Anniversary

Yesterday Juan decided to stay home from school because he wanted to spend time with me... Awww. It was a simple day, but relaxing and sweet none the less. I guess looking back, this year our anniversary was all about memorable food. (Yeah, that doesn't sound weird.) We reminisced about our honeymoon to Mexico with molletes for breakfast and shrimp cóctel for dinner (which we ate almost every day of our honeymoon.) The night before, we made Thai/Chinese fusion pad thai, chicken satay, broccoli with black bean sauce, and fried rice; this was to tribute the night of our first date after his mission when we went to Thai Siam.

I made this in honor of our anniversary, but we (and when I say "we", I mean "I",) got too anxious and cut into it the night before for an "Anniversary Kickoff"... at least that's how we justified it.

And here are the rest of the pics:

Anyway, ummmm.... I don't do "mushy" for the blog too much anymore, so: "Yay Us! Three Years Baby!"
