A different kind of workout

My dear friend Traci is a fitness pole dancing instructor and she invited us over to her house to teach me and Emma a few workout routines. (fat burning, muscle building workout routines...nothing else) Let me just say that pole dancing is HARD! She is an expert and was doing the craziest moves! I don't know how she does it. Anyway, I consider myself to be pretty athletic and when she showed us "simple" moves I thought to myself, "oh this should be no problem, I should be able to do that." It was the exact opposite! I was so tired after our hour lesson...and sore. Lets just say I have a new respect for people who can do it and make it look graceful. It was super fun, and a great workout. I can't wait to do it again! Thanks Traci!

Notice my sweat? (I'm sure you do, its hard to miss) It was a tough workout

On Wednesday Brad and I celebrated our first anniversary together! It was such a fun day. We both had work and school all day but at 7pm we got to celebrate our day together. I made Brad a big fancy dinner and we just hung out and talked about our wedding day. After dinner we watched our wedding video, that was my favorite part. It was so fun to see us so happy and in love...not much has changed since then :) After the video we ate some of our cake from our wedding. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that it actually tasted really good. We got a fresh cake from the reception center and we ate some of that too, they really didn't taste all that different. They were both delicious, pumpkin chocolate chip cake is the best! Brad brought home beautiful roses that looked just like the ones from my bouquet, he is so thoughtful!
On friday we went downtown to Little America (where we stayed on our wedding night) and spent the weekend there. We ate at an italian place called Biagi's which was delicious. We walked around downtown and looked at little shops along the way. We went swimming and hot tubbing and Saturday morning ate at the cute little restaurant inside the hotel. It was perfect! I honestly feel like the luckiest girl! Being married to Brad is the best, he is the perfect husband and treats me like a princess everyday! He always makes me laugh and I just feel so special when I'm around him. We were definitely made for each other, and he really is my other half! Thanks for the best 365 days, I love you babe!
