Breaking News!!

I am no longer a newlywed! Okay, I haven’t called myself a newlywed since after say… the third month of being married, but Monday was our one year anniversary. Mr. Kiwi and I have made it through the so-called “toughest year of your marriage”, and are stronger than ever.

Sure, I don’t wear makeup that much anymore, and he’s lucky if I remember to put underwear on most of the time, much less sexy underwear. Now we write bills, go grocery shopping, and coddle Woofie. We nag our single friends to hurry up and meet someone so we can then nag them to get engaged, and we have begun to start looking alike—much like owners and their pets. Juuuust kidding.

We still go to Disneyland and act like children, taking pictures with the characters and having candy for breakfast. We got our new mattress and now delight in buying sheets at a sale price. Despite how dreary and boring it sounds, I love married life. It’s just not that different from living-in-sin life, ya know? So don’t feel bad if your life hasn’t changed other than a single piece of paper and insurance and tax benefits.

This weekend Mr. Pineapple and I planted a tree on his father’s property that we have dubbed Annie - the anniversary tree. We hope to visit Annie at least once a year and take a family photo, this year with just our little two-person family.

A year ago yesterday (I think it was yesterday, maybe it’s today…) I came home from work and these Casablanca Lilies, my favorite bloom, were waiting for me. Coincidentally, there was a trail of ants in the kitchen, which I got right to cleaning up.

I know this is the information you have been waiting on bated breath for, so I won’t make you wait any further.Last year, we indulged in the most incredible chocolate bourbon wedding cake with white butter-cream frosting from Sin Desserts in Providence, RI. It was hands down, the best wedding cake on the planet. Believe me, I know there is a lot of potential that I am biased because it was at our wedding… but we received more comments on how good the cake was than I can count.

It was so good, that when it came time to freeze the top for next year, I just couldn’t bear to freeze the whole thing, so I cut it into pieces, saved two for our anniversary and then brought the rest along on our honeymoon to snack on.

Mr. Onion and I joined the ranks of newlyweds who have saved the top of their wedding cakes to enjoy a year later. I have to admit… it tasted pretty darn good (more on the cake later)!

Cake made by Alison at Mirabelle’s Cafe in Burlington, VT.

Mr. Onion and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary by heading back to Burlington, VT, where we were married last September. We stayed at the Willard Street Inn where it all began. We enjoyed the weather and being outdoors in such a beautiful part of the county.

Today is our one year wedding anniversary. As is expected, I can hardly believe it has already been a year while at the same time, I feel like we have been married forever!

It was a bit difficult to get away this week, so we took a trip to Boothbay, Maine just before Labor day to celebrate our anniversary.

It’s official. Mr. Lollipop and I have been married for a whole year. I’m not even done writing about our wedding and we’re already back at the same place in our orbit around the sun. (If you ever want to finish what you started never take a job at a start-up. That goes double if you’re the only one with your job title.)Plus, I think we have about 10 thank you cards left to write. Crud. I hope Emily Post doesn’t decide to haunt us. They’re also the awkward thank you cards; the ones for people who bought us things that we can’t quite identify. Read more…

One year ago today, at 8:24pm Mr. Pineapple took me to Bow Bridge in Central Park and asked me to marry him. Everyone told me the engagement would fly by, I didn’t believe them. Until today, it’s been an entire year. Oh my goodness.

Mrs. Lemon: Has it really been a year since we’ve been married?!?
Mr. Lemon: It seems so much longer than…wait, I mean, Happy Anniversary?!?

So a whole year has passed since that lucky day last year, and it certainly seems like the year has flown by us quicker than I ever could have imagined! In a way, our wedding was really just the kickoff party for the rest of our lives. We got to share our love with those closest to us, but also invite them to share in the rest of our crazy adventures as we try to make the best out of everyday. Sometimes we come close… and other times we fail miserably… but the attempt has been the part of a journey I wouldn’t trade for the world.

We decided to be quite daring and pack this year full of crazy things, such as: Read more…

We just celebrated our one month weddedblissaversary!

The hubs and I have been really busy with work, catching up with friends, and moving between both family households, that we’re still living out of hampers surrounded by appliance boxes. I really wanted to do something special just to mark this little milestone by cooking dinner. I’ll take any reason to do a little something sweet for the hubs. So to mark our one month, I fired up the stove and fed him.

Prepping the goodness …
