For our first anniversary I thought that it would be a good idea to start a blog so that we can see how things change and keep in touch with our family. (I also want a good place to store pictures...)
This first year was exciting and we learned a lot about ourselves and about what marriage is really about. I am excited to see what the future holds!
There was a lot that happened this last year and hopefully we will put pictures up of some of the things we did. It started off with our honeymoon in Florida where went to Universal Studios and Disney's Animal Kingdom. We went there specifically for Harry Potter world where we got wands, drank butter beer and ate at the 3 Broomsticks! The rides and different lands were amazing, some of our favorite rides were The Hulk, Transformers, and the Journey to Hogwarts. Since we were in Orlando it dumped more rain than I have ever seen every afternoon, it was crazy. We got to go to the Orlando temple while we were there too and it was so beautiful.
About 2 weeks after that we went to Boise for my Grandpa Bues' 80th birthday and a little family reunion. It was so much fun reconnecting with all my family down there. Unfortunately, Jesse had to leave straight from Boise to Colorado for work for about a week. This was not a fun time, but we got through it I guess.
Later that summer we got to go to Seattle for a Mariners game and to hang out with Cooie's family. We went crabbing and had lots of fun. It was a good weekend, but never again will we eat 2 orders of garlic fries.........
In September Jesse really set the bar high for birthday presents. He got me a racing experience. I got to drive a real race car for 12 laps at the Spokane Speedway. It was amazing and a little scary... those things go fast and you can feel the pull when you go around the corner!
In October Jesse could finally say he went to a concert that was not Justin Bieber. We went to Jason Mraz and Raining Jane with Samm and Amanda. It was a good time other than the rude grandma that wouldn't switch us 1 spot.
Christmas was spent with family and not much snow. Jesse and his grandpa made some amazing lamps for me that look like the Deathly Hallows from Harry Potter.
Jeff and Jenny came up around New Years and we spent a lot of time playing games and having fun with Kate. We became besties while she was here.
After that Kayle came up and we got to meet Burton for the first time celebrate Kenzie Bo Benzie's birthday!
We went down to Provo for a weekend in March for a friend's wedding and I had In n Out burger for the first time, and now that is all I want. It was fun seeing Jesse's old stomping ground and eating a Kong Kone! In March our really good friends Bethany and Nathan got married so those festivites were fun.
In May we got the opportunity to visit Jesse's Grandma Merry in Livingston, Montana. It was a very good time. Her family helped settle the area so it was fun hearing all the stories about that place.
And now we just got back from a night at Palouse Falls which was interesting. There was a beautiful hike and it was nice to just relax for a minute.
