2 years..happy anniversary!

This post like most of them is very late. Jon and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary on August 26th. Since both of us were working that day, we decided to wait until labor day to do something. The Sunday before labor day Jon surprised me with our anniversary plans. Late in the afternoon he told me to pack my bags b/c we were leaving for the night. He drove me up to Santa Barabara, which was a gorgeous drive up the california coast, and we spent Sunday night and all day Monday in that beautiful city. Santa Barbara instantly became our new favorite city. It felt like we were thousands of miles away from home. We had a perfect day, doing all the free things we could fit in, and just enjoying being together.

We stayed in a cute little hotel in downtown Santa Barbara.

Our fist stop was the Santa Barbara Missions.







Then off to the beach to do some whale watching. Nope, we didn't see any..I was even doing my whale calls.



What a gorgeous coastline!


We found a shop that made shaved ice with icecream at the bottom...our favorite!





Relaxing on the beach...it was soooo nice!


We had an amazing time. Thanks babe for the best surprise! It's been an wonderful journey so far, and I know it will even get better. I am so glad to have you by my side!
