Love is in the air

Valentine's Day last week was incredible! My husband and I celebrated 7 years as a couple with a four-course dinner at an Italian restaurant in Toronto. My awesome husband also surprised me with a big bouquet of red roses, macaroons and a "Good Morning Beautiful"-coffee cup as a Valentine's present.

My day got even better when I found out that my brother had proposed to his girlfriend during a walk along the beach on Valentine's Day!!! I cried tears of joy when I got the good news. I look forward to their wedding so much! Love is in the air!

5 Years Of Marriage

On Sunday my husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's already five years ago since we eloped to Jamaica and got married!

The pictures from our wedding are becoming more precious to me every year, looking at them takes me back to that special day. I remember how nervous I was, how surreal the whole experience felt and how happy I was that I had met the love of my life and that soon I would get to call him "my husband".

On Sunday we celebrated our anniversary with a cake of the same flavor as our wedding cake, chocolate cake with coconut filling.

I got my husband a card and the perfect anniversary gift, something I know he will use a lot!

My husband got me this card plus a gift card to Sport Chek, he definitely knows me by now. :)

What's inside that bag?

Yep, I got him a stylish coffee cup from Indigo. Both my husband and I are quite obsessed with coffee and tea so I'm pretty sure he will use his gift. We exchanged gifts and ate some cake during the day and in the evening we celebrated with a date night at the Keg. Our tradition is to ask each other a few questions about our life together during our anniversary dinner. My husband's questions were: "Where do you see us five years from now? What would you like to change and what part of our life together would you like to keep the same?" I asked: "What's one thing that became different than you expected in our marriage?" and "What's one thing that became just as you had hoped in our marriage?" Our questions led to some really interesting discussions and we set some new goals for the future that I'm excited to pursue together during the next five years.

My Weekend

On Saturday we went to a wedding and had a really fun time with our friends. I love weddings! Sunday was beautiful and warm in Toronto with +23 degrees Celsius, but I spent most of the day indoors at a conference. We decided to spend the evening downtown in Toronto. We enjoyed a very tasty dinner at Jack Astor's, I had their Smiling Buddha Salad which is one of my favorites. I also decided to treat myself to my first iced latte of the year on Sunday since the weather was so nice.  I definitely look forward to more weekends like this one as the weather continues to get warmer. I'm also starting to long for another road trip! :)
