One Year Anniversary

Image
To celebrate our one year anniversary, we decided to go to Vegas. The night before we left, we had the "top layer" of our wedding cake. (Actually, the place we got our cake from makes a small anniversary cake for certain anniversaries, so it was not actually frozen, but it was fresh.) We cut the cake with our cake cutting set from the wedding and shared the moment with my parents and sister. The next day, we headed out to Vegas. Upon arrival to our hotel, Treasure Island, Steven booked me a few hours at the spa for a Swedish massage, shower body exfoliation and hydrotherapy bath. So pretty much when we arrived in our room, I unpacked then headed straight to the spa. Steven, on the other hand, went to the casino to gamble. (He actually won pretty good amount of money too.) After spending 5-hours at he spa, I headed back to the room to quickly get changed into something more, dinner appropriate, as we headed to S&W steakhouse for our dinner reservations. The next mor

Buying Our House

After the wedding we had decided to look for our own house to purchases. We looked and looked for different houses all over the valley. We fell in love with a few but since we were not pre-approved yet, there was nothing we could do. We waited to head back on the status for one loan.

It was exciting looking through houses figuring out what we wanted and what we did not like. Though it was tough trying to figure out what was a want and what was a need. It took a little bit of arguing to come to terms on everything that we needed. Steven wanted a backyard that he could fix up and make our own and a garage he could turn into a work space while I wanted to make sure there was a large enough kitchen, a large master closet, carpet, and a few other things. The day that we walked through the Parkwood Ranch house, we had seen a few others prior to it and had a few more after it. Ste

The Honeymoon: To Califonia

So for our honeymoon, we decided to go to my home area, Southern California. We got 5 day city passes that included, one day at Universal Studios Hollywood, three day park hopper tickets with one magic morning tickets to Disneyland/California Adventures, and one day to Sea World San Diego. We took or honeymoon from Saturday March 1, directly after the wedding until Sunday March 9. It all started as our friends and family celebrated our marriage by seeing us off for the first night as husband and wife. We got into the limo and headed into Phoenix to our hotel. After staying at the Westin, it has become a regular place we stay to get away. But any who, we got room service and rested up from all the excitement from the wedding and for the first full day of our honeymoon. So the next morning after we got up and got all ready, we hit the road to Hollywood. On the way to California, we passed my best friends, Kassey, Heather & Ted driving back home. Also as I was driving like 80 mph o
