Eric and I have officially been married a year! Our anniversary was everything I had hoped it would be! Time has flown by and I know it will go even faster once our little bundle of joy makes her appearance into this world! Yesterday was my surprise to Eric sense he did his on Sunday.
When Eric first entered the house there was a sign stuck to the door. It read " We have weathered through the first year! Happy Anniversary"
When he entered the house there was rain drops hanging from the ceiling. On each rain drop I had written something we can be thankful for. I had thunderstorm music playing in the background. It was cute because I was hidden behind the corner and I got to hear his reaction cause he didn't know I was there :)
I decided to not waste the rose petals he used on my surprise so I reused them with mine :) I also made his favorite peanut butter cookies. I had a glass of milk waiting by them as well.
The rose petals lead to our room where another sign was hanging that said "Now lets celebrate"
I had balloons all over the room in the colors of our wedding. I had a friend pick them up and bring them over when Eric was at work so he wouldn't see them :) She had bought a dozen the night befor and they all had fallen to the ground by the next day. She had to pick up 12 new ones on the day of the suprise. I never knew they lost helium so fast!! On each balloon was a photo within our year of marriage. I had random photos and some of our wedding and Audrey's ultrasounds.
On the bed I had put together two jars. One said "hooked on you" and had gummies in it. The other said "Reasons I love you" and contained mini Reese's peanut butter cups. On the bottom of every Reese's was a reason I loved him :) Then I printed off two tickets to see a movie... which was a movie I had rented with some popcorn. I also had boughten two cards. One funny and one romantic ;)
I loved seeing the smile on his face as he got to each thing. I would have to say it was pretty fun coming up with ideas of things that didn't cost money but would show how much I loved him. More than likely next year he will be deployed during our anniversary so it was important to show him now how much he means to me. I never imagined my life to be this joyous and everyday he brings more! Today we have officially been married over a year... I cant wait to see what this next year holds for us!
I LOVE YOU ERIC ELLIS
