one year engagement (:

so yesterday was our one year mark of being engaged (: not only that, but it has been a year since justin left for basic (crazy!) sooo i decided to make a cute little dinner for him for when he got home: zuppa toscana. my favorite soup from olive garden! and since i can't exactly go there to eat it, i figured why not try to make it. it was definately a success; it was delicious! (i will share the goodness at the bottom also haha)

(oh yes, also had some yummy starfruit!)

after our little dinner, we ventured out on our little nightly bikeride and went and said hello to our dear friend Bre (: germany is gorgeous...

little radley just loves to run right beside us (:
