One Year Anniversary!

On December 21st, we celebrated our 1st Wedding Anniversary! What a quick year! Fortunately, 2011 was full of fun and happiness, and opportunities for both of us to learn and grow. It is amazing how much we've learned about cooking, being less selfish, and serving others since getting married. We are so excited to find out what this next year of marriage has in store! This new year means our last semester at BYU, since we both graduate in April. We're so excited to hear from graduate programs and find out where we're headed after BYU. Stay tuned!

We were out on the East Coast visiting our families for the Christmas break, so we had a lot of fun the last two weeks (more on that in the next post). So instead of agonizing over picking the right gifts for each other, we decided to celebrate all of our anniversaries with dinner at a nice restaurant. We chose one of my favorite restaurants in Chapel Hill, The Mediterranean Deli. The deli's atmosphere is awesome. They have Persian rugs and tile decor and the smells of hummus and fresh-baked pita are everywhere. Matt chose a tomato, spinach and feta fatayer, while Jessica chose the hummus and gyro platter. Then we topped it all off with some baklava. Yum! It was all delicious! Definitely a great way to celebrate!




After dinner, we ate a few bites of our wedding cake. Jessica's parents kept it in their freezer for a whole year! It was definitely a little gross, but it's a classic tradition, so here are some pictures to prove we did it!


Year-old wedding cake, in all its glory.
