8 Years

8 years ago today, Joseph and I were married. There is so much I could say about that amazing day (and our fabulous wedding reception the night before). But for me, the most important thing has always been the complete happiness and hope for the future I felt while kneeling across the altar from my husband. I knew that day that I was in exactly the place I needed to be in with exactly the right person. After 8 years, I still feel the same way. I have total faith our marriage and love for each other--and that makes me one lucky woman.

We spent the weekend up in Park City to celebrate our anniversary. We hit the Alpine Slides and Alpine Coaster on Friday evening and then had dinner up at the Canyons at a restaurant called The Cabin. Afterwards we checked into out hotel, went hot tubbing and fell asleep by 10:30 pm :) We didn't wake up until 8:30 the next morning and it felt amazing--we haven't slept that long in ages! On Saturday we grabbed breakfast at Squatters and watched as the rain outside turned into snow and started dusting the mountains. We braved the storms and headed to the outlets where we shopped for almost 4 hours. We felt like young marrieds again--enjoying our weekend without kids' schedules to worry about. That night we had dinner on Main Street and came back to our room to watch Ocean's 13. We had a wonderful weekend away. The only sad thing was that our Caroline hadn't quite recovered from her virus and managed to get both Nanny and Grandma Bobbi covered in throw-up while they watched her. Poor baby and poor grandmas! They really treated us by letting us get away for 2 nights--thank you!!
