Katie & Todd Blake

A is for anniversary! And also because the California Adventures letters have no B for Blake... Because guess what this last weekend was? Todd and I's first anniversary! And we went to disneyland! As you are about to see in this photo journey, Disney plays a big part in the story of our love...

A long time ago (or October 2007), my dear roomie Sarah Mary let me tag along on her Disneyland trip. You can probably spot Todd's smiling face amongst the group. He's a big fan of Disney and for the past three years had organized an annual trip. I don't know if it was the magic of Halloween at Disney, but we were smitten. He held my hand on the Haunted Mansion Ride and the rest is history...

One year later, after the best wedding ever (yes, seriously, it was the best), I introduced Todd to the Disney of the South... Disney World! After our honeymoon cruise, we had a few extra days that we were able to spend in Disneyworld. We bought our first Christmas ornament as a married couple there. It, of course, had Mickey and Minnie on top. We wore our Bride and Groom mouse ears all over and basked in the newlywed glow!

One year later, we were deciding how to celebrate our big anniversary, and it just seemed natural to return to our roots :) Because it was also my birthday weekend, we brought along the whole crew to celebrate with us! Disneyland at halloween is my favorite! They go all out with the decorations and there are pumpkins everywhere! It was way less crowded than I expected (thank heavens it wasn't UEA...) and we went on every ride we wanted. It was a perfect weekend!

And because I find us too adorable for words, here's a last picture of us in all our anniversary/disneyland bliss!
Thanks for reading!
