525,600 minutes

Holly and I celebrated 1 year of marriage last weekend. We reserved a room at the Pfister, just like we did for our wedding night, and made other plans as well.

We dropped our dog, Lumos, off at Holly's folks house and spent some time with them and also Holly's sister and brother-in-law before checking in at the Pfister.

We arrived at the Pfister and valeted the car; it always cracks me up to see my Focus lined up with Escalades and other more expensive vehicles, but the doorman always treats us like royalty.

Upon checking in, we are informed the room is quite ready yet. The hostess makes a phone call and asks for a hurry up on our room, and then gives us $20 in credit to the bar for drinks. Holly and I thanked her and went to the bar: Diet Coke for her, Ginger Ale and Jameson for me.

The hostess let us know our room was ready and we proceeded to our room. I had reserved a King Suite and it was fabulous! the front room had a counch and cushy chair, and the bedroom was as large!

We took a nap and then headed out to dnner at Saz's, one of our favorite restaurants, and then headed to the Marcus for Wicked. Holly loves muscal theater, especially Broadway shows, so I made sure we had tickets.

Wicked was amazing, and I think Holly is turning me into a fan of the theater as well.

We made a Leon's custard run after dinner and then back to the hotel to crash.

Up in the morning and breakfast in the Cafe at the Pfister, a ham and cheese omelet for Holly, biscuits and gravy for me. After breakfast, we went back to the room to pack and then to check out.

We went to hang out at Holly's folks some more, as well as pick up Lumos. We had lunch and just chilled for most of the afternoon.

Ater one year of marriage, I love my wife even more than the day I married her. We've been through alot: job changes, job losses, promotions, a move, difference of opinion, celebrating each other strengths, picking each other up during times of weakness.

I love you Holly ;)
