Anniversary

Yeah, yeah, it's a little late, but everything I write is ALWAYS late. So, that fact that Clayton and I still haven't received quality pictures back of our wedding is an entirely different story that, if you get me into it, you'll hear a lot of yelling and probably a little swearing. But, because of that side story, we still didn't have quality temple wedding pictures almost an entire year after our wedding. So, when Mom called up and joked about Clayton and I coming down over Memorial Day weekend, it got me thinking. Okay, it would be fun to go out on the Seados, with a summer as busy as we had planned, this probably would be the only time we would have to go to California, and since I own my wedding dress and Clayton owns his Tux, we could totally redo our wedding pictures.
It was a pretty done deal after doing those short calculations. Although, Clayton (adorable as he is) informed me on the ride down that I didn't have to factor in the one where we would be able to go down to California any other time because had already planned on kidnapping me and taking me down to see my family.
It was a pretty crazy weekend. Friday after school and work we drove down to California. We drove all night (good thing I married someone who can drive at night, because I hate it). We got to mom and dad's early Saturday morning. We slept for a couple hours, but then it was on to Mission Bay for some Seado-ing. We had a blast with Mom, Dad, Kim, Ben, and the boys. Turns out that Clayton doesn't really enjoy the Seados, and part of it is that he doesn't like riding on the back while I go over wakes and do donuts. Eh... hopefully he'll get over that ;o) After Seadoing it was off to Kim's house to get showered, dressed, and ready. In the spirit of redoing pictures, I was sunburned for this photo session too. I don't know how it happens, I did apply sunscreen. My make-up did a pretty good job of hiding the red, I thought, and even made it look like I was oober tan. Kim drove us down to the temple and we spent some time scoping out some good photo opportunities. It really didn't take all that long to get some good shots in, and it was way less climatic than last time. But... duh... last time was my actual wedding day. After the temple, Kim wanted to take pictures by the beach. Not too many of those turned out, but we did get some good shots there too. Now we can say that we have some very awesome wedding pictures. There's no family in them, but it's more than we had before.
Sunday we went to church and had family dinner, Dana and Josh made it back from their vacation so we had a chance to visit with them for a little while. Then we left on Monday to drive back. It was a very nice little "pre-anniversary" trip.
