Last Thursday June 26th was Dan and mine 1 year anniversary. I took the day off of work that day and Dan was able to take half a day off. That morning as we were getting ready for the day we were listening to 97.1 (we always listen to that station) and as they were talking they gave a little “shout out” to Dan and I for our anniversary. That was fun little surprise that Dan set up because he knew I would be listening to that station and instead of just saying happy anniversary, he did it that way so it would be different and fun. He also gave me a bouquet of my favorite flowers… star lilies!!!
Once he got off work we had lunch, went shopping, and then went and checked in at the Anniversary Inn. It was amazing. They first asked us what time we wanted breakfast brought to our room and what we would like to drink with our breakfast – we didn’t even know we were going to be getting breakfast haha so that was a nice surprise. Then we went up to the room to drop our luggage off and it was AWESOME! We were staying in the Treasure Island room – so it had a pirate theme. I wish so badly that I would have taken pictures, but it looked like the deck of a ship and there was a huge jetted tub in the middle of the “deck” and they had cheesecake and apple cider waiting for us when we got there. It was just really relaxing and romantic. After we dropped off our luggage we went to dinner at the olive garden and then went to the art festival and spent a few hours there before going back to the hotel. The next Morning we woke up and had breakfast, packed up, and went to Temple Square and took some pictures. My goal ever since we got married is to take a picture on or right around June 26th by the temple to show how our lives progress each year.
So we took some pictures, walked around for a little bit, and then headed to Lagoon. We got to Lagoon at about 12:30 – 1:00 and spent the rest of the day there. Dan’s family was also there because it was his dads work Lagoon Day and that is how we got the tickets so cheap. It was fun to go on rides with them and hang out with them. At the end of the night Dan played the game spill the milk. He won a small prize and I was excited… but then I saw this huge bear hanging from the roof and I asked what it would take to get one of those and the operator told us that you had to win 4 small prizes to get a big prize. Now we were already half way there because Dan had won one and his brother Ryan had also won one and he didn’t want it so he gave it to us. So in order to win you have to knock over all 5 of the heavy metal bottles, but not just knock over, but knock completely off the table. It’s actually really hard. We watched so many people spend so much money trying to do it – but when Dan heard that I wanted the bear he gave the guy another dollar, got another 3 balls and knocked them all off 2 more times and I got the bear!
Luckily we did that at the very end of the night because it is big and I don’t think I would have been able to carry that around all day. Haha. Well a little while ago Dan got me a brand new set of golf clubs so we could go golfing tougher – so on Saturday we went and hit a bucket of balls at River Oaks.
It’s a really nice set of clubs as you can see, and its really cute... the bag even has flowers on it!!! But at first I was kind of bugged that he got them for me because I have never golfed and have never been into it even though I worked at a golf store for 2 and a half years haha but it is actually so much fun! It is nice to be outside in a beautiful environment with Dan and just have fun. Then later on Saturday we went to Liberty Park with the entire Koch family to have a party. It was such a fun weekend and it was so fun on the 26th to remember the feelings that we had one year ago the same day as we were in the Temple getting sealed to each other for time and eternity.
I love him so much and love learning more about him every day. Being married is such a blessing and it has been absolutely wonderful and we are so excited to continue our lives together. Thanks for an amazing anniversary honey – I love you!
