2 years of marriage

Today Jon and I celebrate our 2nd year wedding anniversary.  YAY for 2 years!!!!  Jon did an amazing job surprising me last year, which you should read about HERE.

Jon has made dinner reservations for us, but I'm not sure where we are going, because I asked him to surprise me, because I love surprises! :)

This year for our 2nd year anniversary, I've decided to do a lil recap of our honeymoon, which I wish we could go back to every year! Maybe someday ;)

For our honeymoon, Jon and I headed to Playa Del Carmen and stayed at the Royal resort.  We had such a great time!

Here is little run down! (or maybe long because it's full of pictures!)

Mr. Burns & I when we 1st arrived in Mexico, ready to enjoy our honeymoon!

Dinner at a sushi themed restaurant

After dinner, we decided to check out their downtown area.  Our resort was just a few steps away, and I wanted Jon to experience the Mexican culture.  We found this super cute bar, and had to stop in for a drink because their table settings were just too cute and I wanted to sit at the pink table! :)

Our resort had a 24 hour buffet stocked with food & drinks, so this was always our last stop before heading back to our room.

Jon and I also got to enjoy some relaxing massages!  They were so wonderful and such a great start to a very relaxing honeymoon!

We found an awesome restaurant with some delicious tacos! (We pretty much ate there everyday!) 

Jon & I still talk about how awesome these tacos were! We will make sure to head back here when we go back to Mexico.

That night Jon and I checked out the italian restaurant at the resort, we sat outside and were joined by this lil guy...

Of course we spent some time at the beach, so wonderful! 

Such an awesome Mexico drink! :)

Enjoying the steak house, which was our favorite resort restaurant!

One of my favorite parts of our honeymoon was when we went on a full day adventure.  We went zip-linning, repelling, snorkeling and then we also went and check out Tulum! The great thing about these adventures, is that there were photographers there to capture everything for us.  So I was very happy that we got to go home and a CD full of picutres :)

Mr. Burns hanging out in the trees!

Flying Wendy!!!!

Repelling

I was a little worried about this.  We were in a cave with bats! And I have a fear of water and sticking my head in the water, but I did it and survived.  Im really glad that I did it too!

The beaches at Tulum were so pretty and the water was so clear and warm, we loved it! 

We also saw lots of these lil guys hanging out enjoying the sun

Jon also got to go back to our hotel with this scary souvenir!  This one now lives in his room :)

Oh and we also spent lots of time by the pool and even finished the book I brought with me and started a 2nd, aagghh bliss! :)

On another day, we felt adventurous again and decided to go parasailing, which was amazing! Such a fun & amazing experience! I loved flying up in the air with Jon watching everything below.  

One night, we decided to go out and check out "Coco Bongo" such a fun time! We didn't get back to our room until 3am.  But it was SO worth it! Something else I would love to do again with my lovie! 

The Burns at our last dinner before heading back to reality.  We got treated to a fancy 8 course meal, and I even had seafood and enjoyed it! This was also one of the last pictures I was able to take, because I was super smart and forgot our camera charger back at home :( But we were able to make the battery last our entire honeymoon!

Jon and I have had such an jam packed year! We celebrated our 1st year anniversary in Seattle, then packed up our lives and moved to California, and guess what??!!! Its happening all over again! At the end of August Jon and I will be packing up and moving to a whole new state, don't worry, Ill have a full blog post on whats next for us!   Crazy how life works, but I am so happy to be experiencing all of this with  my very best friend! 

I love you forever Mr. Burns.  You truly make my heart happy and make me feel like a true princess!

Bonus dinner time!

Last Tuesday night, Jon and I got to dress up and celebrate all of his hard work and celebrated at his bonus dinner!! Jon’s regional manager flew in from Utah, and took Jon and I and also Jon’s area manager, Tom, out to dinner at Morton’s steakhouse.  We had such a great time, and I was VERY happy that I got to wear my new dress from Mod Cloth, that I got as my stylish surprise.  I’ll be honest, and when I first received the dress, I did not like it! But then I tried it on, and added a belt, and now I love the dress! Lol.  It can be worn with heels like I did on Tuesday night for a fancy look, or I can wear it with leggings and my tan boots for a more casual look, so awesome!

