1 year Anniversary Weekend

For our one year anniversary we decided to finally go to the Oasis. It is SO beautiful out there! This is one of our favorite shots because it really shows how pretty the sunset was. We had to wait about an hour for a seat and it was dreadfully hot outside, but it was totally worth it. We dropped the hint to the host that it was our anniversary and told the manager too, so they got us one of the best seats in the entire restaurant. In case some people dont know alot about the Oasis, it seats over 2000 people in the restaurant and the table go down a hill so almost every table has a view. We were lucky enough to be inside the building, right on the rail. So it wasn't TOO dreadfully hot, it was just perfect. Ian and I had some of the most incredible shrimp and finished off our meal with a HUGE chocolate mousse cake that was to die for.
From there we went to go see Get Smart at the movie theater before we went back to our hotel. That particular weekend we had to get a hotel because our house wasn't quite ready to move in yet. It was nice to have a little hotel for the weekend though.
The next morning we woke up extra early and decided to drive to Enchanted Rock to go hiking. Ian had just won a GPS system at work so we were pumped to use it on our drive. Little did we know, that GPS needs adjustments such as "shortest distance, or avoid highways".

So Ian and I are driving and were asked to turn onto a farm road, we crossed over cattle guards and this is what we saw...We were laughing hysterically because this was not where we were supposed to me. We ended up hitting another cattle guard that said NO TRESPASSING or you will be fined. So we decided to turn around and see if the GPS would take us somewhere else. Well we ended up being directed to another road just like this one. So me and Ian ended up having to navigate all by ourselves. This 1 1/2 hour trip ended up taking us over twice as long to get there. But the trip was so much fun and we enjoyed spending the time together. When we finally got to enchanted rock, it had to be over 100 degrees outside and the Rock looked HUGE. We started out hike only to make it up a small distance before already needing a break. The view was incredible but we were just melting in the heat. Everytime we thought we were reaching the top, we would see even more of the mountain to climb. It didn't take us too long to reach the top and the view was well worth it.
Ian climbed this other huge rock that I couldn't get up. He had a hard time getting down, but I love this shot. He looked like he conquered the whole mountain.
I decided to conquer a smaller rock, on the left hand side. I was just happy to get on that one because on the way down my bad knee started shaking really bad and Ian did everything but put me on his back to make sure we made it down safely. This was one of the best weekends we had spent together because it was just the two of spending some quality time with each other. Since out lives are so busy with school and work, we cherish these types of activities. I cant believe it has already been a year that we have been married. It flew by so fast and look forward to the many more anniversaries we will have together.
