Anniversary Weekend

Guess who came to visit at the shelter this weekend! A little baby Samoyed. Isn't he cute? Every time he walked his little ears flopped up and down. It was pretty much the pinnacle of cuteness.

Hmm. I probably should've ended the post with that picture, since it's definitely also the pinnacle of the post's cuteness.

My next tidbit from the weekend is definitely less cute.

This is a bunch of free stuff that I got for volunteering this weekend at the BStrong Bike Ride for Cancer. Not including the kale from Alfalfa's, of course. That I got just to make sure that I had some greens in me for part of lunch. (Since the second part of lunch was mostly margherita pizza.) I even got a free t-shirt for volunteering, which is pretty great since I got it in my current size and I now have a workout t-shirt that isn't awkwardly snug around my belly:-)

After volunteering I went home to pick up David so we could meet my family for dinner. It's been awhile since we were all together, so it was pretty nice to catch up. I ordered a tilapia dish that I neglected to photograph. BUT! I did photograph the second half of it when I ate it for lunch on Sunday:

With leftover kale, naturally.

Also of note food-wise this weekend? These pancakes:

Which don't actually look very good, do they? Oh well. Put enough almond butter on anything and I'd find it tasty.

And finally, these guys:

Those are carrot cake cupcakes from Tee and Cakes. I picked them up on Saturday afternoon since Sunday was our first wedding anniversary!! Seriously. If you live anywhere near Boulder you really have to order yourself a small carrot cake. Just like a 4" cake. It's so worth it.

We didn't do much on our anniversary, but because we just spent the day together, alone, it was pretty nice. We took Haruki on a long hike, gave her a bath, made and ate dinner together, and took care of a few pre-baby things. We talked about our first year of marriage, including things that we had learned during it. I'm just glad that the pregnancy hormones dealt us a good day so I didn't have to punch David in the face or hate his guts _at all_ yesterday:-)

*What do you do on your anniversary, if you have one?
