One Year

It has now been one year since Ashley and I changed our facebook relationship status to married. Our first year of marriage has been great. Traditionally the couple is suppose to save the top of the wedding cake and freeze it to defrost an enjoy on the first anniversary. Not wanting to offend the gods of tradition Ashley and I removed the top of our cake and placed it in her parent's deep freeze in Houston. Everything was progressing as it traditionally should when Hurricane Ike decided to make a visit. The power in Houston was out for close to a week resulting in my in-laws freezer defrosting. Needless to say our cake was ruined.

Knowing how much my wife enjoyed our wedding cake we began talking about getting the top of the cake remade for our anniversary. On a recent trip to Houston my wife asked if she could check and see how much it would cost to get the replacement top layer. She reported to me that the baker was to busy at the time and the cake would be to expensive. Wanting to give my wife everything she wants I was determined to find a way to get her wedding cake. When I called the baker and explained what I was looking for she said to me, "Oh, is this the order that was placed by Ashley Wood?" In order to surprise me my wife had lied to me and already ordered the cake. The cake was delicious and our anniversary was wonderful but what made it wonderful was not a pastry or surprise but the fact that we really just wanted to make the other person happy.
