Anniversary!

Yay we're home again! We had a fun trip getting away for a day together and were able to do some really fun things. Tuesday we left for Salt Lake and first went to check in at our hotel. We stayed at the Airport Inn for one night, and it were delighted to have so much luxury for such a good price! :) After we checked in and dropped off our stuff at our room, we headed down to the gateway and had lunch/dinner at Tucanos Restaurant.

It was so amazing, and I can't wait to go back! I have never been to a Brazilian style restaurant and I love the setup of it! After lunch we went shopping at the Gateway, and then went down to temple square. We were going to see the new Joseph Smith movie, but we got there a little bit early, so we ended up walking around temple square for a little while and visiting the south visitor's center. After the movie, we went upstairs and ate at the Garden on the roof of the Joseph Smith building. The view was amazing, and we really enjoyed looking out over SLC while we ate our cake and ice cream! Wednesday morning we ate breakfast at the restaurant, and then went for a swim in the pool. The water was FREEZING cold, so it was quite the experience, but it's always fun to go swimming together and we had a good time. After our swim, we went back to our room and started to get ready to leave and check out. We stopped at the Bountiful temple on the way home and did a session there. It was so nice to be back at the temple where we got married. I still can't get over how beautiful it is in there, and how much I just feel at home whenever I go there. After we left the temple we stopped and checked on Cathy's dad to see how he was doing after his surgery. I went to pick up some lunch at Subway and brought it back for us to eat. On our way home later that night, we were driving behind another car and they ran over the tire of an 18-wheeler. We had less than a second to react to it, and ran it over as well. It dented our hood and mangled our front bumper on the driver side, as well as some other minor dings, dents, and problems. We're very blessed that it didn't come up into the windshield, however, and we are very grateful it did minimal damage. Pictures to follow. All in all it was an exciting trip!









Here are the pictures of the car. You can see that tire banged us up pretty good. They told us we had to replace the light on this side because it was too scratched up! Yikes. It could have been worse! :)

The Beginning

Wow. So I finally broke down and joined the blogging world. I'm not totally sure what my purpose of keeping track of this is, but I'm thinking since I have job that allows me to do this, I can sort of keep this as an online journal. We all know how horrible I am at keeping a journal on paper.

So today has been interesting. I almost became a victim of road rage this morning. Some crazy guy was angry I cut him off, and he swerved into my lane to get my attention and show me what he thought of my actions. I'm glad he didn't hit me. I'm surprised, however, that his wife was in on the whole thing. Usually women are embarrassed in those situations. Go figure.
