want it to be special....
it's hard to believe....the hubby and I have been married almost a year already! I can't believe how fast time has flown. Our anniversary isn't until the first week of feb....but i need ideas! I want our first anniversary to be something we both can remember. the hubby's birthday is the day before....so somehow, I have to figure out how to incorporate it all. Do any of you have any ideas of what we can do? Or stories of celebrating your own first year of marriage? 
oh yeah, btw....money isn't exactly tight but we can't go spend a fortune either way so any ideas would be great while I still have time to plan. I'm so excited!

Re: want it to be special....
I agree with PPs. Trips make memories and have pictures to scrapbook or frame! Buying stuff will just pile up and become old.
DH and I forgo gifts for our anniversary to do trips (but we still give each other cards).
Oh and FYI, since descretionary spending is down due to the economy, many 4 and 5 star hotels have lots of empty rooms they'd love to fill. It's possible to get a great rate via Priceline.com if you go the Negotiator route.
I just had a 4-star overnight for $65 including taxes at the start of December. I went through the Priceline Negotiator.
