1 Year. . .

since this blessed day:


Yep, on Saturday, Mr. Frisby and I celebrated our first anniversary. It came a little quickly for both of us. So quickly that it was a little scary to watch it arrive.


Not all moments have been glorious, but they have been moments and it has been a wonderful year. We have decided that marriage is great and it turns out, Heavenly Father knows what He's talking about.

So, how did we celebrate the past year of marital bliss? We headed down south to visit Hearst Castle! Fortunately, the weather was amazing (I love California) and we had a great time. We drove down on Friday, stopped at one of the California missions along the way, ate lunch and did a tour of the castle. We then checked into our very cute hotel that was right across the street from the beach. When the sun was starting to set, we thought it would be fun to go for a walk along the beach, but by that time, the sun was going down and the wind had picked up, so when we got to the beach we decided it was too cold for a walk along the beach and just headed off to find some dinner. The next day we checked out and headed to the castle for tour number 2. The castle was really neat and there was lots to see. We'll have to go back again someday. After our tour, we got some lunch and then started on our way home. We stopped along the way to enjoy the scenery and to see another of the California missions. Then we ended up in Carmel for a wonderful dinner. It was a wonderful anniversary and we had a fabulous time!

I told Mr. Frisby that if nobody uses this pool, it's a damn shame!

Yep, a little too cold for a walk on the beach



There was some fog on Saturday morning, but it made for some great pictures




Our cute little hotel




Some beautiful scenery along the way (again, it was a little foggy on the coast)

I spent my first anniversary 6 1/2 months pregnant. Time for an announcement. Your eggs are getting older. But I'm glad you got some alone time in. You know I love traveling.

Aww that bright green grass REALLY makes me miss California in Spring.

Congrats on one year! I remembered the first year (mainly first 6 months) going by so slowly, and by the 2nd year, super fast.
