1st Anniversary

I know we still have a few months but I was wondering if anyone has started to think about what they are doing to celebrate there first anniversary?  We are thinking a cruise.  We plan on starting TTC soon and want to get in one good vacation before kids come along :-) 

 Has anyone else made plans or thought about it yet? 

Re: 1st Anniversary

  • I was wanting to go away for a weekend.  Even go to my old college for their fair and see a country concert... but H's neice is getting married in NC end of Sept.  So I don't think H can get off 2 weekends back to back.  And as of right now, I'll be on furloughs (20% pay cut for 3 months). 

    SOOOO.... I think I want to stick with the paper gift idea.  I thought of framing something like our first dance lyrics or vows and get H tickets for a Raven's game.  Of course this year they aren't playing the Eagles!

  • I think we plan to do a long weekend somewhere. At this point, I will be out of town on work travel for our actual anniversary, but we may do something earlier in October.  We are also  talking about running a race with his dad on the weekend after. It will be H's dad's 80th birthday and he wants to run a ten-miler. He is such an inspiration!

    ETA: I guess we should start training...

    I doubt we'll go away, although I guess never say never. But October's a hard time for us to get out of work with our respective jobs. We got a pass last year, but I think if we keep trying it, people will shoot us down. ;)

  • I think we'll go out to supper alone that's about it... Baby Bianca should be about 3 months old at that point. So getting away doesn't seem logical. Especially exclusively BFdng so Mamere and Papere (grandma / grandpa can watch her for a couple hours) while we escape :D lol

     I am sure DH will plan something nice. We never did have a honey moon maybe in a few years LOL

    We probably won't do anything.  I'll be in school so I can't really take time off for a long trip.  I had really wanted to visit all the  places The Notebook was filmed!

  • I'll be in my last year of school and that is midterm time for me. So we won't be going on the exact weekend, but I would still like to take a weekend away sometime around then! We honeymooned in a tourist Lake michigan town last year, so it would be fun to go back again to celebrate.

  • We will probably just go out for dinner. I'll be in school so we won't really be able to go away.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker 

  • I really wanted to go to Europe for a week.  DH just started a new job and can't use vacation time until he's been there a year.  I still want to go before we TTC.  Probably next May, and maybe we'll come back with little souvenir. ;)
  • We had thought about going on a nice vacation, but I don't think we'll want to spend the money since we are trying to pay down our house remodeling debt.

    I'd like to do something more than just go out to dinner.  Maybe we can stay at a bed and breakfast for a few nights.  Idk, we'll just see what we feel like doing when we get a little closer.

  • We have not discussed this and I doubt we will do anything big.  We will have a 2 month old baby and will probably just do cards and small gifts for each other.

  • Well...we're leaving for Italy on 10/14 (2 days after our anniversary) for our belated honeymoon!

    We weren't sure if we'd be in Italy or home for our anniversary at first; but the way flights worked out, we'll be home.

    We already talked about getting a small red velvet cake (our wedding cake was red velvet). I would make one myself, but I don't want to be baking 2 days before we leave the country for 2.5 weeks LOL.

    We probably won't do gifts, since the trip is $$$ and I'm sure we'll be buying things there. Do plane tickets count as paper even if it's an e-ticket LOL?!

  •  It'll totally depend on which job H gets, if he gets a new one. I would like to do something small, like going to gatlinburg for a couple of days. 

     Christina- that sounds really cool wanting to see the places from the notebook!! We go to Charleston with H's family almost every summer, and so I've seen the door they used for allie's house!

    We will either go out to dinner or have a nice dinner at home and exchange cards.

    I'm hoping to be able to go away for a long weekend.  Our anniversary is Columbus Day weekend.  H is an accountant and that's right before the end of extensions, so he's unsure if he'll be able to take 1 day off.  I'm hoping!!
  • We've batted around a few ideas, but we haven't decided on much. The only thing I said that I wanted, for sure, was that we spend the day without our cell phones (H is constantly texting his friends some days and it gets annoying when we're supposed to be having "alone time"). I'm hoping that we can at least go somewhere and take a long weekend to celebrate.
