There are pictures and memories and rings. It happened. It was a day. We loved every minute of it. Every single one. I often catch myself staring at pictures or day dreaming about our wedding and what's crazy is that somehow (I have no idea how so don't even ask) we are approaching the one day dedicated to reflection and memory and us. Our anniversary is Monday. This year, and hopefully many in the future, our anniversary falls on Easter weekend so Zach has a long weekend. And this year, for our big one year, he made it an extra long weekend and we are heading to Italy, to the heel of the boot - Puglia - and we are leaving tonight!
If you've been following the blog for a little while then you've probably caught on to the fact that we love Italy. We've been to Northern Italy, Tuscany, the Almalfi Coast, Rome a few times and now we are heading to the Southern tip, to the land of peasant food, fresh fish and pasta and olive oil. I cannot wait!
Recently I've been wondering why I crave chocolate for breakfast and then I realized that's because my dining partner is an eight inch milk chocolate bunny. It's a miracle he still has ears, after all oatmeal and chocolate make a fabulous combo.
Where in Puglia are you going? I spent a week without luggage in the small town of Oria back in 2008->2009! Loved Puglia. You have to try these tasty little baked cracker type snack called Taralli that look like tortellini. They're delicious and often come flavored with fennel.
ReplyDeleteHave fun Tal!! Happy anniversary to you and Zach!! xox
ReplyDeleteMany congratulations and blessings for the next year of marriage. Enjoy Puglia!
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Ah Talley how exciting! Although I certainly would take a trip to any part of Italy, I think I'm partial to the South... more traditional, less Western. Hope you have a wonderful time and Happy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY ANNIVERSARY Talley!
ReplyDeleteI hope your getaway is amazing...
If you come to LC this summer, let's please try and meet up for lunch or a beach walk- would love an in-person catch up!
Happy anniversary, Talley! You and your husband look so blissfully happy in that photo. Hope you had a fabulous time in Italy together.
ReplyDeleteOh and I just have to know... have you eaten the bunny yet? I'll take any excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast, even if it means beheading a cute chocolate bunny. :)
ReplyDeleteKathryne - the bunny is sitting in the kitchen, close to the stove, waiting to be turned into some sort of cake! hehe. glad to hear that you like the photos!
ReplyDeleteBowman - we stayed in Monopoli but drove to almost every little hill town. We didn't make it as far West as Oria though. Oh, and to be sure, we stuffed ourselves on taralli. Every where we went we sampled the local taralli. I need to learn to make it...perhaps a recipe on the blog is in order!
Happy Anniversary, Talley! I can't wait to hear about Italy. I love Italy. I've only been with my Mom and can't wait to go back with Rob. It is such a romantic spot.
