One YEAR STRONGER....Forever more to go <3

We celebrated our anniversary on Monday. Crazy to think that it has already been a year. Went by so quickly, but I guess the saying is right, "Time Flies, when you are havin fun". That's what we do and that's how we roll. Manuel is always so active he keeps me pretty busy. Laughing at his funny jokes, stories he tells and the memories we share. I love this guy and I am glad that I chose to be with him for the rest of my life :) Let me tell ya, I definitely agree with whoever told me marriage isn't a cakewalk, it has been difficult at times but we have gotten thru the mud and let me tell ya, I have learned a lot from him and how stubborn I have been, but in the end we always still and forever will love each other. Now this may come as a shocker to everyone but I wanted to go camping...don’t ask me where it came from because if you know me, well not having a bed and running water isn't exactly what I call FUN. But I really wanted to go and what better time than for our anniversary to go camping. I waited for him Sunday to get done paintballing then we headed out, I was so excited I got everything put together. I wanted to take the four-wheeler but our ramps are not at our house and well lifting the thing into the back of the truck was out of the question but I chuckled as he tried (Love ya babe) We went up towards Idaho City, some guys told us to go to Robie Creek but I felt like we would have been camping in someone’s back yard or that some strange thing might eat us alive, so we turned out of there and went more towards Idaho City, about 17 miles before we saw a couple campers and thought we would give this road a try, LUCKY US, we landed a sweet site for the night right by the water :) We set the tent up, got the fire going *and let me add...the fire this guy can make is pretty amazing*, played a few rounds of Phase 10 and then something hit me and I was ready to go home, I was dealing okay with the little bugs but when a big bug hit me, I decided I like camping until the bugs come out...gross....but I managed thru the night. Manuel was laughing because well let me tell you some interesting yet random facts of myself...I don’t like sunscreen unless it's coconut scented...and I still hate the feel of it on my skin, and I for a FACT hate the smell and feel of insect repellent on my skin...so imagine me getting sprayed...what little I even spray on...but as the husband said to me...it's either this or West Nile...okay so I let him spray a little more but I still was...I don’t know what word to use but it's disgusting. So We cooked ourselves up some mighty fine camping food....Foil Dinners. We love them :) then we had some delicious s’mores, after...I mean way after dinner was over and we were thinking to ourselves how are we going to roast the marshmallows? we don’t have any twigs, I don’t think the tree branches with green/yellowish stuff would have settled very well in our stomach and well...I wouldn't have done that anyway...ahh...we brought a knife for protection, lets use that...oh the s’mores were ohhhh so delicious and well worth the thinking and wait :) Monday we woke up, ate some cinnamon twists that I made and some yogurt then packed up and decided we would drive more down the road to see what it was all about, well come to find out we found some awesome camping sites. One that I like to call "Creek side property" it was perfect, so next time we go, I would like to go there then I can let my feel play in the water and not worry what bugs might be crawling out of the bushes next to me. You see that's how our original camp site was; it was this little tiny area you could walk thru to get to the water but to close to the bushes for me. We also found a beach area that when MOM and DAD come up to Boise with the BOAT,and the rest of the gang, they have a boat dock and a beach sandy area that would work great, a blocked off shallow area and its more secluded but I also saw more private boat docks that would work too, I just love the sand on my feet :). We made it home safe and sound...nothing happened to us camping...which we were a little worried camping alone but we survived and will hopefully do it again. We went to the movie later in the day GET SMART....love the movie..Steve is just a funny man. We then finished the night off by going to dinner at the ICHIBAN.. YUMMY!!!! I LOVE BEING MARRIED, I LOVE BEING A WIFE AND MOST OF ALL I LOVE JOSE MANUEL, CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT FOREVER WITH YOU!!!! I LOVE YOU TO THE MOON AND BACK MANUEL

What a cute post. I'm proud of you for going. You have me itching to go camping. Maybe we could all go when we come back from Moscow. I'm glad you married such a charming fella too! He makes a fantastic brother-in-law.

You are adorable! My husband kept asking me, "What's so funny?" while I was reading this entry... apparently I kept giggling. You're funny. And I also like to read about how happy you are. It makes me happy and hopeful too.

Congrats on the first year. Chels, you crack me up. I can't wait to live in Boise in a year so we can hang out again. I love that you guys brought a knife for protection in Boise ID. Just between us, how were the warm Zimas? Ha ha ha
