Monica and Ben

I picked up Ben from the airport yesterday and we headed for dinner. Not only did we not see each other for a week, but it is also our anniversary Sunday! We chose to celebrate Saturday.

Ben has been wanting to try Houlihan’s for a while so we chose to hit it up before we leave. This is the worst picture of me ever and I don’t know why I’m making it public…

This was Ben’s coaster! I thought it was suitable because he did put a ring on me ?

We started with…

Grilled Shrimp azteca with guacamole, sweet corn tamale cake and pico de gallo

I needed veggies and purchased the White Bean salad to start. It was much more beans than greens, which was a bummer. But, that dollop on top is goat cheese, which Ben did not think was a bummer ?

Tuscan White Bean Salad goat cheese, tomatoes, balsamic & foccacia crisps

I am typically not predictable with what I order, but you can bet that if I am eating out in Maryland I will purchase crab cakes! I had to, they’re just so good ?

JUMBO LUMP CRAB MELT A baked jumbo lump crab cake on grilled sourdough bread with cheddar cheese and tomato, creole remoulade sauce

The crab cake was delicious, but I expected nothing less ?

Ben purchased a Guinness, which I think is a very pretty beer. This picture doesn’t do it justice.

Prime steak & wedge salad gorgonzola, polenta croutons, spicy pecans, bacon, grilled asparagus, roasted golden beets, red onions, buttermilk bleu cheese dressing

Those golden things in Camiseta Feyenoord the middle of the plate are polenta croutons. I stole one and want to make these at home!

After dinner we took a walk and then it was time for cake! even though our anniversary is today, we had to cut the cake last night because it has been burning a hole in my fridge!

Originally, I was expected to be out of town this week too. Ben was going to FL and I was going to go to CA. But, when we found out we were moving I canceled my CA ticket and changed it  to a one way at the end of this month.

Since he thought we would both be out of town, Ben purchased the cake to be ready Friday.

I’ve had a chocolate Decadence Cake in my fridge because last Friday. and I didn’t eat it even though I was here by myself all week. Miracles apparently do happen, and that was one of them ?

I have joked on much more than one occasion that the only reason I got married was for guaranteed cake in a year. When I found out they cut our anniversary cake at our wedding I was not a pleased bride. But, I’m completely over it because it started a new tradition of anniversary Cake!

My piece, which I delighted in with milk.

While I was having my cake photo session Ben caught a Lightning Bug for me to see. We don’t have these in CA and I love them!

This morning we started our day with a walk. I love Sunday morning walks with my groom.

I ought to have worn my “Bride” shirt, so lets just pretend I did.

Despite all my love for my hometown, I have to say that Columbia is the best city for running, walking and biking! There are so numerous paths and lakes to run around. I Camiseta Ajax am going to miss this too.

Doing scary stuff (like moving across the country) is so much better when you have someone with you. We have had the craziest year, but it was considerably better because we were together ?

June:

July:  Drove across the country, with a few stops on the way…

 

August:

September – We went on our honeymoon to Belize!

October – Halloween as Fred and Wilma

 

November – family visit for Thanksgiving

December – Ben (who’s from Florida) and Monica (who’s from Calfornia) experience their Camiseta Gamba Osaka first snow storm.

And it was all down hill from there.

Okay, not really, but this last year did instruct us a lot about what we think is essential and how and where we want to live.

January – Disney Marathon

February – I was injured and Ben helped me get over it stretch.

March – All I can find is this picture of me waking him up ? They can’t all be winners.

April – Cherry blossoms in DC

May – red wine in the woods and Princeton Reunions

Now I’ve gotta cake to attend to ?
