All sorts of celebrations have been happening around the Zottola household lately! Jimmy and I had our anniversary, I turned 25-years-old, and we had a Father’s Day cookout.
Our anniversary and my birthday (yeah, we were married on my birthday!) fell on a Wednesday this year. My dad took me out to lunch at Osaka, which is a Sushi and Chinese restaurant. It was our first time there, and we throughly enjoyed it! What I loved the most, though, was sharing a meal with my dad 🙂
I’m pretty sure we’re the only ones in our family who like sashimi and sushi, so we always enjoy chowing on some raw fish together!
On Friday, Jimmy and I took the day off work and celebrated our anniversary! I had to pet sit, but we made the best of it and took one of the dogs out on a trail walk with us in the morning. Then we got coffee at Dunkin Donuts, shopped for my anniversary gift from Jimmy, and enjoyed lunch at Cracker Barrel!
The trail was so peaceful first thing in the morning!
Jimmy was so sweet and thoughtful with my anniversary gift. He told me to pick out a bistro table for our front porch! I had been wanting a little bistro set for a long time, and I thought it was so nice that Jimmy remembered that and let me pick it out!
We bought the table from Lowe’s, and the chairs from Target. We had dinner on the bistro set that evening, and I had coffee and read my Bible on it the next morning. I love it! Thank you, Jimmy! And in case anyone was wondering, I bought him the PlayStation 4 gaming console for his gift, haha.
The book on top of the pile is this one, the second one is Cherish by Gary Thomas, the third is my journal, and the fourth is my Bible!
On Saturday evening, we had our families over to celebrate Father’s Day. We grilled shish kebabs, lit sparklers, and celebrated our dads. Their gift? Us kids are taking them go karting soon!
So, yeah, lots of fun celebrations lately! Reflecting on all of them makes me feel so happy, blessed, and loved. I’m beyond thankful for the people God has placed in my life and the fact that I get to celebrate with them!
Living My Full Life 
My dad and I ate at that exact booth at Osaka a few weeks ago. Small world, Pittsburgh 🙂
That’s so funny!! It’s a great city to be in, isn’t it?!
So much fun! I absolutely love celebrating with family. 🙂
And that table is adorable!! We have a little table on our back porch, and it’s my favorite spot to eat breakfast at in the summer.
You inspired me to eat breakfast outside last summer because I think you had mentioned it before and now it’s one of my favorite things to do!
Happy celebration month! Looks like you’ve been having a blast. That little table is awesome. Great find!
Thank you, Amy! I’m so obsessed with the table 🙂
So sweet Allie, I had a blast, enjoyed our time together, thank you!
Dad

Thank you so much for coming over and bringing the Sunday paper! Love you!
I also spent some of the weekend with my dad. He came to my race, then we went out for brunch and then I got him fitted for running shoes. It made me realize how much he means to me and how much he loves me. It was great 🙂
Ahhh I love that, Ellie! Makes me so happy!
So much celebration! I love it. Happy EVERYTHING to you all.
Awww, thank you!!
How cool that your anniversary and birthday are on the same day! Talk about an extra special celebration every year 😉
I love that bistro table– What a great choice! We are in need of furniture for our patio, but are waiting to redo the flooring before we pick anything out.
It is such a special day! I love it!
I can’t wait to see what you two pick out for flooring and furniture! I know it’s going to be awesome 🙂
Happy anniversary, birthday, father’s day, everything! Haha! Love love love the celebratory post of your recent celebrations!!!
Thank you so much, P!!
So many happy celebrations!! I love this! Such a cute bistro table! I love that pattern! And girl, sushi for the win! I am excited to eat some spicy tuna after this baby arrives. 🙂
Aww I can’t wait to hear that you got your spicy tuna sushi fix once Baby Girl is here!!! Soon 🙂
