-Happy Anniversary To Us-

Sunday, 10/10/10 was our 1-year anniversary! And this year went by at lightning speed, I must say! We celebrated by staying at The Raphael in downtown KC and shopping at the Plaza and Brookside, a couple of my favorite shopping areas. (Tyler was very good and did not complain in any of the girly stores!) We ate lunch at a chef-owned cafe called ingredient that I've been dying to try out, and also at one our favorite reastaurants, Em Chamas. They bring you a ricululously endless supply of 14 different sizzling meats, and you get to take as much as you want. A perfect meal for us, anti-vegetarians! Also very heart-attackish. We try to limit our trips there to once every month or so. As you will soon see, I was thoroughly enjoying my 'retro camera' app on my phone (hence the many vintage looking pics below). Some are not, in fact anniversary trip-related but oh well. Anyway, we had much fun. Thanks to those who wished us well on our anniversary! Adios, and can't wait to see my Chico family at Thanksgiving!

So cute! In Anthropologie they had this set-up in the kitchen area,

(the french fries were made of foam) I LOVE this store!
