Our 1st Anniversary in Globe, AZ

For our one-year wedding anniversary, John and I traveled across the country for my friend April's wedding. She and her husband Marcus were married at a beautiful bed and breakfast in Globe, Arizona.

John and I enjoyed wonderful views on our drive from Phoenix into Globe. The desert is so pretty, and the weather was sunny and in the high 70's.
After settling into our room, John and I took a quick hike around the bed and breakfast. It was so fun to get to be with John again.
Here are April and Marcus the night before their wedding. They held a traditional Apache dinner for everyone. It was very good, and John and I were able to meet Marcus's Mom and family.
This amazing sunset greeted us around 6:30 am on the morning of April's wedding.
Since John and I had the whole day to ourselves before the ceremony, we visited Salt River Canyon, and Tonto National Monument. The views were terrific. I love exploring new things and places with John.
Here are the lower cliff dwellings once inhabited by the Salado people nearly 700 years ago. They were able to adapt to the desert climate and grow corn, beans, and cotton. Very fascinating to see!

Here, John and I are back at the bed and breakfast, and ready for the ceremony to begin. John always looks so handsome!

April looked lovely, and the ceremony and reception were perfect. For dinner, we had steak and chicken fajitas, rice, beans, and chips and salsa- all delicious. The cake was really good too! White with lemon filling. Check out April and Marcus's really cool cake topper. It's a skeleton bride and groom.

Congratulations April and Marcus!
