Happy Anniversary

Today is our anniversary. It often seems like Rick and I have been together for a lifetime rather than only married for 4 years. Not in a bad way either. I tend to like the dood. Here are a few photos from our fun day.

For our anniversary we finally sat in line for In N Out shakes at our Draper location. My shake was MORE than worth it! (I think we were in line for 16 minutes.)

Happy 3rd Anniversary

Yesterday, December 14th, was Rick's and my 3rd anniversary. Since we are building a home we decided to not spend much money. We went out to dinner on Saturday night and lunch on Monday. For lunch, we went to Chili's where we had our very first lunch date. We even sat in the same booth and I think we probably even ordered the same things.Yes - We are sitting on the Ox at Temple Square

Rick brought me some balloons and a mini rose bush. I have this now at work and it is my goal to keep it alive until our home is done so I can plant it on our garden.
Rick and I have an incredible relationship. I am so grateful for him and our 3 years of being married.

Happy Anniversary ~ 2 Years!

Today, December 14th, is Rick's and my anniversary. We have been married for 2 great years. To celebrate, last night we went to Ballet West's Nutcracker. Prior, we went to PF Chang's for dinner. It was wonderful.
For those of you not in Utah, it snowed yesterday. It was a beautiful way to cover all the ugly ground. It was mighty cold too. We decided to walk from PF Chang's to Capital theater as it is only 2.5 blocks away. The north wind was blowing and it was snowing on our way there but it had cleared up for our walk back. During our walk, we walked past the Peery Hotel, where we spent our first night as a married couple.
The ballet was incredible. I can't even begin to describe the costumes. They were the best part in my opinion. They made my eyes so happy. The dancing was incredible too. The "cavalier" to the Sugar Plum Fairy (see photo below) who both also danced in the Grand Pas de Deux was here for that show and only 3 more. He is some dancer who has danced with the Slovakian and Hungarian Ballets along with some other big name international ones. He really was by far the best dancer.
I couldn't have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary.

Christmas Ornament - Our First Christmas

I forgot to post on Saturday.
This has been a really good exercise for me. Today's ornament I had first thought we purchased at Disneyland but as soon as I started typing I remembered, this is from my aunt!
This is our only ornament that says "Our First Christmas" It doesn't have the year but that is all good. It does have a little hole on the bottom so we put a light inside of it and it illuminates from the inside.
I am happy we have a First Christmas Together ornament.
