Our First Anniversary!!!

Saturday, Aug 16, was our first anniversary. It's crazy to think that we've been married for a year already. It went by too fast. We started out the day by me making Scott a breakfast in bed. We had pancakes with fresh strawberries on top and it was pretty good. We relaxed for a little bit and headed off for Salt Lake. Scott did get me flowers - my favorite, gerber daisies. Our first stop was for lunch at Cafe Rio in Draper. It's one of my favorite places to eat! After lunch we went to a mini golf place in Salt Lake, call Golf in the Round. We played two rounds of mini golf. When we play, we don't keep a score card, we just keep track of who wins what hole. He won the first round, and I won the second.





After golfing we headed to check into our hotel room at the Little America. The hotel was really nice and the room was more than I expected. It had the room with the bed and a flat screen tv in it. Then there was a whole other open room connected to it with a desk, table and 2 chairs, couch, and an amazing view. We stayed in the tower and were on the 15th floor with a window facing out on downtown Salt Lake. Then there's also a vanity with a chair by the closet and connected off of that was the bathroom that had all marble counter tops and a large bathtub. It was a beautiful room.



We didn't get to stay there very long. Long enough to change out of our shorts and head off to make our 5:30 dinner reservations at Spencer's Steakhouse. I was expecting to go to some place like PF Changs, but I was wrong. Spencer's Steakhouse is one of the top ten steakhouses in the nation. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, it's a very classy place. We had a very intimate booth to ourselves, with not too many people in the restaurant yet. The food was very good, as was the service. At the end of our meal, our waitress brought us a delicious strawberry shortcake, in celebration of our anniversary. It was very nice of her to do. The whole meal was excellent.



After dinner we walked down to Temple Square and there Scott got us a horse drawn carriage ride. This is something I've always wanted to do and he wanted to do this the day he proposed, but there were no carriages there at that time. We took the carriage up to Memory Grove and it was so nice. It was so romantic and relaxing. Our driver even had an ipod with Frank Sinatra and other music playing for us. It totally made the moment for us. As we came back down from the grove, the sun was getting ready to set, so the light it cast on everything was so beautiful, especially on the temple.







After the carriage ride we walked around temple square and it wouldn't be complete without a picture in front of where it all began a year ago. After walking for a little bit longer we decided that since it was almost dark we would head back to our hotel. It was the PERFECT DAY!!
