L&L= 1 Year

Luke and I finally hit that one year milestone last Wednesday. Since we both had to work I decided to take half the day off to surprise him. I got to Cle Elum early enough to find his house (a big accomplishment since I've never actually driven there) and run a few errands. First I went to the bakery to get his favorite kind of donut (apple fritter) and my favorite kind (maple bar) I went to Safeway after to get frosting so I could write on the donuts. I thought they turned out great. When he finally got home I drove back to his house while talking to him on the phone. I had to avoid the use of blinkers and all that because he thought I was at work and I didn't want him to suspect anything. When I got to his house I told him to hold on a sec and I ran to the door and rang the doorbell. When he opened it he about went into a state of shock and just stood there staring at me, mouth wide open. He told me later that he couldn't figure out how I was on the phone and at his house. He was so surprised it was perfect. He couldn't get over me actually being there.
For our one year he had wanted to go out to a semi fancy dinner which seemed a little difficult to do in Cle Elum. We ended up picking a restaurant randomly (out of about 3 choices) and it actually ended up being a really nice restaurant. It was expensive anyway. Luke took me out for a 3 course meal which was amazing. We had spinach-artichoke dip, chicken dumpling soup, and he got chicken fettuccine and I got lasagna. It was so good and we were very full and happy when we left. I had originally planned to drive back that night but I decided not to and so I stayed and had to wake up at 5am which is what time Luke gets up for work. It was hard to get up but the drive back was really nice. I always forget how serene and peaceful everything is in the morning. I got to see the sunrise and my drive went really fast.
All in all it was a perfect one year. I couldn't have asked for anything more. We still celebrated on Friday too because that was our original plan. I baked a red velvet cake (I'll put pics up later) and I gave him my gift which was one of those Starbucks mug things that you can put pictures in. I filled it with pics of Luke and I and he loved it. Along with the cake, which everyone in my family loved too and helped us eat by the next day.
The last year has been so great with Luke and hopefully there will be many to come!