So proud of my man! 

Anyway back to our dinner.  We had a really great time, and it was really nice to have a special dinner for Jon and  recognize him  for all of his hard work from the past year.  He totally deserved it  because he works so hard for his company, and his company is so great about valuing and treat their employees well.  And of course, the dinner could not be complete without his regional manager handing over a nice check to Jon J  Jon wants to be responsible with the money, which we should be BUT we also should use a little bit of it to treat ourselves to a fun weekend getaway or even better vacation! Lol. 

The jumbo shrimp cocktail, SO good! 

Me, Jon, Tom (Jon's area manager), & Robert (The regional manager)

Weekend update!

I gotta say, Jon and I had a very fun filled weekend!!! I love that its now November and the sun is still shinning bright here in San Jose, and the fact that we are able to still enjoy outdoor activities without the fear of rain! Yay to California!

Anyway, here is a run down of our adventurous weekend!

Friday night was a low key night for us.  But we did head into Campbell and checked out their town, walked around and found a ton of cute lil shops.  We will definitely be heading back there another time!

We found this really candy store, and I was in HEAVEN!!! They had so much candy everywhere, I didn't know where to look! Of course, I headed straight to the Hello Kitty section :)  I want to take my niece's and nephews here when they visit, that would love it!

 After the candy store excitement, we headed to dinner at Chacho's Taco. This place was really cool and the food was great, but you definitely have to be the mood to party when there.  They have loud music and TV's playing sports.  I wasn't in the mood for such a loud place Friday night, so we weren't there for too long, but we will def go back there and enjoy some margaritas!

Their ceiling! I want to have a ceiling like this in our house someday! 

All of their ceiling lights were loteria cards, so cool! 

Saturday, I got to relax and spend time by myself, while Jon met up with his friend and headed to Berkley for the Duck game.

I got to catch up my shows and enjoy this yummy bottle of wine! 

Sunday was our most fun filled day! It was a cold but sunny morning, so I made Jon and I some warm apple cider....

I love these mugs! Jon's lil brother & his girlfriend got us these when Jon and I got engaged.

After breakfast, we decided to hit the town and explore.  

Days are always better with colored jeans and leopard print shoes!  

This is our view as we leave our apartment.

Even though we are far from Oregon, its nice to see the pretty fall colors!

 We decided to head to the coast, so we headed towards Monterey beach, and I'm so glad that we did because we had so much fun!  And it was only about an hour away, I love that we live so close to such awesome locations.

One of our views when we 1st arrived

 We arrived and realized that they were having a car show, so we decided to check it out..

Some of the cars had these cute little set ups! Wish I could of grown in that era!

 I instantly spotted the pink car and headed right to it!

I tried to get a picture of all of the cars and set up but this was the best I could do.

 After walking around, I spotted a cute little candy store, so we checked it out

Laffy taffy 

I love that all of the candy was displayed in barrels

Who remembers these??! 

Of course they have the round up on some of the boxes, lol 

I used to love these when I was a kid

I had to snap a picture of these.  I would be too chicken to actually try one, but I wonder how they taste!

Get it? #2 Pencils? 

I WILL own a pink car some day! The sign hanging from the mirror says "Pink isn't just a color, its an attitude!" Love it!   I actually have that sign too...

We also decided to do some wine tasting, thats always a fun activity! 

 After all of the fun, we walked down the pier to find some dinner...

Such a pretty view as the sun was setting

This was at another candy store, check out the machine in the upper left corner, how cool is that!?

 We finally stopped in at "Domenico's" for dinner, and man it was good!!! I'm not much of a seafood fan, but we had fried calamari and it was so good! Jon also had bacon wrapped scallops, which I didn't like, no thank you! The bacon was good though! lol  We had a window seat and this was our view.....

I couldn't stop taking pictures of the sea lions and pelicans.  It was so cool that they were so close to us as we ate dinner.

It was a great weekend and I cannot wait for this weekend so we can do some more exploring!
