Anniversary Number 3

It was our third anniversary on Wednesday July 1, 2009. Time sure flies when you are having fun. Mike is my perfect fit. We have laughed and cried together and grown closer to each other in the last three years. My love for him and appreciation for him is so great. I am so happy he chose me to be his wife three years ago and made me a proud mommy. I am so grateful that he holds the priesthood and am so grateful for his example. He is an awsome husband and father.

We had a fun filled anniversary. For anniversary gifts he got me a UVU hoodie. I have wanted one ever since I graduated over a year ago. So, he was walking by the bookstore and they were on sale so he bought me it for our anniversary. Thanks honey!

I got him a couple of things. I got him a board game as a combined fathers day and anniversary gift. I got him Phase 10 Twist.

Also, I made him a candy bar poster that was waiting for him when he got home from school on Wednesday.

For dinner on Wednesday I made Cafe Rio pork salads at home. They were so good. It takes a lot of work and many dishes and afterward a big mess, but worth it once in a while.

Here is the BIG mess I was referring to.

Here is the yummy pork.

The finished product.

Since Mike had work and school on our anniversary we celebrated it mostly on Thursday. We spent the morning getting to ready to go up to Salt Lake City to celebrate. Our plan was to go with Chris and Lauree and take Tyson and Tanner swimming. It started raining so Mike said there was an indoor pool that he knew of that we could go to and swim. He pulled up to the Shilo Inn and surprised me by saying that he had got us a hotel room for the night and that Chris and Lauree were going to take Tyson for the night. (First time away from Tyson for the whole night. It was a little weird.) He was going to check in and we were going to go swimming. We were a little early to check in and they wouldn't let us. So we ended up going back to Chris and Lauree's house until our dinner reservation.

We had made dinner reservations at The Roof Restaurant (at the top of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building) for 5:30. Chris and Lauree had a gift card with some money on it so they joined us for a double date while we left the two boys with Mike's mom. We had a great time. Dinner was great and the desserts were even better. The view was gorgious as well.

After dinner, we went back to Chris and Lauree's house. We kissed Tyson goodnight and Mike and I went to the movie The Proposal. After the movie we went back to the hotel and since the pool was open 24 hours we went swimming and sat in the hot tub. It was a great night. Thanks for the wonderful surprise Mike.

The next morning Chris and Lauree brought the kids over the the hotel to go swimming since we weren't able to the day before. Here are some fun pictures of us swimming.

Thank you honey for a wonderful anniversary. I love you very much.
