Never Dunn Dreaming: anniversary + touristy

Last weekend, we celebrated our one year wedding anniversary! Last Sunday also marked our seventh year together. It's crazy to think back to when we very first started dating and then to see how far we've come. I love him so much.

We started off our anniversary celebration weekend by going to BodyPump on Saturday morning. I love when Matt takes the class with me. Then we came home to get ready to head downtown. Our first stop was Easley Winery in downtown Indy. We had driven by it a few times, but never been. We took the tour and then stayed to do a little tasting. The winery was really cool and the wine was yummy of course :). After the winery we made our way down to the Canal Walk. On the way down there, we stopped at Monument Circle to take a picture for our one year. Matt proposed at Monument Circle 2 years ago and it's a special place for us. I have really been wanting to go down and walk the canal, but we haven't had the chance yet. The weather was gorgeous on Saturday and it was so nice to be outside walking around. The canal is so pretty and it's a really cool atmosphere down there. We walked all the way down to the zoo and took a bunch of pictures. Matt was such a good sport with my excessive picture taking. We were being tourists in our own town :).

We came back to the house to get dressed up for dinner and then made our way back down to Fogo De Chao. It's a Brazilian steakhouse and it's absolutely amazing. We thoroughly stuffed ourselves and I loved every minute. They have a big salad bar with really good salads, cheeses, and veggies. After we ate our salads, we started with the crazy meat shenanigans. They give you a card with one side being red and one green. When you are ready for the main course, you flip your card to green and they are there immediately with your side dishes and the guys start coming one by one with the meat selections. There were like 12 different kinds of meat ranging from a type of brazilian prepared steak (our fav!) to filet mignon to bacon wrapped chicken and parmesan pork tenderloin. Matt was in heaven. At the end of dinner, our waiter asked if we wanted dessert (does ANYONE get dessert there? there should be no room left in your gut!) and she chuckled as we said no way. The next thing we knew she brought out a huge piece of yummy chocolate layer cake with "Happy Anniversary" written on it. Yes, we ate all of it but a couple bites, and yes I finished it off later that night.

On Sunday, we went down to Oliver Winery. We had planned to ride the motorcycle, but the weather had other plans. We made our first trip to Oliver two years ago on our anniversary and got there close to closing time so this time we wanted to be able to spend a good part of the day there. We love Oliver. We were able to take the tour this time which was awesome and then we got to do tasting in the private cellar. The lady saw us wandering around trying to find a spot to get in to taste and she invited us to the cellar to taste. Awesome! It was really cool being in there. Our lady was very generous and so I think I tried just about every white wine on the list. We grabbed a bottle of wine and went out to enjoy it on the patio overlooking the pond. I love just "being" with Matt. It doesn't matter what we are doing, it's just more fun with him by my side.

We spent a couple hours at Oliver and then traveled back home where Matt and I made homemade sushi rolls! Matt started doing this a couple weeks ago and we are starting to get pretty crafty. Well, he is. I don't do a whole lot besides give ideas and maybe roll a few :). We made like 7 or 8 rolls and some fried rice and then demolished them. Of course, we then rolled out our top layer of wedding cake for dessert :).

Happy 1 year!
