~Happy one year wedding anniversary~

We can't believe that it has been a year since we knelt across the alter and were sealed for all time and eternity but it has! We are so happy and lucky in love! I feel like the luckiest girl to have married Adam. We had to teach on our anniversary but Adam made it special and I woke up to breakfast from McDonalds! It was a treat and then Adam and I exchanged gifts! I got him 2 shirts which of course he bargained for. He got me this fabulous white fur cropped jacket and some awesome purple and gray striped fleece thermals. He is the sweetest! Then we went out to a "western" style resturanut and had some good food. Then we went to Beijing for the weekend. Adam planned everything so I didn't have to worry about anything other than what I was going to pack! We took the fast train which was awesome and really nice(especially compared to the cockroach infested trains we usually ride!). We got off the train and Adam surprised me with a bouquet of lillies that our driver was holding. We stayed at the Holiday Inn, which was really nice and they made us feel extremely special. We stayed in an Executive room so we got all the benefits of that! The hotel staff knew our names everywhere we went and always wished a happy wedding anniversary. We recieved gifts almost every time we saw them. Adam did such a great job of planning everything and making me feel loved and special. We went out the first night to an Italian restaurant that was fantastic. You had to have reservations and the food was divine. It was the perfect intimate setting and romantic dinner. The next day we went to the Pearl market! It is always an experience there, but we had so much fun and came home with too many things! That night we went out to TGIFridays which of course was amazing! When we walked into the hotel after dinner they asked us to go to the Salt and Pepper restaurant inside the hotel. They had set up a table in the corner for us with candles and decorations and said, we figured that since you probably didn't get to really celebrate your wedding anniversary in Weifang you would like this. We loved it! They served us some cake and gave Adam a Chinese cut out and gave me 3 dozen roses. The next day we went shopping again and had to buy another suitcase to take it all back to Weifang! Who knows how we will get it back to the states! Adam planned massages but we had to skip that because we spent too long bargaining! We ate at Sizzler and watched the Chinese acrobatic show that night! It was amazing! Adams and I mouths were hanging open the whole time! We could not believe some of the things that they did! Sunday we checked out and the hotel gave us another gift for staying at their hotel. We went to church and braved the bitter cold wind and then got back on the train to come home to snow in Weifang! It was everything a wedding anniversary should be. Adam is so wonderful! We love being married and are so lucky to have eachother. He is my everything! Words can't express my love for him.
