Our First Anniversary

Wow.  What a fun anniversary!!! Yesterday we celebrated our first year of marriage together!  We had originally planned on just going to dinner but Trey had a few surprises up his sleeve!  He had to work though, and we got a late start due to some complications he had getting off work. First, we went to Benihana's for dinner.  I had never been there before so it was fun!                                                                                            We had an 8:00 reservation but didn't sit down until around 8:30! It was pretty busy so I'm glad we got a reservation!  The food was really good!  I ordered Colossal Shrimp and Trey got the Teriyaki Chicken and we shared.  The meal came with steamed rice, salad, soup, and a shrimp appetizer.  I also ordered a side of chicken fried rice, which was amazing.  It was really hot in there though, especially being 8 months pregnant haha!  It was a really really nice dinner.  

                         

                         
                                         

After dinner we went back to the car and Trey blind folded me!  He had let me know he had planned a surprise and that we would be going "river rafting!"  We got to our destination and he helped me out of the car and told me to carry a few things, then guided me up some stairs and into a building, then down some stairs and he unlocked a door.  Then he turned on our wedding song :) and told me to take off my blindfold.  When I opened my eyes we were in a river themed room!!! He got the Mississippi Serenade room at the Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake.  It was beautiful! I was so surprised.  On the bed was a poster he made me compiled of 365 pictures representing our first year of marriage. He wrote me such a sweet letter to go along with it.  It was so heartfelt and beautiful.  He put so much thought into it :)  It was so sweet.  He also got me a box of cupcakes  from The Sweet Tooth Fairy! My favorite cupcakes in the world. It was funny because when he went to check in and drop everything off at the room he dropped the cupcakes! They were a little smashed but still soooo good! Then he opened my surprise for him.  I made him a little scrapbook of the top 10 reason why I love him.  I made it so he can have pictures to look at while I am in California, and so he can read all the reasons why he means the world to me.  I also made an anniversary box for him :)  I filled it with sparkling cider, gushers (he loves gushers), chocolate covered strawberries, and a few other little treats.  I was embarrassed because the chocolate covered strawberries were so ugly!!!!  The chocolate would NOT stick to the strawberries.  They were a mess.  But Trey still liked them :)  It was funny.  Trey had to work today, so he ordered breakfast to be delivered at 7 this morning.  It was nice to have breakfast in bed together and it was a yummy yummy breakfast!

We had such a nice evening together.  It really was so perfect.  I am so in love with my husband!  He is everything I ever dreamed about and more!  I love that everyday is even better than the first.  I feel like we just fall even more in love everyday.  Of course we have difficult times, but we always work through them and we are always there for each other.  This past year has been the best of my life.  People always told us the first year is the hardest, and if that is the case I am not worried about the future at all!!!  We had such a great first year.  We experience newly wed life in our apartment in St. George, we went on an adventure to Kansas where Trey worked his guts out and we found out we were expecting our baby boy!  We moved to Salt Lake and Trey has been blessed with great work and now we are on to our next adventure of having a baby and Trey working a great new job.  The next month is going to be hard being away from Trey, but hopefully it will go by fast!  AND THEN Kohen will be here! And then we will move into our own apartment and start the new chapter of our life together :)  I'm so looking forward to many many many more anniversaries to come. I am so thankful God put Trey in my life :) I'm so thankful I will be with him and Kohen forever!  I couldn't imagine it any other way :)
