Happy Eight Years

Today Steve and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary. We spent this last weekend roaming around the town, just the two of us, doing whatever we wanted to do! It was so fun!! So grateful to Steve’s parents for watching the kids for two whole nights! We just forgot about life for a couple days and focused on having fun with each other. My original plan was to get a place in Portland and have fun exploring the city we live next door to. Well, for various reasons (saving money, parking, etc.), we decided to stay in a place closer to home. We stayed at the Hilton right next to the Portland Temple. The first night we ate at PF Changs! So good! We both had never been there before! Since we had got a late start (eating at 8pm) we headed to the hotel to check in and fell asleep a bit early (boring I know!) The next day we slept in with no one to wake us up or ask for breakfast. Once we got up we headed into Portland to eat at a yummy biscuit place I had heard about. So good! We then hung out at the mall and did some shopping. We headed over and saw the Sherlock Holmes movie. We then went and both got a massage. We went to dinner at a lovely place called the Stockpot Broiler. I had lamb and Steve at steak. Very good. We also had this yummy brie/apple combo dip appetizer thing that was fabulous! I’m salivating now just thinking about it. We then went to the driving range and hit some golfballs. Very comical, I’m sure, for anyone who cared to watch us try! We then picked up a movie and some frozen yogurt and headed back to our hotel!! So fun just jumping around for the day. Of course I took the camera with me and left it in the car the whole day. I should have taken it with me to a couple places but didn’t want to be bothered with it. So, you get to see some photos of us in the car and hotel room!! How exciting is that??!
This is what happens when you are left waiting for your husband with nothing to do. Any advise on taking pictures of yourself in your car mirror on a dark night??
We looked a lot at our entertainment coupon book. Almost all of our meals were buy one get one free types of things at some really nice restaraunts. Yummy food!!

So fun to celebrate 8 years with this guy! I truly feel blessed to have him in my life!! We have experienced so much together and I’m looking forward to all that is in store for us in the years to come. Thanks babe for putting up with me through the thick and thin of life. Love, love, love ya!
