Will and I celebrated our first year anniversary last Monday. May 5, 2007 we got hitched and it was the coolest wedding ever so we had to celebrate a year later with a pretty awesome trip to match. We are very short on money these days so we decided to stay at his parents’ beach house in Sunset Beach and take a day trip to Charleston.
Staying at the beach house was great beause we’ve never been down there by ourselves. 
We’re usually with the whole family when we are able to go. Here is a picture of the living room. The house is actually on a golf course a couple miles from the beach but we managed to get completely sun burnt anyway. We spend four hours on the beach Thursday and since it was cold and cloudy, we both roasted. Crazy how that works.
Friday we woke up and drove a long three hours to Charleston. On the way we stopped and purchased a fashionable hat to protect my face and shoulders from the sun. It was too hot to wear sleeves so a hat was a necessity. I got some interesting looks but hey, I didn’t roast anymore so it was well worth it. We walked for a few hours and saw all the cute little things that make up Charleston. Oh, on our way in we accidentally took one wrong turn and ended up in the hood. It was scary even at 12:00 i
n the afternoon. We made sure to stay clear of those streets while walking around. All in all it was a whole lot of fun! Check out my hat!
Saturday we woke up and had to clean for quite a while before leaving. Everyone that stays at the house has a strict list of chores before you can leave. If the next visitors don’t think you did a good job cleaning you’re not aloud to come back! So we vacuumed, cleaned bathrooms, washed sheets and towels, brought in the deck furniture and all that good stuff for a couple hours. Then we managed to get on the road where I was able to sleep peacefully most of the way home. My family has always picked on my ability to sleep in cars. My dad always says I would be asleep before he got out of the driveway when I was little. I don’t know what it is but you get me in a car, especially in the sunshine, and I’m out cold for quite a while.
So anway, we had a great anniversary. We’re still recovering from the amount of sunburn we received but at least we’ll be looking really really tan for quite a while afterward.
