One Year Already?!


I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Eric and I have spent a great year together and have enjoyed this amazing time that God has given us.

Taking a great idea from my brother and sister (thanks i and a), Eric and I are switching anniversaries every other year. Not that he gets to celebrate it one year and me the next, only the planning part. This year he will plan it, the next year it will be my turn. I told him he gets the first year since I planned the wedding. Sound fair?

He did a fantastic job. We headed out and stopped at this small park called, don't laugh, Totem Pole Park. What is Totem Pole Park, you might be asking yourself. Well it is just what it sounds like, a park with a bunch of totem poles. It was nice though. It has the world's largest totem pole over 90 feet high. There was also a nature trail that we went on. Jealous yet?

We next went to the Will Roger's Museum. What a guy!
After visiting Will Roger's Museum we traveled to huge house called 'Belvidere Mansion'. It was a gorgeous old house that is said to be haunted. ooohhh... They also had a little tea room that Eric and I ate lunch in. We then strolled around the house and looked around. The house was a gorgeous three story house. The top floor was a ballroom, the second floor had six bedrooms on it. The first floor had two different parlors and it was all very detailed.

The floors in the mansion were all tiled, but not the tile that we know. The tiles were tiny and had very intricate designs. They had workers come in from Italy to lay the tiles down, which were laid piece by piece. CRAZY!

We then made our way to our destination, Tulsa! We stayed at the Guesthouse Suites and stayed in the Jacuzzi Room. Supposedly we were the first ones to stay in the room...who knows. Eric had big plans for the rest of the weekend. After we got settled we drove to El Chico a cute Mexican restaurant in town and had supper. We then went to Utica Square a super cute shopping center with tons of way cute shops. I had never been to a Williams-Sonoma, but it is my new favorite. They have the coolest stuff.

The next day was the big day.... We started out by going to the Tulsa Zoo. It was awesome. Too bad it was so hot. It was about 92 degrees, but we drank alot and took our time. Even though it was really hot most of the animals were out.

After a long day at the zoo we went back to our room and got ready for the big finale of Eric's trip...the CBR RODEO!!! No way, right!!!? It was awesome. This was Eric's first time to see a rodeo and what an awesome one to go to. Bullriding for 2 hours straight.
We had an incredible time.

Thanks honey, for a wonderful year. I can't wait to surprise you next year. Don't look for an itinerary though!!! hehehe
