A Year Ago Next Week

     A year ago next week, my boyfriend and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary. Next week, on the 14th of February, we will be celebrating our 2 year anniversary. In celebration of that, I'd like to share some pictures and stories of how we celebrated our 1 year anniversary last year.
     As you can tell from this 1st picture, we changed a little. We both look younger and while I lost weight, he gained muscle. I'd say, they were good changes. :)

These were all my gifts to my boyfriend <3
Except for the tulips that were just there to hold the frame aha
& I put everything in the PINK bag as a joke :P

     So, firstly, I made a bunch of cupcakes and here is the top layer. They are decorated as pool balls because on your first date, my boyfriend took me to a desert place as I mentioned 2 posts ago, but then we also went for a game of pool. He was the one who actually taught me to play pool - I was pretty terrible at it that day, but I'd like to think I'm not so bad now :P But anyways, I thought it would be cute to decorated 3 cupcakes as pool balls and have your date written on them. None of them are the true pool ball colours, but hey, I'm not perfect - I just worked with what I had.

     Underneath this layer, was several more cupcakes in the shape of a heart.

     Next, I made him a "Love Chest" filled with red and gold envelopes. The red envelopes have a love quote for each month we spent together - so there are a total of 12. The gold envelopes contains motivational quotes as he was going through a tough time that year and I wanted him to be able to reach for one of these when he was feeling down and I wasn't there to cheer him up :)

      Then there was this picture frame with one of my favourite sayings: "Live, Love, Laugh" and pictures of us that went with each one.

      I also gave him a mini Burberry Brit cologne which quickly became my favourite scent on him and a sweet card as seen in the second picture of this post.









     These were all his gifts to me <3
I absolutely love those mugs!
We each took one home and I actually use mine every morning! <3

Aren't they adorable??!

   



       His next gift was taking me out to this classy restaurant and so this is just a picture of us just before we left.

   





     This is a picture of us at the restaurant. Behind us is a wall filled with photos of famous musicians, actors, etc that ate at that same restaurant. Some of the people in the photos include: Ryan Reynolds, Pierce Brosnan, Jennifer Garner, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Douglas, etc.
