Anniversary Awesomeness

As mentioned, Todd and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary last week. On the actual day, we exchanged gifts and ate the mexican food I had been craving for days. We went small on the gift giving, since our real present to each other is photographed a little further down, but for his gift I finally framed our wedding invitation which was designed by our amazing artist friend, Sasha Barr.

As for my present, Todd gave me photo of us on our wedding day, autographed by former President Bill Clinton himself! The stars must have aligned, because as explained in my recent blog post, Clinton visited his old house where he and Hillary were married and, of course, where Todd and I were married too. The magic about this, is that he arrived at that house (where he hadn’t been since he moved out in the 1970s) actually ON our wedding anniversary! As part of the media, Todd not only was one of the few people allowed in the small house when Clinton arrived, but he also got to talk to him about the coincidence while Clinton wrote a note on our photo. It’s our own, little unique story that we’ll surely remember forever and now it looks like I have something else to frame!

If that weren’t enough, the next day, Todd and I enjoyed our real anniversary present – a long weekend in Las Vegas!

We drank, ate, explored, gambled, swam, and slept in.
It was fabulous.

Plane ride there.

who I met on my Maui trip a few months back!
I joked that we only see each other
in fabulous locations.

On our last night,
Rob Thomas played a concert by the pool.
Apparently Paris Hilton was in the front row,
but I didn’t see her.
Otherwise we’d be BFFs.
Duh.
