Barf this is cheesey! Anyway, I love Jake so much. I snagged him from at least 4 girls who were in love with him and without even blinking. *rubbing hands together evil-ly* he was definitely the one doing the courting, so I guess I got lucky. Yay for 5 years of knowing my soul-mate!

ps maid of honor, woohooo! I'm so excited.

I know it's a bit belated, but here are some pictures of Piper and her green eyed monster sock monkey valentine. His shirt says "Roar", but she wasn't scared.

To Jake. The hand heart looks much better from the view of the person doing it, but what it lacks in symmetry, it makes up for in size. I have the longest fingers in the world.

I love jake so so so so much. I love being married to him. I love the last two years of marriage. And I love the next infinity years together.

For our anniversary, we decided that I would plan the day and Jake would plan the night. We started out the day with full body massages at Super Magic Fingers. I was really afraid of the name of this place. We weren't sure what they meant by "magic'' fingers, but thankfully there were no lasers or lightening bolts coming out of them. In fact, I was shocked that it was beautiful inside, peaceful, quiet, smelled wonderful and most importantly the massages were amazing. Here I am walking in. A bit nervous. After the massages we ate lunch at Shake Shack, which was a zoo, but worth it. Their 'Shroom burger is a vegetarian force to be reckoned with. We didn't take any pictures there because we didn't get seats and sat on a bench.

Then we went to Crumb Bakeshop for some anniversary cupcakes. I love this place.

I swear, the cupcakes are much larger in real life. I couldn't finish mine. That NEVER happens. Also, their green tea was the best I've had.
Jake got the brownie cupcake with hot chocolate to drink. Like a little kid. He is so cute.
Jake then told me that we were going home to pack because we would be staying at a hotel at rockefeller plaza. He took me ice skating, something I have wanted to do with him ever since we started dating 4 years ago. Seriously, it's been not so casually suggested by me over 50 times.

I'm a much better ice skater than I remember. I've decided not to go pro only because I'd rather be a rockette.

Here is Jake taking a breather. I think this picture is darling. Him, with his hands in his pocks, relaxing with his little skates on....

We then ate a delicious dinner at Fireside where we "kindled our senses". This place was delicious. Jake had chicken and I had butternut squash soup.

The whole day was blissful and romantisized.

*We are still at the hotel because Jake wont stop sleeping.

An axe body spray commercial!! Or "the axe effect". Look close and you'll see rumpled clothes, buttons fastened wrong, lipstick on Jake's face and neck, shirt untucked, stockings lopsided, messed up hair and if you look really closely there's a leaf in mine. A little inappropriate you might think, but we're married.....so it's fine. The Carters were Meg and Jack White. Awesome.

Juno and Bleecker, and Bear as a skeleton
And guitar hero.

If you want to feel insecure about your hosting skills, go to Becca's apartment. Everything is perfect. The food was delicious, spooky and adorable. Plus the decorations were so cute. Plus there was a costume contest and Jake didn't win "gayest". So, the night was a success. I am going to miss Halloween oreos.

I mean Halloween.
