A Year Since I Do...

It's official. Our very first wedding anniversary is this weekend. It's really hard to believe it's already been a year. A lot has changed since a year ago, but it's always been an adventure and I'm sure there are many more adventures to come.

Even with the incredibly cold weather here these last two months, we've been keeping busy.
My brother John came up to KC early in January. We decided to head up to Snow Creek Ski "resort" (not quite colorado, but it will have to do this year!) We actually had a perfect day! It was still cold enough for the snow to still be pretty decent, but it was sunny too, so we could actually bear being outside.

Here's John. Psyched as ever to hit the mountain.

Here we are after a long day of skiing. We tried to look cool and snow board too. Let's just say we didn't do either. We barely lasted on the snowboards for 30 minutes. Shawn White makes it look so darn easy, I don't get it!

In early February, we headed to Fulton to celebrate a big birthday with Jeff's mom, Carol.
It was a fun time, with great food! The cake in the picture was some AMAZING carrot cake.
And we just happened to have the surprise birthday party at Bek's (which also has some AMAZING food.) Good choice Bruce on the party locale. :)

In February, our friend Brett came to visit for a quick trip!
We had a great time hanging out with him. We drove with him to Columbia
and met up with a few other friends. Here are Brett and Jaclyn after
our group dinner at a Mexican restaurant in Columbia
(apparently admiring a cactus outside the restaurant.)

As we were saying goodbye to Brett on Sunday! Come back to Missouri soon!

More pictures coming soon! Yay for one year!

Until next time from Kansas,

the newlyweds (with one year under our belts.)
