{Delicious Pizza Recipe}

Since I started making meals for two, I have discovered that I really love cooking! It's definitely been a trial and error process, but I discovered a recipe website that is amazing - All Recipes. I got this pizza recipe from there and altered it just slightly. This pizza is packed full of flavor!!!

Happy One-Year Anniversary!!!

On February 21, 2010, Rob and I celebrated our one-year anniversary. Cannot believe it's been a year already! And what an amazing first year of marriage...

It's funny how girls always think about the person they're going to marry, or at least I did. I was telling Rob the other night how I always pictured a kind, gentle guy who would be tall, dark-haired and handsome, just like him. Or maybe this is how every little girl pictures their future husband. We were lying in bed talking, just about to go to sleep, and I told Rob that I wanted us to remember this moment for the rest of our lives.  This moment where we were young and in love, living in a big city by ourselves, and in our first year of marriage. I made him promise that he'd always remember us just like that, no matter how old and gray we get, and no matter how what the future holds for us...

Here's some pics from our anniversary celebration. In memory of our South American honeymoon, we ate a fabulous dinner at Fogo de Chao, a Brazilian churrascaria steakhouse. We were so full it was seriously painful! We drank a bottle of Salentein, an Argentine red wine, which we bought on our honeymoon in Argentina and lugged in our backpacks all the way back to the USA. We also ate our wedding cake topper, which had been taking over our freezer for a year. I thought it would be horribly freezer-burned, but it turned out to be really good!

Yay for 1 year!
