Celebrating two weeks early!

So I decided to take control for this anniversary. I decided to do a staycation for our first anniversary in a way to save some money and when I found out the in-laws would be gone for 8 days during the last week of September/beginning of October, I thought it would be perfect to celebrate our anniversary then, even though it was two weeks early.

Mr. Chef made, or at least attempted to make, us a delicious barley soup for lunch since we went to the Annual Chili Cook Off down in Mooresville for dinner. 

Got out our Virginia reception cake from the freezer for desert.

(We even got fancy and got out the same cutting set that we used for the Virginia reception.)

Cake verdict: Other than a slight stale taste, it tasted just fine. 

What better glasses to drink our sparkling juice out of than our Mr. and Mrs. cups? 

And since it was a stay-cation, we just moved on downstairs to the guest bedroom for the night (and for the next 7 days...)

It was so fun to reminisce about our wedding day and to have some alone time with just the two of us. I can't wait for the real deal in just two weeks. :)
