14 years and counting....

I get to spend each and every day with this guy.  I know, I know, I am lucky!!

The shirt he has on is one he wears all the time.  It was his Father's Day gift last year and he has several more in his closet from previous years. Decorated by his kids.  Their hand prints, and foot prints.  Their names and ages at the time.  That is all he ever asks for on Father's Day. He is the most sentimental daddy ever.  He saves every picture the kids draw for him and also every card I have ever given him.  He is just cute like that.

We celebrated our 14 year anniversary recently by getting a hotel in Salt Lake.  We haven't been able to do that since Seth was a baby.  Money has been tight, or I have been pregnant, or just had a baby or something like that has prevented it.  BUT, this was the year!  I was itching to get away, even if it was just for one night.  My mom came over and held down the fort while we where gone.  She came with candy, popcorn, and frozen foods galore.  The kids barely even noticed us leaving. ;)

So funny!!

Right off the bat we set off for Salt Lake to pick up.............. Will's New Truck!!  Yes, finally! The day had come!  He has only wanted a truck since I day I met him.  He had one once that my dad gave him, but we had to sell it.  :( He had found a used one on KSL, test drove it, debated about getting it for days, AND finally we decided it was time so we picked it up that evening.  I am so happy for him!!  Getting things in order and actually getting the truck took all afternoon and evening, but I didn't care.  It was about spending time together, right?? We got around to eating dinner well after 7pm which is prime eating time at most restaurants and the waiting time was 45 minutes.......too long since we were hungry!!!  We ended up eating at Kneaders at City Creek and it was really yummy!!!  It wasn't crowded at that hour, and we were actually kind of glad we picked a place were we could eat our meal uninterrupted! It was perfect, although not what we originally thought we'd do for our Anniversary Dinner!  LOL!  He took me to Macy's and helped me pick out some perfume since that is one of my most favorite things in the world.  If I could have 1000 different kinds of yummy perfume to pick from each day, I would be in heaven!  The man who helped us gave me lots of extra samples, a bag, and a jewelry organizer once he found out it was our anniversary!  He was so nice!  I felt so spoiled!!

We came right home in the morning after a quick stop at Gordman's.......that place is super fun!  Will was a good sport as I tried on some jeans.....and a few tops.....LOL!!

We had a wonderful weekend and we both felt very refreshed and ready to come home to our 5 kids and our busy household!  We both decided we NEED to do this more often.  I wonder if my mom is game???? 

Happy Anniversary, to my sweetheart!  Looking forward to many more years.........
