First Wedding Anniversary

Earlier this month, Jeff and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. We spent the Friday before (July 31st) at Johnson's Mill, the bed and breakfast in Midway where we spent our honeymoon. We were planning on going hiking on Saturday, but it turned out to be a pretty hot afternoon, so we just came back and relaxed at home.
This is the Mount Timpanogos room, where we stayed last year and this year.
Here's a side shot of Johnson Mill.
You can walk around on the grounds and see sights like this. There are also deer on the grounds, but I didn't get a good picture.
This is the porch where they serve you breakfast in the morning.

As gifts, Jeff and I gave each other pictures. Jeff painted a picture of the Bountiful Temple. It is pictured below - I apologize that my computer chose to rotate it. Isn't he amazingly talented?
I hired Jill Buckmiller, the art teacher at La Europa, to draw the picture below. It is based on a photograph (also below) taken at our wedding that Jeff and I both love. But, as you can see in the photograph, there were several things in the background that detracted from the picture. So I thought it would be cool to have the picture drawn of just us. It turned out really well.



All in all, it was a wonderful first anniversary, just like it's been a wonderful first year.
