Yellowstone

One year ago, last Sunday, was David and my one year anniversary. We decided to wait until the following weekend to celebrate by going to Yellowstone! We have been looking forward to this trip for a long time. However, this week David has been battling some sort of food poising issue-throwing up and all that good stuff. We tried to cancel our hotel reservation but we had gotten some sort of online deal that was non-refundable…go figure. So Friday, when I got home from work we set out on our adventure determined to have a good time despite David being sick. When we got to West Yellowstone it was covered in snow! Basically the whole town was closed down….we had found a great restaurant online to eat at but when we got there, it too was closed. The only non-fast food restaurant that was open was basically a glorified Denny’s type place. Needless to say it wasn’t our first choice but that’s alright.


Saturday morning we drove into Yellowstone and had a great time! We saw lots of buffalo and some elk. We were also able to see Old Faithful and some of the stinky springs. Even though there was snow covering the park, it was beautiful. We had a great time driving through it! The best part was we happened to be there during National Park Week so we got in for free! So even with David being sick we still had some fun in Yellowstone!

This year has gone by so fast and I am so lucky to be married to such an amazing guy! I look forward to celebrating many more anniversaries…hopefully without one of us being sick :)

Graduation

This past weekend David finished his final semester of his undergrad and graduated! He transferred to BYUI with 30 credits and was able to finish in only 5 semesters! Way to go! He has been taking on average 18-21 credits so it’s been quite the workload but he did it; with straight A’s this semester too!

David’s parents, along with his older brother and sister came up from sunny San Diego to frigid Rexburg to celebrate. It was great that they were able to make it! We had lots of fun hanging out, touring campus and of course eating great food!

Our one year anniversary was this weekend as well, on the tenth. It was a pretty busy weekend. David and I are planning on going to Yellowstone this coming weekend to celebrate. However I did make a VERY delicious dinner of chicken cordon bleu, garlic and rosemary mashed potatoes, and steamed broccoli. Yummy.

The plans for us now are to finally leave this place next week! I’m so excited! I put my notice in at work and my last day is next Thursday. My parents are going to tow a trailer for us to Spokane, Washington…where we might be spending the next three years of our life while David attends law school. We still haven’t decided if we are going there for sure yet . After we move our things to Spokane, we will head to Portland for a week to spend some time with my family and then continue down to San Diego. David was offered a great job there for the summer. We are so excited for the coming months and the unknowns of law school :)

Birthday Fun

This year David planned an amazing activity for me! He took me to see baby bears! I was able to hold one and pet the other. Needless to say I was soooooooooooo excited! I can’t even explain how ecstatic I was! I'm  sucker for baby animals :)


After the baby bear excursion we went shopping! I received some great Old Navy gift cards from family and had a very enjoyable shopping spree. David and I also saw the movie the Adjustment Bureau-which we really enjoyed and recommend. After the movie we had a delicious dinner at Carino’s Italian Restaurant. So yummy!

Overall I don’t know what could make me happier on my birthday than a baby bear, shopping and great food. Thanks for a great birthday David!
