1!

1 year ago we were here.

Yesterday was our anniversary. David got me these flowers. Then we went to The Melting Pot. It was very fun.

Year of milestones:

• Graduation
• Real Jobs
• Move cities (although not states and only an hour away so I'm not sure if it really counts)
• Bought a house
• Worked on the house (paint, back splash(see the other blog) gaining some furniture etc.)
• Hosted Thanksgiving
• Got a dog
• Garden!

Year of travel:

• Moab 3x (honeymoon, raft for the cure, 4th of July)
• Denver 2x (reception, new years)
• Michigan (reception)
• Chicago (honeymoon)
• Boston (lovely roommates wedding)
• Disneyland/LA (valentines/for fun)
• Hawaii (2nd honeymoon/fun)
  

We had a lovely year together. We really haven't had too much to complain about. We still get along great. We still are very much in love and are just loving our life together.

In the plans for next year (really there's not many more major milestones for us to accomplish, at least not for many years so we're just focusing on some small things):

• Put in hardwood and tile on our main level
• Finish the basement
• Spice up the bathrooms with some paint.

Travel plans:

• St. Louis tomorrow (for an awesome former roommates wedding)
• Denver (in a few weeks)
• Michigan (holidays)
• Sacramento/redwoods (not sure when. we'll just make a long weekend of it. I've been dying to see the redwoods for some time now so we'll make it happen this year.)
• Europe (perhaps, we'll see what deals we find)
• Moab (probably. it wouldn't be a summer if we didn't go.)
• Zion's (if we can fit it in)

And I'm sure we'll find ways to have much fun no matter what we do.

I'm starting a new blog. I'll still update this occasionally and let you know what's going on in our lives but i just felt the need to help myself feel motivated to work on some talents of mine. Feel free to follow me if you want if not no worries. http://sarah-ladomestica.blogspot.com/

Recently...

We have been enjoying a beautiful warm spring. This past weekend it has be 70+ degrees and we have used it to work in our garden. We planted our tomatoes and pepper plants. I read up a little on gardening and it said to plant tomatoes and peppers about 2 weeks before the last frost date so we're trying it out. Hopefully it works out well.

Our raspberry plants aren't dead!!!

Baby shower throwing. Very successful.

Playing with the cute puppy.

Enjoying flowers we didn't know we had. Tulips :)

Mustache March...

Every year at David's work they do what they call mustache march. Who ever wants to participate grows their beard out for the whole month, or longer (one guy grew his out the whole year) in preparation. Then the last day of the month they shave it into a weird, creepy, hilarious mustache. They have different categories and there are prizes for the best/creepiest/most original mustaches. David participated.

David shaved his beard into this.

It was pretty cool. He didn't win any prizes but he got some compliments and had a fun lunch hour with the rest of the mustache men.


And we got a winter storm a couple days ago. It was nice.
