"!  Seems like so much has happened in our lives in the past twelve months.  Some good, some not, but wouldn't want to go through it with anyone else.  So glad I found Geoff to share in all life brings.  We had a great weekend, spending time together and just enjoying each others company.
     Geoff had a test to take Saturday afternoon, so we took it easy on Friday.  On Saturday, Geoff was polishing his skills for his test, cause "Dicks Don't Fail"!!!  He wanted a break, so we walked up the highest mountain near our house.  Geoff had ran up this thing last week.  I don't understand how one runs up this thing, it isn't easy.  Once we got to the top you could see a long way, but it was a little hazy.  Geoff said the view was better before, he could see downtown and the ocean.  Guess I'll have to try it again to see that!  Geoff left to take his test and I made him a cookie cake for our anniversary.  The recipe called for a 12 inch cast iron skillet, but I had a 8 inch, so it ended up being a little thick!  Still yummy, but needed some milk after eating!!  I wanted to write Happy Anniversary on top, but was too lazy to go get icing, so settled for putting a 1 with M&M's.  I started putting them on there and ended up with lots of blue and orange, so just made them all blue and orange.   Go Gators!!  Figured Geoff would like that!!  We ended up calling it cookie pie!!  Geoff got home and we ate pie and played cards.  We are such nerds. We played 31, War, and Slap Jack.  Geoff really got into slap jack!!  I wish I could have videoed his technique!!  It was hilarious; I was a little scared to try to slap any cards with him.  Needless to say, he won!
     Sunday, was our Anniversary.  We got up and went to the 8:30 church service.  Pretty weird when we walked out it started to rain some.  Doesn't happen much here; sun was shinning, but dripping rain.  After church, we, or more like I wanted to, take a picture for our anniversary.  So, we went to Centennial Park on Coronado Island to try to get a picture.  We took the tripod and camera and Geoff worked his magic!  He did a great job for having to be in the picture!!  After that it was off to have lunch in Little Italy.  We went to Ballast Point Tasting Room and Restaurant to have some beers and food.  I ordered a beer and wasn't my favorite, but the good man that Geoff is he said here have mine!  True love to give up your good beer for my not so good  beer!!  LOL  Good beer, good food, and great company, couldn't ask for a better time.
      We got to have our cake topper, which I was excited about!  I love cake!!!!!  My dad was nice enough to vacuum pack the cake.  It was serious; in two vacuum bags! Lol!  The cake had traveled the long journey from Texas in dry ice, and was still very tasty!!!  Can't wait to finish it off!!
     We had a really good Anniversary weekend with each other.  So happy to have found the man of my dreams.  I am so blessed to have found Geoff.  I know I'm not the easiest person to live with, but he stands by me.  My Granny Irene told him, I bet it was a hard year for you!  Come on I'm not that bad!!  He is a special man and I'm lucky to have him in my life.  Can't wait for many, many more years together.
     I sit here and write this blog and eat a piece of cake at 9am (cause its so yummy) and have my coffee; I can't help but think today is the first day coaches are going back to work back home.  Kind of miss having a place to have go each morning.  Kind of a reason to wake up each day.  As much as sometimes you really don't like to go to work; it is kind of nice.  Mostly, I think its just the people and relationships formed at work I miss...  I don't know.  I guess I will find my place here, but for now I'll just be here for my husband.  And Jacque sorry it sounds depressing for a few sentences, I'm okay!  :)
