Keeping up with the Kurkowski's: Celebrations!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all have a fun and/or relaxing weekend ahead of you!

A few weeks ago Andy had agreed to accept a position within the lab where his weekends would be thurs-fri and his work weeks would be sat-wed. It's really not too bad because it's rumored to be that weekends days are shorter, and Andy is happy to switch up his schedule a bit anyways! This position wasn't supposed to start for another month but Andy found out Wednesday that it starts this week, which is kind of a bummer since my darling hubby's birthday is TOMORROW! But, since we both had thurs/fri off this week, we've done some early celebrating :) We went to one of our favorite restaurants last night for a yummy birthday (and early anniversary) dinner! We discovered the place back when Andy was first stationed here and we LOVE IT, it's similar to Bennihanas but a million times better!

There were quite a few bday celebrations at our table! This was the bday crew...

Fuzzy picture but this was the best we got!

I gave Andy his present early, since it was a video game he's been dying to get and I figured he should enjoy it on his days off! I'm planning to wake up at 5:30AM with him tomorrow and make him a quick bday breakfast before work :) As for our anniversary on Monday, we both work, obviously, so I'm going to just make a dinner for us at home...with a nice big bottle of champagne of course!

It blows my mind that we've been married for a year (on Oct 1st). We were blessed with the most BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT fall wedding day last year, surrounded by all our family and close friends. If you were at our wedding, you'll know what I mean when I say that I crave our wedding food on a daily basis...gosh that meal was good! We had such a crazy first year of marriage: long distance marriage for 2 months, living in San Diego, adopting our puppy girl (aka our child basically), moving to Great Lakes and getting our first "house!" I'm thinking year #2 might be a bit calmer! I still can't believe that crazy, trouble maker, baseball player Andy Kurkowski kid I met at 15 is my husband! I never imagined I would have such a great husband, I am a lucky lady who's so excited to spend the rest of my life with my handsome stud of a hubby!
