Our First Wedding Anniversary!

Wedding Photos
This past Sunday was our first wedding anniversary. I can't believe a year has already gone by. We talk about our wedding all the time and how we wish we could relive that day again. We had so much fun and everything turned out perfect. Since we didn't have our blog at that time, I have decided to post a few of my favorite pictures.

Here's my handsome husband

CHEERS!!!

Our wonderful family

The ladies that stood by my side... I love them all!

Tracy and Rachel made the boys these cool underwear. You can't see it very clear, but it says, "I (heart) Xavs". Thanks Girls! The best day of my life!

Anniversary Trip

For our actual wedding anniversary we decided to go away for the weekend. So we went camping in Yosemite. We left Thursday afternoon and we were planning on getting a campsite that night, but unfortunately everything was full. We drove from campsite to campsite, inside the village and out looking for a place to sleep. It was 1:30 in the morning, we were pooped, but determined to find a site. As we were leaving Campground 4 the park ranger comes running towards our car, and waves us down to stop. She informs us that there is a bear in the road. We look ahead about 100 ft. and there it was! A huge, black bear, on top of a pizza box, just enjoying a late night snack. Adam and I had just talked about really wanting to see a bear during our trip, we seriously couldn't believe our eyes. At this time, another car pulls up right next to us, we roll down the windows, and we end talking about the bear and how we are both trying to find a spot for the night. We finally decided to call it a night and we ended up sleeping in our car. We arrived back to Campground 4 early that morning, got in line, and ran into the same couple from the night before. Little did we know that we would end up hanging out with them for the weekend.

Deer on our campsite

On our last day, as we were driving around the village looking for a place to shower, we stumbled across ANOTHER black bear just strolling around the park. This time he was much closer!

Our delicious camping meals...

This is the most beautiful hike we have ever been on! We hiked to Nevada Falls, a rigorous 8 mile hike, but absolutely breathtaking!

When we got home that night we got our anniversary cake out. We were not too sure how it was going to taste because of the flowers on top, but it actually wasn't bad.
