different from any other day,
was our mindset.
It was our day.
Not any longer than any other day,
but it was ours. We could do anything,
and we weren't gonna fight.
And we didn't.
We decided against canoeing in a circle,
and walked downtown to find cool shops.
Being labor day, they were all closed.
But the buildings were still old and unique.
As was our experience at the bar
a couple minutes later.
I stole their white ball from the pool table.
They were missing a ball anyway,
and it gives us something to remember from the day.
It made me feel good to get away with it.
Cory wanted to get off the block when I told him
as we walked away.
At dinner, we drank sangrias and ate wet salad,
but when the entree came we couldn't speak it was so incredible.
Jay-walking across a highway with a barrier to get to the Needle
was probably the climax of the evening.
Finally at the Space Needle, and waiting in line,
cuddling all the way, we took a quick kiss in front of the camera
and up we went to the top.
The view took our breath away.
Next time, I'll bring tequila shots in my bra
just for celebratory measures.
When we got down, we were exhausted and ready to be home.
Twelve dollars later, a taxi delivered us home.
It was worth it, I've never been in a taxi in Seattle.
Let alone with my husband!
I feel the term "newly wed" is more appropriate now,
because I'm so excited and happy to be married,
we got to a year so I feel settled
not like we have to prove anything to anyone but one another,
I want to make sure everyone, every soul, knows I'm married.
Just because I'm so proud!
It was a different day for sure,
it seemed easy. We just worked together and stayed happy.
Even when trying to find Pioneer Square, and the restaurant.
He picked out my outfit before hand;
a dress I have low esteem with but love to wear.
Just one more way I know he loves me,
he accepts me as just who I am.
I'm not odd or out of style or unattractive to him,
I'm Ana, the love of his life.
Yes, our anniversary was perfect.
