A week of ENDLESS fun!

This past week was our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We decided we wanted to celebrate in a BIG way! We left this past Tuesday and drove and stayed in LAS Vegas and stayed in Excalibur and walked the entire strip; I forgot how dirty Vegas is!! Then on Wednesday we hit the road again and drove to San Diego where we site-saw and ate in Old Town. Thursday we went to Sea World and saw all the wonderfully fun shows and amazing animals... I LOVE dolphins they are sooo stinking cute! We stayed about all day long cause we were having so much fun! Then we woke up bright and early Friday and drove to L.A. to UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!! I was so excited to go because it has been so long since I have been there and since Dallas is a movie lover he was pretty excited; for example during the back-lot tour they have lots of movie posters and Dallas has seen pretty much seen all of them and would say "Good Movie" or  "Bad Movie". We had a ton of fun at Universal, I loved all the rides and the shows! We stayed until close again and I was really bummed we couldn't stay longer and visit Citywalk (A HUGE outdoor mall at Universal) but we had a 2 hour drive back to our hotel and we were already so tired. Then Saturday we visited the beach, and the San Diego Temple before we took a scenic ride back to the free-way to go home! Saturday we spent our anniversary in the car driving to Vegas and staying in Luxor...we didn't really do much that day because we were already so tired but we were together and doing what we do best LAUGHING! So it was a really fun day! I love being married (which I know I say a lot) but over the course of this year we have had so many adventures and I have grown to love Dallas so much more, he is my best friend and there is no one else I would rather spend my days with!

This is our first night in Las Vegas, we were almost back to our hotel and we were so ready...can you tell we were exhausted?
In the car...again we spent ALOT of time in the car!
This is the church were Dallas attended during his mission! I loved seeing his mission area and he got to visit some of the families he grew really close too! So Cool!
I can't remember the name of the this dolphin @ Sew World but isn't it cool looking? It loves to swim on its back, just the sweetest animal!
Shamu and her baby at the BELIEVE show @ SeaWorld...we were bummed because none of the trainers got into the water with the KILLER Whales!
this picture speaks for itself!
The Jurassic Park at Universal...I didn't realize how wet you got! Wrong day not to bring a hair-thingy!
The coolest orangutan monkey at the Universal Pet Show, he made us laugh so hard!
Back at Las Vegas on the night of our anniversary! Dallas hates me asking people to take our picture thus all the weird posed photos! I loved our Anniversary!
We wanted to do a sealing session at the San Diego Temple on Saturday, a special reminder of what we did one year ago; but unfortunately it is getting worked on so it was closed! But we were still able to get a picture of the temple minus the scaffolding!
