Anniversary!

Believe it or not, Suzanne and Trent have been married for over a year now! We're only a month late in posting it. For our anniversary, we took a day and a half off of work and went down to Trent's parent's condo in California. And since our puppies have yet to learn this whole "being nice to other people" thing, we took them with us. At least that was our excuse. We left Friday mid-day for the 10-hour drive down to SoCal. It turned into an 11-hour drive though thanks to potty breaks for the dogs and an In-N-Out Burger stop in St. George. Sketcher started threatening to attack us if we didn't let him out of the car as you can see in the picture. The drive was fairly uneventful and we made it there safely. We had a pretty lazy weekend down there, but the weather was gorgeous. Mid-70's in January is always a welcome vacation from shoveling snow and bundling up. One day while Suzanne was taking a nap, Trent organized a little surprise for her. The first anniversary is traditionally the 'paper' anniversary. So Trent wrote 'I Love You' on 366 post-it notes and posted them all over the condo while Suzanne was asleep. There is one post-it note for each day we we're married. We got married on a leap year, so yes Trent can count and isn't crazy. Battling hand cramps, he was able to get them all up before Suzanne woke up.

For the last day in California, we took the dogs down to the beach for their first experience in water outside of a bathtub or kiddie pool.

All in all it was a lot of fun, but the weekend was too short. Next anniversary I think a whole week off work is in order. ;)

Until next time...
