The Travis': Ryan, Marissa and Lena: Happy 1st Anniversary Mr and Mrs Travis

WOW................ It has already been a year since our wedding, where does the time go?? Well on Saturday Ryan and I made reservations to stay the night at the Hotel San Carlos where we and alot of you stayed on the night of our wedding. On Friday I had to work and Ryan took the day off due to some meetings that he had, well that threw a wrench in my entire day. Before he took the day off I was going to go to the Hotel and drop off a few things..... Well now that he was off I couldn't. So on Friday I told Ryan I had a very important 'Meeting' to attend, little did he know I was going down to the hotel. I got down to the hotel and dropped off our Wedding Flutes and a Bottle of Champagne. I told the hotel staff that I wanted this to be in our room prior to our arrival. Those of you that know me........... Know that I am a bit obsessive when I want something done right. So they assure me everything will be PERFECT. So Saturday rolls around Ryan and I get ready go to Lunch and then head to the Hotel. Well when we got there and walked into our Suite, which was the same suite we stayed in the night of our wedding (Mae West Suite) I see NO flutes or champagne that I had brought down to them YESTERDAY. So Ryan goes and parks the car and I am on the phone LIVID. They told me they have no idea where the flutes or champagne are, then they said are you sure you brought them? I said am I sure I drove down here in rush hour traffic and lied to my husband........ UM YES I AM SURE. So then they say "Oh here it is' well they forgot and by this time Ryan had made it back to the room and I had to ruin my surprise. He was so touched that I went out of my way to make this night extra special for the both of us. It was so nice to be able to relax just the two of us. No cell phones no nothing. We hung out in the room and relaxed it was an amazing evening.

On Sunday we checked out of the hotel and went to breakfast. Ryan loves the Food Network Channel and there is a show on there called ' Diners Drive-ins and Dives' the host goes all across the country to find these little places that have fantastic food. So they did one in phoenix of a place called 'Matt's Big Breakfast' this place was no bigger than our Spare bedroom. They probably had 10 tables and a counter that sat 6. We waited for 25 minutes for breakfast.... It was the best breakfast we have ever had, well worth the wait. So if any of you make it to Phoenix again we must go. We also did a little shopping then headed home. We had dinner reservations at the Compass Room, which is a revolving restaurant on top of the Hyatt downtown Phoenix this is the placed Ryan proposed at. We had an amazing dinner, the view is phenomenal and in just 55 minutes you will go 360 degrees. We saw the Chase Building where we had our reception and the hotel. After dinner Ryan and I cam home where we ate the top tier of our wedding cake. Our Bakery re-created the top tier for us rather than freezing it, it was so yummy. I still can't believe we have been married for a year already the year flew by so fast. We are looking forward to what 2009 has to bring us.
