Happy Anniversary!

Happy Flag Day to everyone. Today is a special holiday when we celebrate the Stars and Stripes. Oh yeah, and its also our anniversary, so Happy Anniversary to us!

We have been married for one year. That's amazing. It seems like just yesterday that we were in Oregon at beautiful Bridal Veil Lakes having a wonderful wedding ceremony and spectacular reception. It was such a great day and we both have very happy memories of all the special people that were there to share it with us. Thanks again to everyone who made our wedding so incredible.

Now, one year later, we are still happily married and enjoying life. We have accomplished a lot in the last year. Bill is no longer in the Marine Corps and is now a full time student. He joined me in Italy and is living the good life! I received my new assignment in Panama and we're in the midst of getting ready to transfer. We have also traveled a lot this year: we spent our honeymoon on an Alaskan cruise; we've been to Milan for a Formula One race; we traveled to Elba, Pisa, and Lucca with visiting family; we went to Paris and EuroDisney; Bill traveled to Florence with his mom; we rented a car and drove around Sicily; we spent 9 days touring Egypt; we took a quick trip to Pompeii, Sorrento, and Capri; Bill flew to Texas for a wedding; and we are currently enjoying Lake Como. I guess its fitting that my blog is called "Taste & Travel" because we do a lot of traveling. (We also do a lot of eating, so the whole title is appropriate.) A lot has happened this year and we are happy to be experiencing it all together!

One year ago today we were eating delicious pizza from Bellagio's Pizza at our wedding. Now, on our First Anniversary, we are enjoying pizza in beautiful Bellagio, Italy. The food and the scenery are different, but we are still very happy and in love!

Pizza in Bellagio (not as good as Bellagio's Pizza)
Enjoying the pizza!
We even had cake that was similar to our delicious wedding tortes - but not nearly as good
Happy in Bellagio!
We are definitely enjoying our anniversary in Bellagio!

Happy First Anniversary! You both look so happy in that beautiful place. So glad you had time to get away. What a fitting celebration of your glorious wedding day - eating pizza in Bellagio. It would be hard to beat Bellagio's pizza, but the atmosphere surely makes up for whatever is lacking in taste. Thanks for taking time for this blog. I checked it - just in case - and was not disappointed. You're both amazing! I was just looking through the wedding pictures, reliving that gorgeous day last year. What wonderful memories!!Can't wait to see you in July! Mom & Dad
