Well that is really all I can think of for now. Most of the real exciting things happened to other people, but since we know them, it counts!
Here is just some fun pics of what we did throughout the year.
Here is our official First Anniversary picture. We had a great relaxing weekend in Salt Lake. We took Friday off and had a whole day date. We went out to dinner and movies and just had a great time.
Here is my handsome husband. He is just way too cute!!
Yes it still fits!! I love my wedding dress, and this is the only time that I felt it okay to put it back on. I love it so much more, I missed my dress. Please ignore my hair, I am claiming a shadow that makes the big poofy-ness...I swear.
This is us at the zoo. We went to Hoggle zoo with Brenton's parents back in June. I haven't been to a zoo since I was a wee little kid, so this was very fun.
Okay so the Hoggle zoo borrowed a white alligator from New Orleans. No it is not an albino alligator, it is a white alligator which means that it has color in it's eyes, but his skin is white. Apparently, some researcher found a nest of 18 white alligator babies, and since their skin will get very sunburned and they standout really bad, the researchers put them in zoos. It was cool, but sad. This poor guy didn't have much room to play in, he just sat in his little pool of water while everyone starred at him. :(
Ahh the Brenton man and Giraffes. So this pic makes it look like the giraffe is coming out of his head, but fear not, it's just my poor camera skills. These guys were so cool. You could go into a building and on the second floor and be eye to eye with them. One of them got real close and a guy was able to touch it!!
Here is me at the temple with the in laws. Brenton's little sister Kaitlan went through the temple for the first time, and this was the first time that I got to go through the Logan Temple. In the back you can see my evil brother in laws suffocating mama Jeana (Brenton's mom). She has a thing with private space and the boys just love teasing her.
Santa Cruz. I know I have already posted it, but it's worth a mention. Our first trip to the beach for the year. Well actually, so far it's the only trip to the beach.
Whale watching. My poor nephew in the back was SO seasick. I think by this time, he had snapped out of it, but we were already headed back to the dock. He is so cute with his little turtleneck.
So this what happens when you get too eager to see the sun. Brenton and I were SO sunburned. We spent about 3 hours out in the sun and Brenton was so kind enough to document this moment for us. It took him about a week to not be red. We learned our lesson!
Everyone can remember our first move as a married couple. We absolutely love our new place. If anyone is moving to the Sandy area, I suggest this apt. They really make their tenants happy. One morning, Brenton and I were driving to work, and right as we pulled out of the complex, two employees were stopping cars and were passing out breakfast to those going to work. They gave us a box of juice, trail mix, and a yogurt. It was so great..so come be our neighbors it's fun!
I realized that Brenton and I don't really take pics together. Here is one of only a few. It's not our best picture, but I figured since I don't have many, I can't be picky. We are at his brother Dallan's B-day party. His brother has since been shipped out to Iraq. He is in the Marines, and so he left early June and he'll be back June of 2008.
Oh look another pic of the cute couple. I think this pic has already been posted too, but it's just too cute. So us being all snuggley up in Monterrey Bay,California.
This was the first trip we took in the beginning of the year. Brenton is the man when it comes to my nieces and nephews. They just love him!!
