YEAR ONE

Although it doesn't seem that it's already been 365 days....

Dallin and I celebrated our first anniversary on Sunday!! What a wonderful year we have had!! I can't wait for the next year.. and eternity after that! :)

Dallin planned out the weekend celebration... but kept it a secret from me! haha.

Here's how the last few days went down.
Wednesday night Dallin kicked me out of the house for a few hours so he could go shopping and do any other preparations that needed to be done for the weekend.
Thursday morning Dallin went to work at 8am, and a few minutes later I got a call asking me to go see if he had left something on the table. I get out to the table (meanwhile Dallin has hung-up the phone) and see that his computer is sitting on the table with some random little bowls with stuff in them...


after watching the slideshow, I learned that the bowls with stuff on them were the things needed to give myself a little spa treatment, and make myself a delicious smoothie.

After relaxing and getting the royal treatment, I was instructed to pack our bags and the food that Dallin had made the night before to get ready for a road trip!! The powerpoint informed me of what we would be doing the weekend.... and that we were leaving at 3pm. It couldn't come fast enough!!

After the quick drive home, we stopped to see Lori, Darran and the girls, ate dinner with my family, and partied all night (with the family and Jessica and Chelsea.) We played some fun games, and talked A LOT! The perfect way to start off the perfect weekend.

Friday morning we woke-up, babysat Eliza and Talia, went and did some sealings at the temple,

spent some more time with family, and then drove to the Cameo Heights Mansion

(This is where Dallin and I spent out first night together... Dallin even reserved the same room.)

We were at the mansion from Friday until Sunday morning, and loved every minute of it. We spent time in the hot tub, drank hot chocolate and made s'mores (with the pre-made packages they provided,)

watched a few movies while eating popcorn,

went swimming and tanned by the pool, walked through the apple and cherry orchards (while sampling a few cherries,)

played the grand piano, ate lots of delicious food,

and even spent some time with Chris and Stephanie Baer.... who coincidentally were right across the hall from us also celebrating their anniversary! We got married on the same day, why not have the same anniversary celebration!? haha! It was fun to eat lunch and breakfast with them and run into them around the mansion.

Way to go Dallin for planning such a wonderful vacation and for keeping it secret the whole time! I love you!!!
