5 years

we celebrated our five year anniversary on saturday! i can't believe how fast that went by!
matt planned an awesome date for us and we had such an amazing time.

we went to gab gab beach to try snorkeling for the first time here on guam. we did try it once before with eric and andrea on catalina island, but that couldn't even compare to the snorkeling here. it was absolutely beautiful and i wish the pictures could truly show the beauty we saw. they don't, but at least we have some pictures anyways.







the water was so warm which really made the experience 100 times better than the first time. and we saw a barracuda which was crazy looking. i seriously thought it was a little shark at first. all i could focus on were those sharp little teeth. but once i got over the first initial scare, i realized what it really was. we can't wait to snorkel again!

after snorkeling, we enjoyed a nice afternoon snack on the beach. we brought some martinelli's and cheese and enjoyed some quality time together.






then we showered and tried to get dressed in the front seat of the jeep. it was quite hilarious. we covered the windows with towels and such, so we had privacy, but there was not much space to begin with! and have you ever tried to do your make-up with the sunsetting and only the little dome lights in the car...not easy, but i did it none-the-less!

then we headed to roy's steakhouse for dinner in the hilton resort. it was all decorated for christmas. it was so pretty and festive.



roy's was so delicious. i thoroughly enjoyed my fish (`ôpakapaka aka pink snapper flown in from hawaii). so much so that i am still thinking about it days later! matt had seared ahi, which he enjoyed also, but my dish was better so i shared!

then dessert came. yum! they made this cute little happy anniversary plate for us. i loved it and it made the day that much more special. but, of course, we had to end the night with some chocolate lava cake. delectable!



we had such a nice and relaxing time together. i felt awesome to not have a worry in the world and know that rian was being well taken of. thanks for planning this anniversary, babe! i had an amazing time! and i love you so much!

You're a knockout Tracy! You deserve to live on a beach!! haha. Looks like a blast and what a funny memorable time in the jeep. I'm sure you guys were in stitches trying to get ready together. I love those moments. And I know what you mean by wanting to GO somewhere...it's just nice to get away, but it is funny that you live in paradise and want to go somewhere else. That's life I guess! :)
