One Year Anniversary

Last week, we celebrated our first year anniversary.  Jared did a phenomenal job at planning such a fun weekend!  Here are some of the highlights: 

We drove to Salt Lake and ate dinner at the Red Iguana.  We had been there once before and it was amazing so we went again.  They have live musicians there who sang us a love song in Spanish (so we had no idea what the song was really about). 

We checked into our hotel room at the Anniversary Inn.  Where to start with the hotel... well, their mission statement is, "The Anniversary Inn exists to provide a place where couples can escape from the pressures of everyday life and share in a time of peace and relaxation together thereby creating positive memories which will strengthen their relationship."  They sure do that!  Each room has a theme.  We ended up staying in the "Phantom of the Opera Room."  It was gorgeous! 

Look at all the decorations!  It had a huge jetted tub, and so many fun decorations!  I loved just looking around the room and seeing all the references to the "Phantom."    

When we walked into our room, we found two pieces of cheesecake, a bottle of sparkling cider, and chocolates.  (All that was included in the price!)  So fun to walk into such a treat!

 The next morning, our room service breakfast was delivered right when we had asked for it.  (Yes, this was included in the price too!)  The food was delicious and it was so fun to have breakfast in bed!  Everyone needs to experience that once in their lives!

 When it was time to check out, we were able to walk through all the other rooms in the hotel (they have themes such as Jungle Safari, Venice, Wild West, Sailor Ships, etc.).  It was so fun to see all the other rooms too!   We had an absolute blast!  What a neat little place here in Utah!  I am so glad that Jared spoiled me and took me here for a night!  I loved every minute of it!

That afternoon, we went and did sealings in the Salt Lake Temple at exactly the same time on the very day we were married last year.  It was so neat to be in the temple and be reminded of that special moment last year and be reminded of our own marriage and sealing.  

We went to Blue Lemon for lunch and enjoyed some really tasty food!  It was a perfectly sunny and warm day and I felt like the luckiest girl in the entire world!  I LOVE being with Jared!  Being able to spend a carefree weekend with him was the very best! 

 We enjoyed shopping at City Creek Mall that evening.  It is such a pretty mall with many fun stores.  Even Jared said it was the best mall he has been to and that it was fun (and he doesn't even like shopping). 

  He planned the entire weekend for us and he was so thoughtful!  He planned things that I really enjoy doing!  I loved all of it and I want to go back and repeat the entire weekend over and over again.  I am so blessed to have married such and kind and fun and wonderful man!  I am so blessed to have married into an amazing family!  I can hardly believe its already been a year!  Time has flown by so quickly!  And with how fast it seems to be going, I am so thankful that I married him in the temple for time and all eternity so that I can be with him forever.
