One Year Anniversary pt. II

Chad and I decided to take a weekend trip to the Outer Banks to celebrate our one year anniversary. All I can say is AMAZING! The Outer Banks might be one of my new favorite places on earth. 

We stayed at a quaint bed and breakfast. Our room had a sun room and we could see outside to a dock that was on the property. We ate yummy food at Tortuga's Lie and walked on a pier that went 1,000 feet out into the water. 

We got to climb to the top of a lighthouse, and the view was spectacular. We went to the famous "Duck Donuts" and both ate three donuts each. Also, Chad bought me two pairs of gorgeous earrings that I am completely in love with.

ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

Happy One Year Anniversary to my incredible husband Chad. This year has truly been the best year of my life, I cannot image life without Chad. There is no way for me to put into words how much I love him, it wouldn't even begin to convey my adoration for him. 

I love you Chad, more than life itself. I am extremely happy we have been married for one year. One year down, eternity to go.

Video I made of some of our memories from the first year of marriage. Enjoy.

Bane of my existence

For a couple weeks now I have been craving Sour Mambas. This craving isn't like, "oh I want some but if I don't get any no biggie." It's more of, "I NEEDED TO HAVE THEM YESTERDAAAAY!"

And I swear I have been to every grocery store here in Richmond with zero luck (also can't find Jr. Mints ... what gives RVA?) Chad, being the sweet hubby he is found a 24 pack of Sour Mambas on Amazon. As you can imagine 24 packs of Sour Mambas have some inherent problems.

1. I only need one pack
2. I would devour all 24 packs in one sitting
3. Where would we put 24 packs of Sour Mambas?!

I told Chad not to order them and I would just make due. You guys ... that was literally 2 weeks ago and I cannot get this craving out of my system ... I've been going back and forth about ordering the 24 pack or not. It's gotten to the point that I'll pull up Amazon just to look at them during grad school ...

Well today there was a lovely large box sitting on our doorstep, from Amazon, addressed to Chad. He brought it into the bedroom and said, "OK, this is an anniversary present. You can open it now or in 10 days (anniversary September 20)."

I asked him, "well do I want what's in the package now or will I want it 10 days from now?" You know what my hubby said?!?! Chad, "you will enjoy what's in the package equally now and 10 days from now." Whaaaaaat?!

Then I asked him point blank if the package was Sour Mambas, annnnnnnd he wouldn't tell me. This back and forth questioning of the package went on for the better half of dinner. On the one side "I really want Sour Mambas." On the other side, "what if it's NOT Sour Mambas?! I might be disappointed and ruin my anniversary present ..."

Chad told me I had ten minutes to decide and I battled with myself not coming to any conclusion. So there sits the Amazon package ... waiting ... tempting ...
