First Anniversary!

Our first anniversary was June 8, 2014. We went on a cruise to Catalina Island and Ensenada, Mexico! We had incredible time!


Outside our hotel window in Long Beach

Getting on the Carnival Imagination!! 

Embarkation!! Happy anniversary to us!!

Our teeny cabin and fake window :)

Shuffleboard that we didn't play



Docked beside the Queen Mary 

Bon voyage!!!


So obsessed with the ocean. Every single time I looked at it it was a different color.

So windy!!



Really. It was windy

Pulling up to Catalina in the morning mist 











I'm in love with Catalina island 








One of my favorite movies is Glass Bottom Boat, so of course this was our first stop. No mermaids 





Fresh fish and chips! So yum


First time snorkeling!!



Handsome. Because he's handsome

MERMAID




We're now in love with snorkeling!! I have such a love for the ocean, even if it's a little scary :) 

We're the cutest 

Pulling up to Ensenada!!


Kenny G was everywhere haha





Just wandering the roads!

Tuna farms and lobster traps

Coming around the bay

Cutest


La bufadora!!





Viva Mexico!! 

The cutest shops


My AMAZING hand embroidered blouse. We also came home with lots of vanilla, among other things

Fresh churros from a street vendor. Probably won't ever be able to eat plain frozen ones again. So good!!


Favorite travel partner 


Day at sea

The most delicious piƱa colada of all time. The food all week was the best!

The day we got off the boat we spent the afternoon in beautiful Santa Monica 

Mostly to see the famous pier with the Ferris wheel, but also to go to bloomies haha!! We got corn dogs on the beach, a hot fudge Sunday to share, and went to the bay conservation aquarium under the pier! Adorbs 

Saturday we had a little anniversary party with our family. So grateful for my parent and in-laws and grandparents that came to celebrate our marriage! They are our favorite examples. Mom and holly surprised us with a cute banner!!

I'm spoiled beyond belief. I KNOW.

Lumpy, squished, thawed top tier of our wedding cake 




My shirt says WIFEY but my unruly hair covers it!!

The cake smash! Since we did it so nicely a year ago :)


What an incredible first year this has been. I fall more in love with my sweetheart every day. I'm so grateful for everything he does for me! I'm so glad to be sealed to him. I'm so thankful for our families and the examples of love and friendship they are to us. I love learning and growing with my husband.

To many many more delightfully fun anniversaries!!!
