So Monday was our 1 year engage-aversary. So much happened in that one year! We celebrated by recreating our proposal night.
We went to see the Osborne Lights at DHS and got a picture in the same spot where DH proposed...
Then just like last year, we headed over to Epcot to watch the fireworks. Illuminations is my least fav fireworks show BUT the finale during the holidays is my fav! It's so loud and awesome!
We walked around and did a little bit of shopping. Since the wedding, I've become obsessed with owls. My last name is now Howell and at first my kids got my name messed up and called me Mrs. Owl. So now I just love owls and apparently they're trendy now too! China had some lucky owls and there was a yellow one that was for a good marriage. Unfortunately, they were sold out. But I'll keep going back to check. And we got Bella a little souvenier from China
Then we went to Japan and I decided to randomly look at pick-a-pearl thing. I've never been interested in it before, so I don't know why I was that night. But they had a Cinderella's Carriage necklace charm to put the pearl in---SOLD! We didn't have time that night to do it so we went back last night. It was so fun! It will be part of my xmas present from DH so now pics for now. But we decided it will be a new tradition. When we go to Epcot for our engage-aversary every year, I will get to pick a new pearl and have it made into jewelry for DH to give for me on Christmas!
Oh, and some of you probably read about this on FB, but I just went to my album meeting. Lillian was awesome! She helped narrow down my selection and made great suggestions and was sooo nice! And after she took me on a tour of the Disney Event Group building! So I got to see where they put together all these great events, where they do the video editing, and put the albums together. Then I got to see where the photographers edit the pictures and I ran into the amazing Regina! Then we went to see the department where they put together the in room celebrations. And finally I got to see the floral department! It was so neat to see! I saw a cascade bouquet for a wedding in 2 days. And we stopped by Elizabeths office but she was on vacation so I left a note. It was so neat to see it all!
