On 03.12 we celebrated our 1st Anniversary.
3 Things I love about Daniel
1- He cleans the house and does the laundry!
2- He's thoughtful and caring
3- He's always self improving
12 Memories I want to remember about our first year of marriage
1. Being Sealed for Eternity
2. Going to the Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas
3. Sneaking around a newly built vacant home
4. Flying our kite behind Target
5. Sleeping (Squishing!) in a twin sized bed together (HIS idea) at my Granny's house when there was an extra bed in the room
6. Fishing together for the first time
7. Getting hooked on The Office & The walking Dead
8. Hanging out with his parents when they came to visit, and our adventure of trying to buy a gun
9. Our move to Colorado and sleeping on the floor in our sleeping bags the first night.
10. Driving to Utah for Christmas and listening to Daniel sing Christmas songs in his "special" voice, and being totally freaked out by the people in Wyoming on our way home. A gun was pulled out.... On our side. Protection of course!
11. Trying to avoid the sales associate that would ask us how we were doing or comment on the piece of furniture we were looking at, at Arhaus Furniture every 5 min. No joke!
12. Our visit to Garden of the Gods
I'm so grateful to have Daniel as my partner in crime. He's better then I could have asked for (Most of the time ;) )
The Story: Castle Rock Adventures
Most Sundays we try and get out and go for a drive to see what's around us here in Colorado and go dream house shopping. This past Sunday Daniel and I went for one of these little drives and found ourselves in Castle Rock. It's a quiet, small, open little town. As we came around a bend there it was, THE CASTLE ROCK. We parked our car, got out and followed the trail up to the rock. Daniel was excited to find "bear" poop along our way. So, it wasn't actually bear poop, but I was informed it WAS a predators "doing".

| Sorry for the gross picture... |
We hiked around and around this rock to get to the top... well sort of. You can't get to the very top unless you scale the side. But let me tell you it was frightening, okay okay, not that frightening, but there were (slightly) steep icey parts-I am NOT a fan of ice! Daniel the little explorer he is though, went out to chase an animal noise or something I'm sure... found himself sunken deep into the snow. This is what you get for not staying on the path!
Well we made it as far as we could and walked around and then found a little trail that took us up further on the rock and then it just suddenly ended on a "CLIFF". Daniel easily jumps off and me being the baby I am sat my butt down on the rock and looked over the edge with fright.... I guess I wasn't that adventurous as a child, and didn't have many cliff jumping experiences. I think I sat there for probably 15 minutes trying to motivate myself. People kept coming by and I just wasn't ready to let my pride go and let them see this idiot jump. Daniel kept telling me to just get up and walk back down, but I told him "I'm going to do it, I have to face my fears!!" Daniel hiked back up the trail and gave me a tutorial on how to slide/jump down. Needless to say I faced my fears. Victory was made! I told Daniel we had to take pictures of the victorious jump, but told him to get down to get the right angle to make it look steep. So he kindly did then took another picture saying and "this is reality."

The Story: The Avalanches vs The Penguins
This past weekend we scored tickets to the hockey game for The Avalanches vs. The Penguins. We were on the 9th row, and if any of you know Daniel, this was a dream! In the 3rd period during one of the plays the puck was hit over the wall into our section. I realized with all the commotion that it had fallen under my seat. I tried to stretch my tiny little fingers as far as they could go without success, I quickly jumped out of my seat and got down on my hands and knees and peered under my seat to be highly disappointed. It was gone!! The girl behind me snatched it up! That jerk! I got back in my seat and tried to forget about the horrible loss..... In the mean time we realized the lady behind Daniel was hit in the head by the puck. Ouch! Honestly I would have felt terrible to have been celebrating the victory of the catch when some lady had just been knocked out. The stadium was kind enough to give her an ice "puck" though!! Strangly enough it was a cold puck they gave her to ice her head…. a bit of an oxymoron? Unfortunately we lost the puck and lost the game, either way it was to get out and enjoy a nice evening together.
The Story: Our First Valentine's Day
Our first Valentine's day was simple & quiet just how we like things. I got Daniel Dead Space 2-a video game he's been wanting and Shrek 2 (we've been wanting to build up our Disney/Pixar/Dreamsworks etc selection) I wrapped them up in a bag and made him a card. I set them out on the bed so he'd find it when he got home. When he saw them he said "Why do you always have to over do it!" Over do it? It really wasn't over done at all. He opened it up said thanks and gave me a hug then left the room and came back and tossed a bag of mini cadbury eggs on the bed and said "This is what I got you....." I guess this is what happens after you get married? No more of those cute, thoughtful, romantic gifts ;) We then had dinner and made some peach cheesecake delight cups, which we enjoyed after a good game of battleship! I WON!
That following weekend we went out to Texas Roadhouse and if you know me well enough you know I LOVE this place! Daniel then told me that he had ordered Guitar Hero for me for Valentine's day but it didn't come in time so he canceled the order and told me that instead he wanted to give me money to go shopping. So i guess the cadbury eggs were just a filler gift.... Bless his heart ;) So to kill time until we got our seat we went to Maurices to look around. I asked him later just to give me the money so when I found something I liked I could get it. He looked at me like I was an idiot "I'm not going to do that, you'll just take the money and pay bills with it" Dang it! He knows me too well! Deep down I want to spend money on things that aren't responsible, but more often then not I just can't bring myself to doing it. Moral of the story, he hung on to the money and I got myself a few "fashionable" tops. Even though our Valentines day wasn't the picture perfect roses, cards, and candle light dinner, it was perfect for us! I'm grateful for my husband and for all the love he shows me and the wonderful man he is!
