Monument Valley & the Grand Canyon- Anniversary Trip

I Can't believe it, we actually remembered our camera. I must say, our anniversary is very well documented. We decided to head up North to Monument Valley and then hit up the Grand Canyon on our way back to PHX. Here are several photos from our 1st anniversary adventure!

We saw this monster on our way out of town. Can we say small penis? (Crude I know. But it's true.)



The View Hotel directly facing The Mittens and all of Monument Valley.


We're so in love! Posing with The Mittens.

Just a pretty photo


Looks like an add for a Nissan commercial, don't you think?


Thoughtfully gazing


Hi Clark! Driving through the Monument.


The Totem Pole


We basically have professional photography skills



We thought this dog was dead...until it woke up when we took the picture.



Absolutely awesome, unobstructed view of The Mittens from our hotel balcony


View from the restaurant


It snowed Monday night, and this is what we woke up to when we stepped out on the balcony the next morning!


The Grand Canyon! Clark is meditating hardcore...


Oh my gosh, Clark, don't let go!


Oh my gosh, somehow I managed to get myself into the same predicament!


Clark doing his infamous pose


Nice framing with the tree, babe!


Yep, we sure did have a good time seeing awesome sights! It was a great anniversary trip!

One Year Down...

Happy 1st Anniversary to us!!


We're happy. Really. We are. :)

Upcoming Anniversary Trip Change

Our anniversary is this weekend. We are not going to SIX FLAGS anymore due to work/school commitments.

LAME

So instead we have a back up plan that should prove very fun and exciting. And since we love the outdoors it should be well worth the journey. We will post pictures when we return! That is, if we remember our camera!

Quality Furniture at...Fry's Marketplace???

Earlier today I was at Fry's running some errands (Fry's is the equivalent of Kroger, or a store that uses the Kroger brand, for those of you who don't live in AZ). On my way out I noticed some end tables. I have been looking on craigslist for a nice wooden end table but even in this economic crisis people are asking way, way too much for their cheap furniture. So Clark and I went back to Fry's a little later to get some chocolate milk and look at the end table. Clark was skeptical of the quality, but the box was heavy. I knew it would be a good purchase.

$20 and some assembling later....

We have an extremely nice end table for our bedroom! And it is real wood, not that particle board stuff that ikea sells. Woo hoo for good buys!

A Little Spring Cleaning?

We've been letting Gretchen wander outside a little more lately. Apparently she rolled in dirt somewhere around the house and came in completely filthy! So we did what good parents should do: we bathed our little girl.

She's frightened and helpless.


We actually tried to blow dry her as well. She tolerated it quite well.

My New Running Buddy

I just purchased this little gem:

It's a Polar rs200sd heart rate monitor! It comes with a chest transmitter strap and a foot pod to gauge my distance, pace and heart rate! I can't wait for the little guy to get here! Quite an investment but I am hopeful that my training will drastically improve. Since I can't do all of my workouts and runs with my friend/coach Jenna, this will be the next best thing!
