ONE YEAR!

One year ago today Skyler and I were married for time and all eternity in Oakland, California. It's crazy how fast time has gone by and even crazier that in a few months our family will turn to 3! To celebrate our anniversary we decided to head down to Chicago for a little weekend getaway. I decided that I was going to relax all weekend and not worry a bit at all about how expensive everything is [there is a 11% tax on all food in the city!] First place we hit in the city was a Brazilian Steakhouse, Texas De Brazil. Skyler has wanted to go somewhere like this since he got home off his mission and we haven't been able to find one. The place is CRAZY, it's about 50 bucks a plate and you get unlimited everything. Servers walk around with all kinds of different meats, and if you want the particular meat they have you just ask for it. We STUFFED ourselves, we had everything from bacon wrapped tri-tip to a very unique Brazilian beef. They had very traditional dishes that skyler was DYING over, he loved the "banana frita" and had a flood of memories come to him after drinking the "guarana". It was so much fun to see him so excited, and it was definently worth the big bill! After completely stuffing ourselves we went back to the hotel for the night. The next morning was our actual anniversary, I left hearts all over the room saying different things I love about Skyler and he took the "gift for both of us route" with a little bag from Victoria's secret. We then headed back out to the city to see all the sites. We went to the famous Chicago theater, the magnificent mile, and much more. When I felt like my legs were ready to collapse we decided to head home. On the drive home we passed a "white castle" and had to go. We had always heard about the famous white castle sliders but had never tried them, they did not disappoint! Driving back Skyler and I laughed over many memories we have from this year and I think we are going to make a memory journal so we never forget all the fun things we have done, and will do through our years together. I wouldn't want anyone else by my side through everything and I can't wait for many MANY more anniversaries with my favorite person in the whole world!
