The closest last vans warped tour landed on our sixth wedding anniversary
weekend. We weren’t planning on going but Waymon surprised me with tickets to
go and I couldn’t say no to him. This weekend also doubled as a mini
getaway for us, which ultimately met that we were going to stop by IKEA. For
those of you that don’t know, the nearest IKEA Reno has is 200+ miles away in
Sacramento and because of that distance every single trip to California is
carefully thought out to make a pit stop here.
Our mini getaway turned out amazing. We saw the bands we loved for the very
last time at the warped tour. This would be our 2
nd warped tour
together but this time we went just the two of us, which we’ve never done
before. It was so nice spending an afternoon at a music festival with him. We
don’t have very much in common but because of Waymon my taste in music is broadening.
We joke that he gave me his love for baseball, music and I gave him patience and
sushi. This festival like all others was hot af.
I don’t know how we use to stand in the heat
with no water back in the day, but we did. At the peak of the heat Waymon got
to see one of his favorite bands live and meet them. I’ve never seen him star struck
before. He was fangirling as much as his tough exterior would let him.

After the festival we decided that Ubering was too difficult so we found
some awesome Lime bikes to test out. Disclaimer : these bikes are not for
anyone that is as tall as me. Waymon was stressing out at the fact that I
couldn’t stop the damn bike at every crosswalk. I couldn’t even reach the road
when I was on the bike. I also can’t even tell you the last time I rode an
actual bike – it has to be yearsss since I’ve done so. Whatever you do, don’t ask
Waymon’s opinion on this subject
he’ll just
stress out even more. We spent the rest of the night with family and exploring
the Palo Alto / Mountain View Area. Haidyn spent the day with her Hootsee not
being spoiled.
😊
Sunday was our Ikea day! We’ve envisioned our new living room area for
months now and we were finally going to buy everything to put it together. Josh
came through to help with loading , shopping and to hang out. We always love
when Josh comes to hang out. Of course, Haidyn was ecstatic to see her Uncle
Josh and talk his ear off. Literally the kid won’t stop talking anymore but at
least now she’s making sense with actual sentences and not gibberish. I can’t
wait for you all to see what we’ve dreamed up! Before heading home, we headed
to Ikeda’s ( I know it’s confusing ) for some lunch. We stuffed our faces with
burgers, sandwiches and pie!
Spending our anniversary with the people we love the most made this
anniversary a great one. I’ve always tried to plan some lavish dinner or trip
for our anniversary but it never turns out the way I want it to. This year was
perfect . Here’s to forever with you.
