So, it has been a year now (well, technically four days ago) since we both said our "I dos" and here we are, want to kill and stab each other. NOT! Lol. Of course, we're still madly and deeply in love. Everyday with hubby is just exciting and unpredictable. Actually, he always makes fun of me saying that I'm becoming more and more spoiled -- which is true btw! I am a queen and treated as one! But I think he does enjoy spoiling me more than me enjoying being spoiled.
Anyway, for our first wedding anniversary, hubby came up with some surprises -- he's quite good at that. We were out for 3 days and stayed in Tennessee. Our first day is some sort of a relax time wherein we got an Asian massage. Nice! I've been mentioning I wanted to have a massage and here it is, wish granted! After massage, we went for a drive over Memphis and Arkansas bridge to see the Mississippi river. I can't help but smile remembering Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer's adventures.
The next day is the 25th, our real first year wedding anniversary date. We celebrated by going for a fine dining at Flight Restaurant and Wine Bar in Memphis. Oh boy, food there was superb! Even the simplest form of fried chicken and waffles are to die for. And I like the way they serve food. Although they have a la carte menu, they are known for mixing and matching different items from their food and wine menu. Basically, when you add the word "flight" to your order (be it appetizer, entre, or wine), it means that you have to choose three different dishes/wine from the menu (though wine is out of the equation nowadays. Gah!) Sounds excellent for gluttons like me who wants to try everything! Haha. Now, I came to realize why my husband took me here :)

Our last day was a nice warm trip to Elvis Presley's house in Memphis aka Graceland. We have been planning to go there. Hubby keeps on mentioning how interesting Elvis' life is so we should visit his house, but we have also been postponing it for other more worthy trips. Finally, we found time now :) Elvis' was actually born in Mississippi and just moved to Memphis, Tennessee with his family when he was 13. Elvis' house is not that big like other Hollywood stars' mansions. Although he has a huge lot. There were separate spaces for entertainment, outdoor sports, and even for his graveyard. I can definitely say that Elvis' character is quite eccentric. This can all be seen by his personal choices in clothing and room designs -- there was even a room called the "jungle room" which is kind of inspired by his visit to Hawaii. There was one place though that visitors aren't allowed to see -- his bedroom upstairs. It was mentioned that that room was preserved and has never been touched since he passed away. Hmmm...
So, that's about it -- our three-day anniversary trip. Cheers for more days and years ahead of us, baby! I'm so thankful every morning waking up seeing your baby face.
