Where’s my paper? Our one-year anniversary.
Today is day 367 of wedded bliss with Sajan. 367 days down, a lifetime to go.
Traditionally, gifts of paper are exchanged on the first-year anniversary. We opted for a weekend getaway in good ol’ San Antonio, Texas.
In one year, we’ve traveled to Oklahoma, Dallas, Arizona and parts of Houston for three engagement ceremonies and nine weddings. We bought a house and mowed the lawn. We planted fruit trees and flowers in the yard. Sajan painted the half bath bright red. We explored the world of cooking, which included bouts of a smoke-filled house. The burger committee commenced. What odd highlights, right?
Here are a few photos from our first-anniversary weekend.
Our first rodeo together.
The River Walk view from our hotel, Omni's La Mansion del Rio.
A visit to Natural Bridge Caverns. I have a photo identical to this one from YEARS ago.
We trekked 140 feet below the ground. Pretty amazing!
Inside the gorgeous Mission San Jose courtyard. The mission is one of many in a state historical park.
Outside the chapel of Mission San Jose
If you're ever in San Antonio, the Institute for Texan Cultures (on the right) is a must-see.
Music in Texas has a million influences: Greek, Japanese, Chinese, German, Czech and so on...The instruments are displayed on either side of Sajan.
The best enchiladas, tamales and tacos ever at Mi Tierra in Market Square
A night of Jazz at Cullum's Landing on the River Walk.
One of many River Walk meals. Our favorite place: Boudro's (not pictured here).

The 4-year-olds doing the Mutton Bustin’ are SO cute. They look terrified! I don’t think they know what they’re in for when they hop on that sheep…
