Make way for the Segway!

George and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary a little early (we were married June 7th) but we won't be together on the actual day so we decided to have a pre-party!


This past year has been quite eventful and has flown by for both of us. We've really enjoyed 'married life' and look forward to the many years to come! Here are 7 highlights from the past year, not in any particular order:
  1. Our honeymoon on Kauai...the closest we've come to paradise.
  2. Taking George to Colorado for our autumn cider-pressing tradition.
  3. Helping out on the Melling farm, George especially enjoyed getting his hands dirty for branding.
  4. Rafting the Deschutes in Oregon.
  5. Celebrating our first Christmas together in Crescent City, CA.
  6. Helping Jody & Alison (George's bro and sis-in-law) work on their new home in Canada.
  7. Getting George into heli pilot school!
To celebrate our first, we drove up to New Smyrna Beach (if you watch Hell's Kitchen, that is where the winner Danny used to live and was head chef there at Flip Flops Grill and Chill). We started the day by taking a nice stroll on the beach.

After that came the segway tour! For those of you who don't know what a segway is...it's basically a self-balancing two-wheeler. It has four gyroscopes inside and you use weight on your toes or heels to propel the segway and there is a 'steering stick' of sorts to go right and left. They are REALLY easy to drive and George only wished that he could have gone faster. It was pretty fun, although I don't think we're ready to spend the $5,000 to buy one!



We then enjoyed burgers on the beach and ended the evening watching Night at the Museum (Smithsonian), there were definitely funny parts, but we liked the first one better.

It's hard to believe that a year ago at this time we were preparing to get married. What a wonderful year it has been! I'm so glad that George is my husband, he brings so much happiness into my life and I love being married to him! We are truly so blessed and feel very grateful for our little family.
