Married: ONE YEAR!

March 9th marked our 1 year anniversary!

It was a Saturday...(a perk to getting married on a Friday)

..but we began our celebration on Friday evening.

Since I was nannying at the time, it meant that we couldn't get headed to our "stay-cation" until about 7pm. We packed our bags (and a cooler full of delicious treats and snacks) and headed to Scottsdale. We had a free night in an upgraded room from our Marriott rewards! It was a perfect time to use it!

We grabbed some Jimmy Johns sandwiches (it is one of my FAVORITE places to eat) and we brought our dinner back to the room. We then completed the meal with copious amounts of cookies and some sparkling cider. It was a perfectly romantic and relaxing dinner date.

The next day, we slept in. Oh how joyous that felt after waking up at 5 am every day to nanny. By the time we got up and ready for the day we were dying for some lunch (apparently..cookies for breakfast doesn't hold off hunger very long). We, of course, went to In-N-Out. Another one of our favorite spots.

We shopped in Scottsdale and then headed to our side of town to make plans for dinner. We ended up eating at The Elephant Bar because there was a good deal on a 2 person meal. We had never been there before so it was something new for the both of us.  The dessert was our favorite part. :)

The food was pretty good..I'm not sure we'll RUSH back there to eat..but we enjoyed it.

The company, however.... was great. <3

I cannot believe that it has been a whole year already! It seemed like we were at 5 months just last week...then the holidays hit...then we moved...and BAM! Here we are! 

I am blessed to be married to such a sweet and patient man. 

He knows just what I need and is ready and willing to fill any need that arises.

He is such an amazing provider for our family and I am so grateful that he works so hard for us.

Happy Anniversary, Noor Sabbah. 

I am excited to see what adventures await us in-between every anniversary we share 

from now until eternity.
