So it’s anniversary time. Here’s the first batch of photos while i’m doing work on a few things about 1:15 in the morning on the 2nd. Wonderful Westerns gallery is uploading and it is going to take a while even on the cable interwebs that i miss.
Here we go…
After the drive down where else would we eat while we waited for Amanda’s haircut but Red Robin. We shared the usual Clucks n Fries with a Chocolate Shake.
Getting to Sandy’s I needed to do the work that is getting done right now, but wouldn’t ya know that Sandy’s computer was broken and needed help. We ended up trading the haircut for the computer stuff, and i missed out on some work goodness. Also about this time I realized how much i didn’t miss valley as i was already sweating INSIDE!
Dinner at Ichiban with John & Ceri. I tried my first Sushi and am still alive to tell the tale. Great to see them!
This could easily be called the highlight of the evening. While waiting for Kody at Golfland we saw a human/fox creature. I guess cloning isn’t going the way they wanted it or we have found the coolest kid in the 480. I’m gonna lean for the latter. GO FOX BOY!
At the first hole while we waited for the parade of little kids to get a hole ahead of us. Kody told is we should have told him to bring a date. hehe
I think they put this hole in just to make you feel like the coolest kid in the world! After putt putt we played Pinball and headed to Aunt Mary’s for pool time. Saw Dean, Donna, and Luna there.
After Golfland we went to Aunt Mary’s and went swimming which was also a blast. We saw Luna there which we will be adopting on Wednesday (or regaining custody i guess since its Amanda’s dog). This weekend we have to fence in a pen so he can hang out while we are at work.
Sunday after church now… We went to Jaba’s baby blessing which was pretty sweet. Any guuesses why i’m in a black room with the windows covered…. Yup winner migraine, but Aunt Mary came through HUGE with an Imitrex in her car. Good time eating lunch and hanging out at Uncle Bruce’s house.
How could have i almost forgotten this picture? Kody came with us on Sunday and couldn’t put Jaba and Suzie’s baby down. It was hilarious to see him and my Mother-in-law Donna fight over who got more time holding the baby.
MYSPACE!!!
After the wonderful Imitrex took hold.
Ate dinner at Matt’s house with Ceri’s family and then played Catch Phrase. Yup i sweated inside there too.
Pretty much haven’t figured it out yet, but babies dig me! Matt’s baby girl is pretty stinking cute as Amanda would say.
MORE COMING SOON AS IT HAPPENS!

Okay, so i got some sleep after getting everything uploaded about 1:30. John and Ceri were so great to us, and i don’t think we can thank them enough. I’m sure they had to be sick of us by the end.
Guess where we went? I took Amanda to the Temple at the time we got sealed. Since it was a Monday the Temple wasn’t open so we couldn’t go inside, but we walked around the outside and then went into the visitor’s center.
Such a beautiful place! We talked about it a lot and decided that is the House where we grew up spiritually in. Its the House where we became the adults we pretend to be in public.
Inside the Visitor’s Center I gave Amanda a note like I had when i proposed to her, and the pulled her ring out of my pocket and gave it to her again. (It had been being repaired, so it was a surprise!)
After the Temple we went to Oregano’s instead of Pete’s 🙁 because Jenn couldn’t drive that far. Clancey & Kody even showed up for some good Italian food.
John, you’re my hero!! Thanks for helping out with the suite and everything…
I know, I know you’re saying… “what suite?” Well after Oregano’s we ran over to pick up Clancey’s broken computer and then I told Amanda i wanted to pick up some Pete’s Fish and Chips sauce to take home. She looked at me weird, but i told her i had been craving some. When i pulled onto Centinnel Way she got confused and told me that Pete’s was off of main. I just smiled and said, “oh ya, i got us a room at the Marriott.” She didn’t believe me until i puleed up to the hotel, and we got our key. I sent her and the bellhop up to our room while i parked the car, and Amanda headed up to the same suite we spent our first night together. It was so fun just to relax for the rest of the day, and when i told Amanda she could do what ever she wanted for the rest of the day she ended up taking a nap first thing.
That night we ate at Serrano’s and went hot tubing all by ourselves before heading back up to the room to watch 21.
Next morning we checked out of our room after getting to sleep in HOORAY! We did get to eat at Pete’s, which was magical as ever. On the way out of town we stopped at the Hospital and took them Frosty’s like old times. Raelynn was working and we talked with her while she had lunch.
We had wanted to get our tired rotated so we stopped in at the discount tire by our old apartment. It conveniently had a game stop next to it so we went in and asked them as we had every other electronics store if they had a Wii in. Amanda wanted to get one for our Anniversary, and i wasn’t about to tell her no to getting a video game she would play. As we suspected they said no, but he asked us to hang on for a second. The store up the road had just gotten an order, and when he opened it there was 2 Wii Consoles in it. They couldn’t hold it so I called Azstar, which was right next to it, and Stan went and grabbed it. It was good to get to run up there and talk with them for a minute as well.
After ridding ourselves of that money that had been burning a hole in our pockets we headed back on the road and drove home. For some reason it was a really long drive, and we couldn’t wait to get home. Oh ya, cause that Wii stared at me the whole way home. Before unpacking the goodness we ran to Gwen’s to pick up my present from Amanda. She bought me a grill that we will break in this weekend when her parents make it down.
Yes, we got a Wii, and yes it is AWESOME! We played Mario Kart Wii for like 2 hours until we both were about the fall asleep at the wheel. hehe Even today while at work, time is going by SOOOO slow. LOL
————————–
Pretty much couldn’t have asked for more when it came to the first anniversary, and I hope that everyone is this special!
Earlier that day Mylea and I made a cake for Wes’s party that we were going to have that night. Mylea wanted to either put a peep or teenage mutin ninga turtles on the cake, I actually had a big plastic peep from Easter, so it turned out great! Mylea was very pleased with the way the cake turned out 🙂
