1st Anniversary!!

During our wedding reception we asked our friends & family to help us with suggestions on how to celebrate our first year anniversary! Here are the top results:
1. Travel (many nice suggestions, mostly to go back to the Holy Land for a visit)
2. Participate on a teaching/service project
3. Romantic dinner
4. Have kids (hahaha...)
5. Go mountain biking
6. Go for a mountain hike (and someone suggested to the base of the Everest!!)
7. Give each other something special (one suggestion was of something made by us)
8. Go roller skating
9. Make a contribution/donation
10. Have a pillow fight

Well, we tried to do most of them. We "traveled" from Madison to Land O'Lakes, and that was after having a "romantic lunch" at a Chinese Buffet Restaurant. There was plenty of snow, and snowed more while we were up there, so for all the fun sport suggestions we replace them with down hill skiing and cross-country-skiing. We had a "tickle fight" and we together made special gifts for our families and friends. There were two suggestions we haven't done yet.. but hopefully we will :D

We remembered every single one of you, and thank you for your wonderful notes and cards on our anniversary... Nuri's parents and siblings prepared a very special dinner for us, and decorated the dinning room with a large banner shaped as a hug!! and we thought of all of you who were not there but in spirit.

Durante nuestra reception, pedimos a nuestros amigos y familiares que nos den una mano con sugerencias de como celebrar nuestro primer aniversario! Aqui estan los 10 resultados topes:
1. Viajar (muchas lindas sugerencias, la mayoria de ir de vuelta a la Tierra Santa)
2. Participar de un proyecto de enseñanza / servicio
3. Cena romantica
4. Tener hijos (jajaja...)
5. Ir "mountain biking"
6. Ir a escalar montañas (y alguien sugierio a la base del Everest!!)
7. Regalarnos algo especial (una sugerencia era de algo hecho por nosotros)
8. Ir a patinar
9. Ofrecer una contribucion/donacion
10. Tener una pelea de almohadas

Pues tratamos de llevarlas todas a cabo. "Viajamos" de Madison a Land O'Lakes y eso fue despues de tener un "almuerzo romantico" a un Restaurant Buffet Chino.

Habia mucha nieve y nevo aun mas cuando estuvimos alla arriba, asi que todas las sugerencias deportivas las reemplazamos con esqui, esquiamos bajando la montaña y tambien fuimos "cross-country-skiing". Tuvimos una "pelea de cosquillas" y juntos hicimos regalos especiales para nuestras familias y amigos. Hay dos sugerencias que aun no las hemos llevado a cabo... pero pronto sera! :D

Nos acordamos de cada uno de ustedes y les agradecemos por sus bellas notas y tarjetas por el aniversario... Los padres y hermanos de Nuri prepararon una cena especial para nosotros y decoraron el comedor con un gran cartel en forma de un abrazo!! y pensamos en todos ustedes quienes estaban con nosotros en espiritu.
