I know, I know I am late putting these pics up. Anyways, here are some pics of mine and Zach's 3 year anniversary. I cannot believe how time flies. It seems like we were just celebrating our 1 year anniversary. There have been many ups and downs over the last 3 yrs. as all realationships have, but I am so glad to say that there are many more ups then there are downs. I have such a wonderful husband and Im so excited that we have an eternal marriage.
Zach planned the whole weekend out. He said that the reason why he did all these extravagant things was because I tell him that he is not romantic. Well, after this weekend I would say that he does have a romantic side.
So, I knew Zach was planning something and he told me just to pack my bags and that we would go on a spontaneous vacation after we ate dinner at "The Steakhouse" in the San Luis hotel in Galveston. So, after we ate he wanted to "show me around the hotel." So we go up to a room and when we walk in there are rose petals and chocolates on the bed. I was so suprised. I knew then that we would be staying at this hotel. Zach had booked that room for 2 nights. So, the next morning he told me that we needed to be at the hotel by 11am because he had another trick up his sleeves. So 11am comes around and there is a knock on the door so I opened it and there are 2 massage therapists. Zach had ordered an in-room couples massage. It was so nice because I was in need of a massage. Later that night we went to eat at Saltgrass and then for a walk on "The Strand." It was nice to walk and to see all the historical buildings and shops. The weekend was such a great suprise and we had a good time!!!
At "The Steakhouse"
We had a really good dinner. I ordered lobster and Zach had steak. Since Zach knew some of the ppl that worked there we got a free shrimp cocktail for an appetizer and we got our dessert for free. We had chocolate cheesecake and a berries and creme thing. It was really good and they suprised us by writing on the plate.
Here is the room with the rose petals!!! :)
The view from our hotel room at night!
The view from our hotel room in the day!
This guy was on The Strand. He makes amazing pictures using spray cans.
I was in heaven when I walked into this place. It is called La King's Oldfashioned Ice Cream Parlor. It was like a 50's ice cream parlor. On the other side is this pic. It is a wall full of candy. Alot of candy was there that I used to eat when I was little. YUMMY!
Here are some animals from Costa Rica. I dont know what this next animal is, but he looks like a squirrel.
This is a pic of a Howler monkey. They make a loud weird noise. Zach said it sounds like a pig being slaughtered. haha!
These are lil baby Howler monkies. The owner of our hotel was taking care of them. They were recused from the forest. Their mother was electrocuted from trying to swing from a power line. They said that happens everyday. So, they have a foundation where they are trying to save howler monekies by putting a rubber coating around powerlines. Sad huh?
This lil guy is a bird with rainbow colors. He belonged to the owner of the place where the wedding was. He loved to sing.
This is a tucan. He was at our hotel in a huge cage. Everytime I walked up to the cage he would fly over to the edge and look at me like that; with he head cocked to the side. I bet he was thinking what a strange creature I was.
This is known as the "Blow Hole." It is a hole in some lava rock and when the waves would come in, it would shoot water out the top. It was really cool.
I got to go horseback riding. It was so much fun except that my butt hurt for the next week. It was a 2 hour horseride and my horse loved to run. We started out on the beach and went up the mountain and ended back on the beach. I went with a large group. Zach did not go....He was spending time with the groom and the boys. 
This was up in the mountain. Really cool! 
This was the back of our tour guide. She was very pretty. It was her and her dad that lead us. Isnt Costa Rica beautiful? Oh, if you look in the back ground, you can see that abandoned hotel on the hill.
Here is the couple that was getting married. Gorgeous aren't they!
In here are some Ginger and some Heliconias.
This is where the ceremony took place. Gorgeous view right?
This was what the ring bearer held. Cleaver idea! They just hot glued a pillow inside the shell.
Father and daughter.
These starfish were placed on the tables indicating where you were supposed to sit. 
Some of the groomsmen. Claude, Justin, and Zach.
This was our name tags at the rehearsal dinner. It was a fun and beautiful evening. The food was amazing.
