a wonderful weekend

This Friday, Jared and I took a trip over to Houston to celebrate our one year anniversary.  Our first stop was the Houston Temple.  We were able to attend a session and then walk around and take some pictures.  It was a gorgeous afternoon :D

 

Later that evening, Jared took me to downtown Houston and surprised me with a wonderful dinner :D  This place was amazing.  There was a huge fish tank in the middle of the restaurant - about ten trucks all parked next to each other.

After dinner we walked around the aquarium for a discounted price because we ate dinner there :D

Below are some of the activities we did.

Jared being silly . . . thinking he's a captain

Kissing fish :D

Those are stingrays . . . We both touched one.

 Our ride through the aquarium and shark tank!

Saturday was another wonderful adventure.  Jared took me to the Nasa Space Center :D

We saw mission control (sorry the picture is dark) and to see rockets.

I know, lots of stuff this last weekend, BUT our last stop on the way home was a gas station called Buc-ee's, it's HUGE.  It's practically a grocery store, so naturally we had to take a picture with the beaver out front - if you couldn't tell, Jared is mimicking the beaver :D

best year ever

This last Sunday, the 24th, Jared and I celebrated one year of marriage.  Best year ever with this man.

I woke him up and told him he was going to go on a scavenger hunt :)

Before he got started, he made me a wonderful french toast and sausage breakfast.  YUMMY

I wrote quotes on each gift and he had to follow the clues to find the next one.  I ALSO made him wait to unwrap each present until the sticky note with a time on it said he could open it (every two hours for the whole day - from 8am to 9pm).  Needless to say, this man was anxious.

Here's some of the pictures of his presents.

       

It was such a fun day watching his facial expressions each time he opened another present.

BEST YEAR EVER, and we can't wait for the years to come.
