Family Vacation in Arizona

So, I don't know about any of ya'll but Todd and myself were in desperate need of vacation. And, that is exactly what we did this past weekend. We spend hours in the sun, soaking up the sun in ARIZONA!! Every year, Todd's family goes on a yearly trip and this year we went to hot Arizona. We had a great time and Todd planned the whole trip for us all. What a man he is!! We are sad to be back to reality but we loved seeing our family!! Here are some pictures from our memorable vacation...

Happy One Year Anniversary to Us!!

It has been a wonderful past year for Todd and me. We have learned quite a bit about each other. Who would have known men and women are so different with thinking, emotions, decision making, etc?! It's probably a good thing we are opposite in a lot of ways because we truly complement each other so well. We have loved every minute of our marriage and we look forward to many more memories and happiness. Our anniversary was officially yesterday (May 17th) but we half celebrated it on Saturday evening with dinner. We officially are taking a Las Vegas trip in the beginning of June for the true anniversary celebration and to go one more time before the big move. We went to Vegas on our honeymoon and are excited to be going back a year later...pool, good food, spa trips. Who can beat all of that? Anyways, we went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Park City for dinner on Saturday...melt in your mouth steak, so yummy! That was the wonderful dinner surprise from Todd. He is the absolute best. We had such a great anniversary, besides the part that we both had to speak in church, yep that's right. How ironic is that? Well, here are a few pictures from our dinner at Ruth's Chris.

Baseball anyone?

Todd and I decided to finally go to a baseball game yesterday since it was one of the last home games this season. It was fun but chilly when the sun started going down. I grew up going to baseball games (Atlanta Braves) and it was fun to go with Todd. I have to say though that one of my favorite things about a baseball game is people watching (not in the creepy way). It is so funny to see the different kinds of people that end up at the games...all different sizes, shapes, ages, etc. I try to watch the game but I find that I people watch way more. And to top the night off, I got a big soft pretzel from the concession stand. I probably waited about 30 minutes in line for one and I thought about forgetting about it but I love soft pretzels. It wasn't the best, but it satisfied my craving for one. I have tried a lot of soft pretzels in my day and Sam's club big soft pretzels, hands down, are the best. Baseball, warmer weather, flip-flops...Summer time is just around the corner!

Todd doesn't like this picture but it's the only one we have together. So, good or bad, here it is...
