2 Year Anniversary & A Long Overdue Vacation

The 2011-2012 school year ended Friday, June 15 the for me--and then my husband and I were off on a week-long adventure that we so desperately needed. We haven't had a vacation in years--not since 2009 when I graduated with my BA, lol. Plus, we were celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary and 10 years together. It was wonderful!! Here are just a few photos of our adventure (ignore the grainy-ness from taking photos with my cheap cell phone...my camera died 2 days into the trip):

Scrapbooking our adventure...

Baby Black Bears...so cute!

Ready for the day...

Ready to head to Silverton, CO on the train

Again, please ignore the grainy-ness...they look awesome small :)

Anyway, things are looking up for the two of us--just getting ready to dive back into school and prep for my internship coming up in September.

Hope you are all enjoying your summer and staying cool!

More posts and updates coming soon. I plan to update a few things around here beore September!

1 Year Anniversary

Yucca Valley High School Prom 2004...Cory graduated in 2003 and so we went to my Prom. This photo is horrible, lol. My braces & Farmer's tan & his long hair and wannabe mustache!

(17 & 18 years old)

The really bad photo that we paid for at prom....cracks me up.

I was 19 & Cory was 20 years old.

I was in college in San Bernardino and would come home on the weekends to spend time with Cory.

( I was 21 & Cory was 22)

Our Wedding Day, June 26, 2010

(I was 23 & Cory was 24 years old)

I can't believe it's been a year since we were married. Sunday was our anniversary. We had planned on taking our actual honeymoon this year for our one year anniversary but it turns out we both have to pay dumb traffic fines around the same time so our money is being spent elsewhere :(

Figures.

Instead, we went out to dinner Saturday night to Cory's favorite place in town: The Kimi Grill & Sushi Bar. If you have the chance to visit Yucca Valley, CA, I highly suggest dinner at this wonderful place!

On Sunday, we painted Cory's truck (been wanting to do this for a while), cleaned up and headed down the lower desert...uhm, Rancho Mirage I believe...to try out the Hibachi Grill. We hadn't been here before and we have heard such great things about it. I'm sorry I didn't snap any photos. I felt a little embarrassed to since we had to share a chef & table with strangers. It was so neat though! Then we headed to the Ford dealership to look at cars since I have to buy a new car in the next couple of months. Mine has waaaaay toooo many miles on it and I'll be commuting in the fall to school twice a week.

Although our special weekend didn't go as planned, we have high hopes for next year and possibly this coming winter. As long as nothing unfortunate arises and takes all of our money from us.

Those of you who are married, what did you do or are planning to do for your first year anniversary?

I forgot to tell you!

(sorry so blurry, we couldn't stop laughing!)

When we got home from our wedding, we stuck the top of our cake in the freezer to eat on our first anni.

Let me tell you! Never has spice cake ever tasted so delicious!! It was heavenly!
