We spent our anniversary in California, one of my very favorite places! Saturday the 3rd, our actual anniversary, we left for Cali around 2pm. We exchanged gifts, I got him NCAA Football '09 for the Wii and he got me a book of thoughts/stories from Time Out For Women and Mamma Mia on DVD. (He hated it, but I love it just because I grew up on ABBA songs!) We loaded up the car and then Todd surprised me with this Tiffany ring! (Click the link to see a picture, I tried to put one on here but it kept getting blurry.) I had been wanting it for awhile and we had been saving up extra change to buy it but then he surprised me! Thats why I love him. We arrived in Cali around 7 and went to Lucille's BBQ to get some take-out. This is the place where we had our wedding dinner after we were married, so its sort of tradition. That night we ate our wedding cake and had sparkling cider.
The cake was surprisingly still good even after it had been frozen a year! Sunday we went to church, took naps, and then went to Todd's aunt and uncles for dinner. Monday we got ready and headed for Disneyland!
Since it wasn't crowded the lines were really short and we decided to go on Splash Mountain first. I was fine with that since I never ever get wet on that ride anyways. So, I sit in front and what happens?

As you can see in the pictures, I am dry from my knee down, and the whole back of me is wet also. I didn't get fully dry either so I was wet/damp for most of the day. 
After that we went to get Gumbo, if you haven't tried it there you should, its super good. While we were standing in line Todd went over to the Blue Bayou Restaurant, the one inside Pirates of the Carribbean, to see if they had any open reservations. They didn't have any for Monday but Todd made one for Tuesday at 4. We went over to California Adventures for a couple rides and then headed home since we were going back the next day. Tuesday we went to the San Diego Temple! It was BEAUTIFUL! Afterwards we met Todd's Nana for lunch at Chili's and then headed back to change to go to our reservation.
We got there and let me tell you all incase you want to go, it is EXPENSIVE! I want to go at lunch sometime to see if its cheaper, because everything on the menu for dinner is like $25+. We got a steak and split it and it was super good. Our waiter was nice and took this picture for us, I love it!
Afterwards we rode some rides at Disneyland till the park closed at 8 and then headed back to the beach house where we were staying. Wednesday we slept in, packed up and headed home. We had such a fun time and were so lucky to get the time off to spend with each other. I can't believe we have been married for a whole year...time flies. P.S Congrats to my sister Liz who just got engaged to her boyfriend, Ryan, and will be married March 6th! We love you guys!
