1 Whole Year Together

One year ago, on June 25, I went on the best camping trip ever; with the most amazing guy ever. Well, actually, the camping trip was almost a disaster, but dang did it turn out good! I was supposed to meet Robby and some of our friends and City of Rocks to go camping, but my GPS totally sent me to the wrong city so I got completely lost for about 2 hours and almost ran out of gas before finding Robby and our friends. I almost gave up and just went back home, but somehow or other, I made it and I'm so glad I did. Because that camping trip would be the beginning of forever.

That night; June 25, 2010; Robby and I were up late talking after everyone else had gone to bed. And whatever spark had been there 3 years ago when we dated the first time was suddenly back. He kissed me that night. My last first kiss. And it. Was. Awesome!!!!
















Hiking on that fateful camping trip

This year, go celebrate, we went backpacking at Elk Bend. The hike was brutal for me. But the view from the top and the hot pools were a great reward.


























































































We actually took our camping trip a week before our actually anniversary date, but the timing was just better. So for the actual day, we had an At-home picnic.

We went and got snow cones, rented a movie, and got a rotisserie chicken from Dan's and had a picnic on our living room floor. It was a fun date.
















Also, we got Bubbles! :)



Now, because of that one camping trip, I am married to my best friend Happily Ever After. I can't believe that we've been together for a whole year and that we've been married for 3 1/2 months. This year has been the best of my life and I can't wait to spend the next billion years with Robby. He is my best friend in the whole wide world and the love of my life.

The End.

Twin Falls

Robby and I went to Twin Falls last weekend to check out where we're going to be living for the next two years or so while Robby gets his RN. I'm gonna love it here.

You have to cross this bridge to get into Twin. It's over this huge ravine and the Snake River. A handful of rich people live in the ravine, it's a really pretty area.






























We also went to the Shonsone Falls. They were beautiful. And with all the rain we've had lately, they were crazy big.

Twin Falls is gonna be so much fun. It has hiking and biking trails, camping just outside of town, rock climbing, and a lake where you can go swimming. It's a smallish town, but has all the stores that I like. It'll be perfect for us. I'm so excited to move there :)

The Decorations

Even before Robby and I got engaged (of course we were seriously talking marriage so I wasn't jumping the gun that much) I started working on the center pieces.

I found the hat boxes at Hobby Lobby and decoupaged napkins onto the hat boxes. I love how they turned out.

And on some of the more plain hat boxes, I glued either buttons or fabric flowers that I also made. I then surrounded the hat boxes with pictures of me and Robby and other little odds and ends. Overall, I loved the country-chic effect.

The atmosphere of the reception was exactly what I wanted. We had it at Wheeler farm and it was just a warm, casual, country kind of feel. There was an awesome fireplace that we used to display more pictures and the presents. Overall, it was just beautiful. And my amazing family and friends put it all together so I didn't have to worry about a thing!

The Food

We had pies!
