1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

I totally forgot to post about our 1 year anniversary in my last blog but that's ok because this one deserves its very own post. Sam just LOVES being sneaky and surprising me! While I hate the suspense I really do love the surprise at the end. So around February I asked him what he wanted to do for our anniversary that was coming up and he wouldn't give me a straight answer for like a week and when he answered he said, "How about I get to plan everything?" and that was that. I was left wondering for 3 months about what he was planning. The suspense almost killed me! I'd ask him what we were doing and he'd just say, "You don't really want to ruin the surprise do you?" and I'd shut up. On May 8th we left Cedar for "some where". He kept saying weird things to try and throw me off the trail. We headed in a northerly direction on I-15 and then we ended up in Midway which was our favorite place on our honeymoon. I figured out we were heading to Midway once we got to Provo Canyon but I didn't know where we were staying because we'd stayed in two different places while we were there. We stopped by the Zermatt Hotel and he pointed to stuff and such and said "What number is that one?" and I told him and he said, "Cool, we're not staying there."! He was dragging it out as long as possible! We finally pulled up to a condo at Zermatt and the garage opened. We pulled in and walked in. There were eggs cooking on the stove and I was thinking, "We just walked into someone else's house!" then Ry and Em jumped out of a closet!! They were there to surprise me! They totally helped Sam plan the whole thing. Em's parents own the condo and she let us stay there for the weekend! It was SO fun! We hung out with them till like 2 am then we all went to bed. We got up the next morning and had a leisurely morning then we headed to Park City to see X-Men Origins: Wolverine! SO good! After that Ry and Em headed to Idaho to visit family and we had the rest of the weekend to ourselves. We walked Main St. in Park City and went into different shops. This saddle was AMAZING! My father in law wants to make a saddle like this in the near future. Check out all the details in the leather and silver! I don't remember how much they said it was worth but it was many thousands of dollars!

Our favorite gallery by far is this one. I don't remember what its called but we went to it on our honeymoon and loved to so we were determined to find it again and we did. We BADLY want one of these brass frogs. They are way heavy and WAY expensive but they are GORGEOUS and have so much personality. The big frog was $7500 and the little ones were several hundered each. The giant octopus (which we also want REALLY bad) was thousands as well. They are just all so gorgeous! The guy tried to get Sam to buy me one but we just don't have the money right now. Maybe next year. :)

That night we went to Teriyaki Grill which is kind of like Panda in the sense that its fast but its Japanese food. SO yummy! Then we went back to the condo and relaxed and watched tv. The next day we got up and drove around Heber. We went to some shops and found a painting that we found on our honeymoon that looks just like me! We had lunch at an authentic Mexican restaurant that was awesome! Went back to Park City that day and Sam took me on a shopping spree as his gift to me! We went bowling in Heber just like we did on our honeymoon and I actually beat Sam!! That's the first time that's ever happened. We were the only people bowling. So fun!

He had Ry and Em get Kung Fu Panda for him so he could give it to me when we got up there but they gave it to us as their gift for our anniversary so he had to think of something else. Haha. I got him and I a couple's massage since he'd never had one. We got it done a week after we got back. Any ways we went to The Outlets and shopped FOREVER! It was a record for us. He got me new flip flops since mine broke, a new purse since mine was ugly and falling apart. We got him some new shirts, a bunch of kitchen stuff, and other odds and ends. It was great but we were SO ready for dinner when we were done. We went to Cafe Trang for dinner that night. Its an Asian cuisine restaurant. They had Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian and Thai food. Sam and I are kind of obsessed with Asian food. It was DELISH! We got gelato at Zermatt that was divine on our honeymoon but just ok on our anniversary. We left on the 10th (the actual day of our anniversary) and stopped by his parent's house to wish his mom a Happy Mother's Day and we had dinner with them. On the drive back to Cedar I called my mom and talked to both my grandmas. It was a wonderful, wonderful weekend. I loved every second of it! Thanks honey for a wonderful anniversary! One year down, eternity to go!
