Vacation to St. Thomas

Here are the pictures you have been
waiting to see!  

We had a fantastic time in St. Thomas.
Our resort was amazing, the water
was perfect... it was all just wonderful.

Well, take a look for yourself!

The view from our room


These lizards were EVERYWHERE

It was so fun having Natalie 
there with us - it was her
first trip to the ocean...

Natalie's first time at the beach!


She wasn't sure about it


The guys basically lived on the floating trampoline all week

It was fun watching cruise ships come in and out - one day there were 5!

The girls enjoyed a spa day




That water kept creeping up... I had to keep an eye on it.



Our beautiful resort

Just lounging in the ocean...









Natalie loved Eric

One of the restaurants where we dined - gorgeous view







That is one cute baby


We went snorkeling one day - saw turtles and schools of fish!

On the catamaran that took us to a snorkeling spot

We were ready for the OU game


We definitely want to go back to
this place at some point in the future.
It was an awesome vacation!

Our 2nd Anniversary

We celebrated our 2nd anniversary
on the 29th.  It was a wonderful day.

We woke up and ate
some homemade cinnamon rolls
on our cute pumpkin plates
(Thank you Grandma Peg).


We decided to keep with tradition
on our gift giving - so the 2nd anniversary
traditional gift is cotton.

Eric got me a beautiful tablecloth 
for our new kitchen table,
with matching napkins
and pretty silver napkin rings.

I got Eric an embroidered
golf towel and a CU mascot 
golf club cover.

We got all dressed up
and went out to dinner
at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
in Salt Lake City.


Every year, we will take a picture
holding the picture we took the last 
year on our anniversary...
it's going to be neat.


Our table had rose petals on it
We got home and put on our
comfy clothes to toast to
another wonderful year of
marriage (even if we were only 
together for half of it).

My parents sent a bottle
of champagne home with me
for the occasion and we used
our fancy wedding champagne flutes.



We sat down and watched
our wedding film with our 
champagne.  I am so glad
we decided to have our
wedding filmed.
What a fantastic day
that was.


It was wonderful to
have Eric home for our anniversary.
We enjoyed our day together
and look forward to
many many many more.
