Austin Anniversary

Adam and I have been married a year! In many ways it has gone by really quickly, though when I think about the different jobs we have had and the different places we have lived and visited this year, it seems hard to believe that it has only been a year. I'm so grateful to be married to Adam. Marrying him was the best choice I have ever made.

To celebrate our anniversary, we went to foodie paradise--Austin, Texas. Adam said "the trip was worth it just for the breakfast tacos."

Austin is a beautiful city. We can add it to our short list of places we'd enjoy living. It has such a fun vibe. We enjoyed canoeing on Lady Bird Lake that runs right through downtown. It's so peaceful that it's hard to believe you are in the middle of a city. We saw over 100 turtles both on the banks and in the river.

For our anniversary we went to the San Antonio temple. The temple has so many beautiful and ornate stained glass windows.We enjoyed doing sealings in Spanish as a way to celebrate our sealing a year ago.  

We met up with M'kynzi and she gave us a tour of San Antonio. Our first stop was the San Jose Mission. It's the largest and best preserved of the missions around San Antonio. The mission was founded in 1720.

We visited the Alamo of course. They were celebrating 179 years since the Alamo, so basically it was Texas Disneyland. They even had reenactments on the grounds. We were surprised by how small the Alamo was and by the fact that it is right in downtown.

Last we visited San Fernando Cathedral and walked the River Walk.
