What Love Looks Like

First Anniversary in Big Sur: Part 3

We celebrated with an anniversary dinner at Sierra Mar in the Post Ranch Inn.

The food was amazing and the view was unparallel to any place I’ve ever been to.

It was heartbreakingly beautiful.

One of the bottles of wine we got on our Napa mini-moon. It was even more delicious than I remembered it to be:

Simple and classic amuse bouche:

I really loved that they used organic and sustainable food sources. I was totally feeling like seafood (I wonder why?) and I’m so glad I went with it:

Btw, everything was fantastic here and I highly recommend this place for special events/vacations/just because you’re loaded and you can eat wherever you want. However, there was one thing that was a bit…unsettling…every time I went into the ladies room (and I went several times during the course of the evening). This thing (it’s like Beetlejuice’s sister!) seemed to look over my shoulder whenever I’m at the sink washing my hands:

And it got scarier and scarier throughout the night because the lights are really dim in that bathroom and I got more and more inebriated from the wine (Rob was DD so I was sorta forced to drink more). P.S. The flash from my camera is making it look less freaky, but I assure you it was!

Love the following series. They really should be hung in a gallery somewhere.

LOL! Thank you Rob for giving me permission to post those.

First Anniversary in Big Sur: Part 1

Just Preparing Him

One Year Ago Today,

I married the love of my life.

A recap of our first dance:

Brighter Than Sunshine ~ by Aqualung*

I never understood before

I never knew what love was for

My heart was broke, my head was sore

What a feeling


Tied up in ancient history

I didnt believe in destiny

I look up you’re standing next to me

What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul

Love burns brighter than sunshine

Brighter than sunshine

Let the rain fall, i don’t care

I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine

Suddenly you’re mine

And it’s brighter than sunshine

I never saw it happening

I’d given up and given in

I just couldn’t take the hurt again

What a feeling


I didn’t have the strength to fight

Suddenly you seemed so right

Me and you

What a feeling

What a feeling in my soul

Love burns brighter than sunshine

It’s brighter than sunshine

Let the rain fall, I don’t care

I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine

Suddenly you’re mine

It’s brighter than the sun

It’s brighter than the sun

It’s brighter than the sun, sun, shine.

Love will remain a mystery

But give me your hand and you will see

Your heart is keeping time with me

What a feeling in my soul

Love burns brighter than sunshine

It’s brighter than sunshine

Let the rain fall, I don’t care

I’m yours and suddenly you’re mine

Suddenly you’re mine


Happy Anniversary, My Sunshine. Here’s to many many more!

Love,

Sophia
