I often get annoyed when people talk about how happy they are or how great their life is. But honestly, right now, I am one of those people. Life is awesome right now. All the pieces fit right now, and this self-realization started this weekend, as James and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary.
It was such an awesome weekend! Friday night we went to the fair where we both ate ourselves sick. Literally. James's cake topper was the fried oreos, and mine a churro. But I discovered something new this year, as I usually do at the fair: bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers, made with real jalapenos! They were amazing.
Saturday, our actual anniversary, we woke up and I made a big breakfast for us of eggs, bacon, potatoes, rice, etc. Then we took Guinness down to Salt Creek for some time at the beach and the park. This park is amazing, and I had never been there before. Guinness made a new friend, Lea, a Shih-Tzu and Pekingese mix, all black, and they were immediately playing together. So cute! For my anniversary gift, James got us tickets to see Kid Rock and Cheryl Crow Saturday night at the amphitheater in Irvine! It was so so very fun! I had a few too many cervezas, but it was so fun at the time I couldn't help myself! For part of my gift to James, I have officially changed my name to Abby Baldwin Melad, and I finally got to use my new ID that night! It's the little things, ya know?!
Sunday, we woke up, had a big breakfast again, then went golfing at Willowick in Santa Ana. Came home, got dressed up in my newly cut-off wedding dress (above), and we went out to a fancy dinner at Flemings Steakhouse! It was unreal. Shrimp cocktail, Filet, potatoes, the works! And raspberry sorbet, with fresh whipped cream, to end it.
It was a perfect perfect weekend. Which just made me realize, life is great. Work is going awesome right now. I have amazing friends. I'm obsessed with my husband and my dog. My family is well. No complaints! For what feels like the first time ever.
And to top it all off.....my cousin Kelly is getting married this weekend to an amazing woman, Fabiana, and my great friends Stephanie and Matt are engaged!!!! I have yet to hear details, but received the text as I was typing this. I can't wait!
XOXO
