Our 1st Year Together!!!!

So we just celebrated our 1st anniversary, and we can't believe that time has gone by so fast! We really feel like we just got married last month. To celebrate we went down to Redondo Beach for the weekend. We spent most of the first day on the beach, and we were really excited about the dolphins that swam up right next to the shore.

Then we hung out at our hotel, watching our wedding video, and thinking about that wonderful day. Dinner was a surprise. We had picked out this authentic chinese restraunt online. When we got there we started to get a little nervous because it looked like a dump. But inside it was really pretty and clean. The fun part was the service. They were hilarious. This little old lady greeted us and asked us how many, we said "two" and she looked at us and yelled, "Good!" We're not sure what happens if you say an odd number. Then our waitor took our order, but instead of bringing only the food we ordered he kept bringing extra appetizers and desserts insisting we try them. He would keep coming back to get our approval. When we finally got the food we ordered, we were both full, which was good because Sammy didn't realize he had ordered this weird crunchy chicken thing that did not look good at all. But it was great experience. Later that night we went for a walk on the beach, which was beautiful. We ended the night with watching the movie The Watchmen, which niether one of us really liked. The next morning we drove around forever just trying to find a IHOP, and we found the smallest one in the world! We spent the rest of the day on the boardwalk. We had so much fun. We rented a pedal boat and took around the marina. Our legs got really tired, but it was worth it. Seals swam next to boat and we got to see them sunbathing with lots of pelicans. It was great. We really had a lot of fun.

Besides our anniversary celebration, we don't have a lot of new things to add. Sam is starting to play tennis again, his boss at work talked him into playing. Amber is going to be a cabin mom at girls camp in a couple of weeks. We're excited but a little apprehensive since this will be the first time we've been apart for that long. lol....I'm sure some of you are rolling your eyes, but Hey, we like to be with eachother! So a week seems like a long time to us! So that's it. Thanks for checking in!
