first anniversary

Yesterday Aaron and I celebrated our first anniversary! It's neat, because it's a real honest-to-goodness wedding anniversary, not just a dating monthiversary or the anniversary of when we started dating.

Our celebrations were comfy and low-key. We both had to work, but after work we went to this pub that serves nifty tapas. We had scallops with lemon pepper and shredded squash, an Asian stirfy bowl thing, seared ahi tuna, and some really fun tofu that was sweet and spicy and came with lotus root chips. We had a fun and mildly flamboyant waiter, and we both agreed that if either of us were gay men, we would have a crush on him. At one point Aaron had to tell him, "One of these chopsticks is not like the other..." One was a black drinking straw (or "drawing tube") that matched the chopstick. Much silliness prevailed as Aaron made airplane noises while getting me to eat a piece of tofu, and I impersonated a sea serpent while drinking my water.

After dinner, we walked down the street and found an Italian espresso and gelato place. Half of the occupants were middle-aged or elderly Italian men. Everyone was watching the hockey game on a big TV that had without a doubt been primarily intended for watching the world cup of soccer/football. So we had gelato and watched the end of the game.

Then we went home and watched TV and reminisced about what all happened a year ago, and Aaron read more of The Hobbit to me as I fell asleep. It was a good day.
