Anniversary Trip to Disneyland- November 2008

Disneyland Trip

So for our anniversary, Ryan surprised me very well. Which is hard to do, because I snoop so much. He planned this little trip a month before our anniversary so I wasn't expecting this. He told me he wanted to go to Bryce Canyon, so I packed for Bryce Canyon, then he started driving to the airport and I was surprised when I found out we were flying to Long Beach, California.
So I lost my wedding ring about 2 months ago, so Ryan arranged for us to get our picture drawn at Disneyland by the workers there, and he arranged for them to be in on his little surprise for his "girlfriend". So they drew his picture first and then added me next and wrote on the bottom "Will you marry me?" I looked at the picture and was so surprised and then Ryan got down on one knee and proposed to me AGAIN, with a different ring! It looks exactly like my old ring except has a few upgrades. It was so sweet and beautiful. It was funny because all of these people had gathered around looking at this picture and then at us when Ryan proposed again. They all started clapping and cheering at us when I said YES again. I feel so lucky to have such a thoughtful, loving husband, he is such a sweetheart! Love you Precious!

This is the drawing of us "Getting Engaged"

Huntington Beach

Us with Mickey

My favorite window display

So, Disneyland has had a tradition since its opening of creating window displays. This was so neat. Because Disney recently released these following movies out of the vault, they used their original window displays from the 1940's. I especially love Pinocchio!

Ryan left his birth certificate so he was stuck on the American side, so I ran over to the Canadian side for an hour to get some pictures from the Canadian side. All I can say is America is the BEST!!!

In the Sacred Grove

We felt so lucky that we had the opportunity to come here, we spent a few days in the city and then drove to Palmyra. It was our favorite part of our trip. It is a beautiful place.

The Sacred Grove

The Smith Cabin

This cabin is the actual cabin built by Alvin Smith. It was so neat to be able to stand in the actual structure that the Smith family lived in and to see the actual fireplace where Joseph Smith hid the plates.

I am the luckiest person alive

So I really have always been extremely lucky since I can remember I always am the one to win the drawings for prizes, etc... Anyway, Ryan and I really wanted to see Wicked so we entered the lottery along with about 100 or more other people and I WON!!!!! Front row seats for $25.00 a piece which usually cost $250.00 a piece, so YES I AM LUCKY!!!!! And Wicked was amazing!
