Saturday, June 6, 2009 marks our 3 year anniversary! It has been a lot of ups and downs but the important part is that we made it and we could not be happier. Michael has taught me a lot about myself and how I can be a better person and I feel that I have done the same for him as well. It was a beautiful night, we ate at Macaroni Grill and had a lovely dinner. Then the next day we continued the celebration at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Phil Sandoval's! It was a great weekend filled with a lot of love! We decided not to get each other presents this year and instead save our money for the beach trip with my parents June 20-27th! We are so excited because my whole family will be able to attend including Michael and my brother's girlfriend, Aimee!
Well it is officially summer and with the heat scorching what better way to spend a week than at the beach! My family (Mom, Dad, Joey, Aimee, Michael, & Me) all headed down from June 20-26th drove down to the sunny gulf at Orange Beach, AL. This is the first family vacation to the beach in a long time and we all had a blast! We stayed at an adorable 3 bedroom condo right on the beach! Joey and Michael shared the bedroom with two twin beds and Aimee and I shared a double bed in the other bedroom while my parents had an amazing suite bedroom. It had a full kitchen, a large den, and a big patio facing the ocean. It was beautiful! We played board games, Taboo, Battle of the Sexes and watched the movie The Uninvited. We had an Alabama Tent set up on the beach and soaked up a lot of sun. It only rained one afternoon. On the second to last day we had a photo shoot for the family on the beach. For Mother's Day I had ask Faith Photography to do a photo session on the beach of the family for my Mom's gift! On the last day we went on a 14 hour deep sea fishing excursion with two other families that my dad works with. It was a well needed week of R&R!!! Here are some pics!
