4th of July

This year we celebrated the big 4th in California with my family, it was SO much fun! It's our family tradition to go up to our houseboat each year for the fourth. With our family growing it makes it real hard for us ALL to get together at once, so this is one of those times that we can all be together...and what's better than being on the lake? :)

My mom always make everything a good time..she's the most amazing woman I know. & when it comes to the food at the lake, we eat like king's. My mom is always making some sort of amazing smoothie (hers are better than Jamba, they're that good) We'll wake up to breakfast already ready, go out for a morning run on the boat, and come back to lunch already prepared. Seriously, she makes it the ultimate. She never ceases the fail with her amazingness.

The lake puts on a firework show each year which is so fun to watch from the boat. This year because the 4th fell on a Wednesday they did the fireworks a day early and it wasn't as crowed as normal, which was kind of nice.

This was on our boat ride over to the other side of the lake to watch the fireworks. It was so gorgeous outside.

It was a great time, sad that it went by so fast. While we were there we made a trip up to Yosemite, it was Greg's first time, so I'll post about that one later!

The Lucky One...

Just a few weeks ago Greg and I celebrated our ONE year anniversary! I cannot believe how quick time flies, it feels like just yesterday we were walking out of those temple doors. I can honestly say, I am THE luckiest girl in the world. I can't believe how blessed I am to have the most amazing man in my life, for eternity. I look back on this past year and it's filled with SO many great memories. We've moved three different times since we've been married...crazy, there is definitely never a dull moment with us. :) He is my best friend, he knows me better than I know myself sometimes. I love that I fall in love with him more and more each day. He treats me like a princess, he is the absolute sweetest to me, and I know he is going to be the best dad ever! It's such a great feeling knowing you always have someone right by your side, no matter what. I couldn't have found someone more perfect for me. This year we have been blessed to be able to travel, a TON. We've had some pretty amazing trips! For our anniversary he took me to Vegas and we stayed in the Venetian. SO fun! I've been to Vegas many times, but this took the cake! First of all, the hotel was gorgeous, we got to see the Phantom of the Opera..which truly was amazing. I can't describe how awesome it was, the detail was unbelieveable.

We ate LOTS of yummy food, at all of our favorite spots :)

did a TON of walking, which is expected..and great for burning off all those calories. ;) We got a couples massage, wow, let's just say when the hour was up we both were wanting more...nothing better than a good massage. We loved walking through all the hotels, it's so fun to see how the decorations change at the different times of year.

And of course, we did some shopping. He's such a trooper. We've had the best year and I'm so excited for the many years to come. It only gets better with him. Love you so much babe!
