Anniversary weekend= Partay!

On Father's Day, June 21st, Jared and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary! It was a lot of fun and quite an advernture!! We left Smithfield on Saturday and came back on the following Wednesday. So we start driving through Utah..and the weather's pretty nice right? Haha..we figured out very soon, when we drove into Wyoming that we were going to have a very wet, 2-night camping trip!! I felt sorry for my husband having to put up with my complaining. Number one, I hadn't been camping for a while, it was pouring rain and before we left, my sister was giving me the heads up on bears attacks...and things that I wasn't too excited to hear about before a camping trip! (I still love ya sis...we made it out alive). But I sucked it up and we set up camp at a place called Flagg Ranch. I was so happy to hear that close to our camp site, there were showers and flushing toilets, and even plug outlets to dry our hair!! Our tent worked fantastic too! Jared didn't tell me before we set up camp that the last time he camped in the rain, he woke up soak n' wet! I'm glad he told me after we were all done camping and on our way to the hotels. Silly Boy :) I seriously think that camping makes relationships stronger! You really have to rely on each other for survival ;) Ok...maybe it's not that crazy...but it brought us closer together, between spraying each other with mesquito repellent, trying to keep each other warm in our sleeping bags and doing all of that fun stuff!

The day we left our campsite was a nice sunny day. Go figure right? Haha...So on Monday morning we decided to go fishing. We had fun just hanging out with each other and goofing around. We didn't catch anything, but in a way I was glad. We didn't have to gut them! It was gorgeous out on Jackson lake. So nice to see sunshine!!

Since nothing was biting, we decided to take the fun to Jenny Lake. It's soo pretty up there. It's nestled right against the ever so famous Teton mountains! We rented a kayak and paddled around for a while. And I'm so glad Jared didn't tip us because the water was freeeeezing! He was just about to when he felt the water himself and freaked out!! Lol...it was pretty funny.

Following the Kayak adventure, we took a little walk on one of the trails over there. We decided to stop and ask this cute little older couple to take our picture. Well, right after the man takes our pic, he saw a momma moose and her little baby "calf," as they call them right behind us. It was sweet! Last year when Jared and I honey-mooned up there we didn't see any "wild-life" really except for some buffalo like "100 miles" away! So we took tons of pics of the humongo mama and her little baby :)

We also a trip up to "Old Faithful." We walked around some of the natural geysers and hot pots, went out to eat at this yummy place called....(I don't remember) but they had the BEST corn-chowder!!!!! mmmm-mmmm. I can still taste it now! :) As we were leaving the Old Faithful Lodge, there were a family of Buffalo right outside of the Hotel!!! I couldn't believe it! They were soo stinkin' close! I was a little freaked out since people in the past had been gored by buffalo. So, Jared and I just took our pics and ran!

That night, we had to make sure we were at the Bar-J chuck wagon dinner by 5. So, we checked into our hotel at 4 and cleaned up from our nasty-ness from our camping trip. Then on we went!! If any of you haven't gone to Wyoming and seen the Bar-J, you need to! It's soo much fun!! They are a group of 5 guys, true blue country boys, that make steaks, ribs, chicken and beef right at there ranch. They put on a very entertaining show, and have an amazing talent for harmonizing! We took some fun pics of them performing :) And although I've had my blog for a little while now, I'm still trying to figure everything out. Haha...I'm very blog-retarded and need to learn how to post pics with my entries! So you'll see them eventually! Please be patient ;)

Jackson Hole is so much fun! When we were there, we couldn't believe that we were at the same place last summer for our Honeymoon! Time really does go by fast..so we've just got to enjoy every minute.

Our last day there, we walked around all of the cool shops that Jackson Hole has, took pictures and stuffed our faces with yummy food! My husband was very patient with me, thank goodness. I think we literally went into every shop in downtown Jackson!

It was so hard to come home after all of our fun, celebrating our 1 year anniversary together. But it was nice to come back to civilization. I'm so grateful and happy for the amazing and loving husband that I have! Jared is a huge strength to me. Every day with him is an adventure :) I can't wait to see where we are in life next year and the year after that and so on and so forth! I know he will make the perfect daddy to our children. And I'm very excited to see where life takes us from here! :)
