Trip to Sedona

For our one year anniversary we took a trip to Sedona. We stayed at this beautiful time share we bought off someone. It was quite funny- we told them it was our one year so they tried to put us in the best view available- but they warned us a million times that there would be lots of stairs. Since we are young and in decent shape we figured it wouldn't be a huge problem- it was shocking but the stairs were absolutely no big deal! They must have so many high maintenace people that come because they kept warning us on lots of stuff and they were all 100% not a big deal.

We bought a truck while we were up there! Red Toyota Tundra. We met the lady a couple hours north of Sedona. The truck is everything drew hoped and dreamed of. and his constant looking on auto trader and craigslist really paid off. We got the deal of the century and Drew couldn't be more excited. The lady was super sweet- it was her husband's truck and he had recently passed away. She wanted to make sure that it got a good home and would continue to be babied- And Drew is definitely keeping that promise.

We went to a few art shops of course- there is some amazing stuff up there. I loved looking at all the different stuff and many styles. It was one of those reminders that makes me sad that I don't do art except on rare occasions. Drew is always trying to get me to do it more often and the only pieces I've finished in the past two years have both been presents for him. He does a great job of being supportive and making me feel like I have a wonderful talent.


We went to Out of Africa- it is crazier than any zoo I've ever been to. I highly recommend it to anyone. They do this Tiger splash where these trainers are jumping and playing and teasing full grown tigers in the pool. It is like playing with fire- but it was fun for everyone to watch- you would have to be crazy to do it. Drew loved the predator feed- they take the truck all around the park and throw huge chunks of meet to the animals. The male lions were the craziest. They got pretty intense. We are convinced that if those animals really wanted to get out of those fenced in areas they most certainly could.

It was a wonderful and fun trip! And a great celebration to an AMAZING first year together. Marriage is awesome!
