Moab and 1 Year Anniversary!!!

This year for spring break, some of our friends decided to go to Moab! Since our anniversary is during spring break, we thought we would hang out with our friends, but go do our own thing on our anniversary.

We drove to Moab on Wednesday and ended up leaving a lot later than we had planned. So we found ourselves in a blizzard through Price Canyon and we could hardly see the road. It was really scary! But then it cleared up and we finally reached Moab! We were all really tired when we got there so we went straight to bed.

The next morning it was hard to get up and going considering the weather wasn't all that great and we had been driving so long the night before. But we finally got up and drove to Arches National Park! We decided to just play around at Windows arches for awhile and here are some pictures we took there.

The next day we did the Firey Furnace! This is the best part of the trip but the scariest. The Firey Furnace is made up of a series of fins which are basically tall towers of slick rock that we climb up and down. It's basically a maze! There are no trails so you never know where you're going to end up or how you will get out, but it's lots of fun! Here are some pictures!

The third day we went to visit Corona. This is the arch that is known for repelling and an airplane actually flew through it once! I was way too scared to repell, so me and a few other people just watched the others. The second picture is Josh repelling! He said it was really scary walking up to the arch, but repelling wasn't as scary as the approach. The third picture is silly, but it was really cool because a railroad track went through this area and it looked really neat!

On our anniversary we stayed at a hotel and went to dinner together. Then Josh surprised me with a cake! You know how usually you eat the top of your wedding cake on your first anniversary? Well Josh and I didn't save ours, so he had his mom (who made our wedding cake) make us another little cake for our anniversary! I thought it was really thoughtful and a fun idea! And I just gave Josh a silly coupon book that I made. We had so much fun, and I'm so happy that we got to go and that we made it back safely! Also, I'm so grateful to have the best husband in the whole world and I'm so happy to be married to him for eternity! He is my best friend and I can't imagine life without him. :)
