1 Year....already

Neither Scott nor I can believe it have been one year since our wedding....all last week we kept saying what were you doing at this time last year :)

To celebrate our anniversary we spent the weekend at a wonderful resort (Tradewinds Island Grand) in St. Pete Beach. It is west of Tampa and St. Petersburg on the gulf. The resort was way more than we could ask for...5 pools, paddle boats, cabanas on the beach, room over looking the gulf and of course fruity cocktails.

We started our weekend with a 2 hour drive to the beach. We ended up stopping for dinner at a local spot on a canal where we both had fabulous meals. Scott had blackened red snapper and I had lightly breaded shrimp and scallops.

















Here was our view while we were eating dinner

We then headed to the resort...checked in and hit the beach/pool (where we stopped for our first fruity cocktail). We were just in time to see the sunset which was just perfect.

Saturday we were up and to the beach. We got a cabana and the relaxation continued. We also decided to rent a paddle board which is a over sized surf board that you stand on and paddle. It was so fun and quite the work out. This may be a purchase in the future for us (I can actually stand up on it unlike surfing).




















Of course we took a lunch break around 2:00 to watch the USA vs England game. We were not the only people who decided to take a late lunch. We then headed back to the beach till the evening. We went to Crabby Bills for dinner. Neither of us were happy with our meals :(

Sunday we got up, got our cabana and then went paddle boating. The resort has a little stream where you could paddle boat through. We got about half way through and were bored so we turned around...hahaha. We then had another relaxing day at the beach and packed up and headed home mid day.

The weekend was more than relaxing and a wonderful way to celebrate our first year together :)

We also had another reason to celebrate............I got a JOB!!!!! A real JOB. We are both so excited!! I start on July 6th! I am going to be an Admissions Rep at a college. I will get to help students apply to college and help them through the whole college experience!
