celebrating seven

jan2801
It's hard to believe it has been seven years.
Each one has been full of memories...
family, friends, vacations, weddings, work, moves, Bella, and adventure.

Gifting is a difficult task in Cartagena, so we made it easy on ourselves this year and purchased a joint gift.
My grandparents refinish antiques and over the past 7 years, we have gotten quite a few pieces from them, dressers, a wardrobe, and a hutch. We love the look and warmness they bring to our home.

We're not exactly sure what we will use this piece for {maybe a bar?}, but we look forward to displaying it in our home someday* as a reminder of lucky number seven.

*sadly, for now, it will sit in our storage unit among our other beautiful pieces

We decided to begin our celebration on Saturday.
I made red velvet small cakes/large cupcakes and for dinner we went to a new {to us} seafood restaurant on the bay for a lovely dinner.

On the big day of celebration, I was surprised with flowers before we made our way to dinner where we toasted to the love we've shared for seven years and all that is to come.
