Our anniversary!

This blogging is hard - as hard as going to the gym more than once a year or eating 5 fruits a day. Keeping this thing fresh could prove to be as impossible as keeping bread on the counter in a heat wave.

Wedding news ... Well, Twinkie and I celebrated our one year anniversary. Astonishing. We had a beautiful day in spite of me having to work at the church for most of the afternoon. We got away at 3 and went to our favourite bacon diner. They were closing, but let us in, locked the doors behind us and served us our usual special, with extra bacon. We had a lovely chat with Maria and she offered us drinks on the house. Told her it was our anniversary and that we were going for a country drive. Wouldn't remember any of that, except it was all in an email sent to me by my ex the next day after she'd gone into the restaurant and asked if we'd been in lately. When she got the answer, she felt compelled to write me a long letter about how horrible I am. I didn't feel up to countering the horrible part, but I corrected some misinformation in her tome and then shared with her that Twinkie and I are in love, living together and getting married.

After brunch, we left Toronto and went for a drive and revisited all the places we'd seen on our first notadate on July 18th, 2009. It was romantic and sweet and silly and fun and fabulous. I'm so glad we did it. We found some neat little antique shops and went back to a pub that has the nastiest staff and worst service ever. When we walked in, they said "we're not serving food and we're almost closing, so ...." I ordered a beer and drank it from the bottle (did I mention it is also dirty) Twinkie didn't drink her pop from a glass. But i'm still glad we went. Will post pictures here.

Both of our hearts were full with our lovely day - sounds cheesy and it is. And I'm proud of it. Bliss and enjoyment are so incredible and so fulfilling and I celebrate it when it comes my way :) Thank you so much Twinkie.
