1 year of wedded BLISS!!!

I cannot believe we have already celebrated our 1 year anniversary. This year has gone by so fast and has been the best year EVER!! We have truly enjoyed getting settled into our married life. To celebrate we decided to head up to Colorado Springs! We left Saturday morning and arrived safe and sound that afternoon. I had ordered the top tier of our wedding cake to take with us....traveling with a cake is not easy but if you need any tips I'll fill you in. Anywho...we went to Denver to watch the Big XII game with Luke and Clay's cousin Cody....so fun because our awesome Sooners pulled off a big win!!! Sunday we just hung out in CO Springs and watched the Patriots game. Luke came to town to watch with us. We ended up playing 5 games of darts and somehow Clay dominated every game!! I think he secretly plays darts every day!! So finally it was Monday!! Our first anniversary!! We decided to tour the Olympic training center which was about the coolest thing we've ever done!! Unfortunately there weren't many athletes training the day we went but it was still very neat to see everything.

Our cake!! That made it through the medical detector....PHEW!


The pathway leading through the training facility. There is a flag for every country represented in the Olympics. Pretty cool.


After our tour we decided to head to the Broadmoor for a drink....duh! While we were at the Broadmoor it started to snow like CRAZY!! It was AMAZING!!

CHEERS!!

My favorite picture!!

We had dinner later that night at Walter's Bistro and just relaxed. It was so much fun watching it pour down snow!

The next day we headed to Vail to see the Crotts family. It took us a little longer than expected to get there so we weren't able to ski Tuesday. We went to the slopes on Wednesday and the weather was a little crazy. People were telling us that their goggles were freezing and they couldn't see anything. So we stopped in Starbucks to warm up and then Clay decided to go up and check out the conditions. The weather got better so I went up too. It was fun!! We decided to head back to the Springs after skiing.

Thursday we ended up going back to Denver to have a farewell dinner with Luke and his friends and Clay's cousin Lea. We went to Vesta Dipping Grill....if you ever make it to Denver I highly recommend this restaurant! It's not fondue like one might think but you get to choose dipping sauces for your entrees. So much fun!!
Luke, Clay, me, Lea, JJ, and Trevor
Friday we drove home to OKC. We drove home Hank's Corvette. That was a long 10 hour drive!!!
All in all we had a fabulous anniversary trip!! We got to do a lot and see a lot of Clay's family! I could've stayed in CO for awhile longer....I just love it up there.
PS - I still can't believe it's been a year! WOW!!
