Soooo, Jon and I have been married for a whole entire year as of May 28th! All I can say is where has the time gone! I still remember being so nervous the night before we were sealed in the temple, the amazing reception that my mom and other loved ones decorated for me, and Jon stuffing cake in my face and up my nostrils. It feels like it was all just yesterday that all this stuff happened. But alas, it has been a year and a wonderful year it has been!
I have been taking lessons from my husband how to toughen up and become a cowboys wife, and he has been learning how to deal with a more sensitive female figure than he has had to deal with in his life. It has been an adventure both trying to become tougher or more sensitive to each others needs, but through all the bumps in the road, we have been able to lay down some pretty great memories.
As you have read in previous posts, we have been living in an apartment which we hate because of the crazy neighbors we have been surrounded by, but as of May 15th we were able to move to another place. So May 26th we moved out and into a new apartment which was the best anniversary present I think we could have given each other. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this place so much more and we could not be happier. So a new place to live in our 2nd year of marriage is amazing!
Since Jon had work off and I had school off (memorial day) on our anniversary we took advantage of that and left terrible Tucson and headed to St. David to enjoy a nice ride out in the country side away from people and other obligations. It was very enjoyable to just be out there riding right alongside Jon having an enjoyable conversation as our horses did all the hard work for us. We rode an hour down the river (dried up at this time of year) and stopped to enjoy a little picnic together. After, we rode back to unsaddle our horses and head back to Tucson so that we could get ready to go to dinner.
Jon and I had a deal that since we went out and did the activity he wanted to do that day for our anniversary, I got to choose where we ate that night for dinner. So I decided I was in the mood for Olive Garden. Their bread sticks and amazing salad was calling my name!
Isn't it calling your name now? :) They have the most amazing Salad and bread sticks there and I wish I could go there and only eat that instead of having to order a meal also. It was funny though as we were sitting there trying to have a conversation. Jon had hurt his eardrum earlier during our ride by firing off his gun a couple times without ear plugs so during dinner I would be trying to talk to him, but he would often times not hear me because of the ringing he heard. I gave him a very hard time about ignoring me while we were eating just to tease him and make him feel a little guilty, but it was all fun and games.
We then ended our night by going to Barns and Nobles to buy a movie that we both liked and we went home and watched it. We originally went there for Tangled, but we found a couple of other ones (3 others) that all together cost as much as what Tangled would be alone. We settled on watching Robin Hood and settled in for the night. All in all it was a great day of celebration. Thank you Jon for an amazing year of marriage! I love you.
