Our perfect anniversary!

As I mentioned on our last post, saturday was our first wedding anniversary! We would have loved to go on a little vacation, but we had other things to do during the weekend. so we really couldn't take a whole weekend off. But honestly, it couldn't have been any better! (despite my impatience :)  ) Yeah...in the morning I was acting a little impatient (poor Nate, even though he wrote me the sweetest letter and gave me the most romantic card), thinking that he hadn't prepared anything for me... I know, I get a little silly! He had to pretend the whole time that there wasn't anything else because he knows I'll get it out of him if I know even a tiny hint. I even told him a couple of weeks before that I didn't want any gift because he already bought me so much for my birthday and Valentine's! So he told me that he hadn't prepared anything special. Finally as the day went on, he told me that he had reserved a table at the Melting Pot! And yes, you have to reserve a table because they get reaaaally booked reaaaaally fast! I had no clue that restaurant was so awesome! I knew it was good but not nearly as great as it really is! Nate had told them, when he reserved  the table, that it was our first anniversary, so they had a happy anniversary card on the table for us. He also bought a special package to surprise me with the cutest little things! With this package, they placed a rose on the table for me, took a picture of us and put it on a frame, and when I got to the car, they had put a bunch of balloons with a teddy bear on my seat!!!! I thought it was the sweetest thing! He just knows me too well and know that little details like that brighten my days!

The food was incredibly good! The first cheese fondue was delicious. The salad was simple, elegant and so tasty! The second fondue with the meat, chicken and fish was the best I have ever tried. But the third fondue was just.... exquisite... white chocolate with caramel and a plate with strawberries, bananas, brownies, cheesecake...and something else I can't remember the name of :) all that to dip in the chocolate fondue. I would go there every day just for the chocolate fondue!

I was so happy with the whole meal! It's honestly the best restaurant I've been to, even out of all the restaurants from Madrid! And for those that know me, you know I wouldn't say that about a restaurant if it were not a really really really good restaurant...

I know I just wrote a whole post dedicated just to the Melting Pot... But that's just the highlight of the day! The rest of the day was very special, doing the things that I love to do with the person I love to be with the most. I was sick but God helped me feel better as the day went on and got my voice back! I was able to enjoy the day and just realize how much I love my husband. I am just so thankful for my life with Nate and how much God is blessing us! I just can't get over what a great husband He has given me! And I praise Him for it :)

We took some pictures with my phone, so I will download them as soon as I can.

Have a wonderful day! And thank you for stopping by ;)
