Update and Our First Anniversary

Hello, and greeting from beautiful central Florida. It is such a lovely time of year here, it is about 80 degrees with a light breeze. We are doing very well! Time is passing quickly, I am growing and there are is only 5 WEEKS until our baby is due. I going to the doctor every week and we are so excited. The baby is beginning to get a little stir crazy and we are so excited to welcome him into our family.

October 12 was Our first Anniversary!!!! We had wanted to go on one of the discount Disney cruises, but they don't allow expectant mothers after about 6 months. So we wanted to do something special here at home. However due to our budget, we had to be creative. Andrew worked four 10 hour days and was able to get Friday the 12 off. So Andrew and I decided we would have a two day anniversary...

We started by waking up early Friday morning and going to a breakfast buffet. We then went home got ready and went to EPCOT. Andrew wanted to take me to the SEAS and watch the new Nemo Ride and we went to see Turtle Talk with Crush. This had been one of our first dates back when we first met. Following the show we went and enjoyed lunch at a cafe in the French Pavillion. Were I became part of a sidewalk acrobatics show. We then decided we were going to go to Ross and look for a robe for me and something new for Andrew. Alas, they did not have any robes but andrew and I moved onto our next adveture. The Dollar Movie. Yes, I wrote it correctly we found a dollar movie in FL. Granted it is about 45 minutes away from our house and in a little more rundown part of town. But we had so much fun. We watched the new Harry Potter which niether of us had seen. The movie went in and out of focus, the lights went off and on but it was an adventure and so much fun.

The Next day we slept in and went to Epcot for our lunch
reservations at La Cellier. It was a beatiful expensive resteraunt in the Canada Pavillion. We had a 50% off holiday coupon and a gift certificate, so we decided to splurge a little. We ordered a Duck Leg for our appitizer, I had a mango cranberry drink and Andrew had a rasperry chocolate something. We had so much fun. Then at the very end the restaraunt brought us a chocolate mouse sculpture with Happy Anniversary written on it in Chocolate and Rasperry. It was so kind of them. And was the perfect ending to our meal.

After that Andrew and I walked around Epcot and enjoyed the Food and Wine Festival. We became the special guests at the American Adventure. Where we were announced as celebrating our first anniversary, given priority seating, and givn a certificate and the cutest apple pie to share. We had so much fun. Just being together for those two days.

Aww, what fun! I think it's great that you got to be back at Disney this year for your anniversary, so you could relive some of those moments. How great! Glad you had a good time and happy anniversary!
