Anniversary Number Four.

Jeff and I just got back from celebrating our 4-year anniversary at the Silver King Hotel in Park City. It was a huge surprise for me and I couldn't have been more thrilled. We spent the time shopping, eating, sight seeing, swimming, and reminiscing about fun times. As many of you know, we are expecting baby #2 in July, so this was a fun time for us to discuss all the fun memories we've made and express our gratitude for all the many things we've been blessed with in the 5 years we've been together. We decided to start a tradition by writing down all the GOOD things that happened during that year, and read the things we wrote the previous year. That way when we celebrate each anniversary we can remember the blessings, the things that made us laugh, and in doing so appreciate each other and our friendship more and more each year. I think it will be a really rewarding tradition. This year we laughed our heads off thinking of some of our earliest memories.
My favorite from our first year of marriage- W.W.F Smack down night. I was lying in bed trying to sleep and he was not tired yet, so to get attention he kept jumping on me in different wrestling positions. Each time he jumped higher and each time I laughed a little harder. By the end, he managed to BREAK our bed!!! I was laughing so hard I couldn't possibly be mad. It was pretty funny.
Jeff's favorite from when we were dating- I came over to his house to visit and we decided to go out on the deck in the backyard. Jeff looked up at the sky and said, "Aw man, there are no stars out tonight." I looked up to see a blank, dark sky and with total shock and bewilderment said, "Where did they all go?" To which Jeff responded, "Megan, It's cloudy!!" I, of course, felt like a total idiot and to this day he laughs just as hard as he did that night.
So anyway, I hope our list continues to grow with fun things like this. I had a great time reminiscing and can honestly say that this was our best anniversary yet. The only hard part was being away from Branden for 3 days. When we got home we stopped by the church to pick him up and he wouldn't even look at me. When my sister gave him to me he even let out a little whimper like he didn't want me to hold him. It wasn't until half way home that he started to warm up a little and put his head on my shoulder (I know, bad parenting, he was in my lap and not his car seat). I feel really bad because he got sick and was probably thinking, "Where the heck are my parents???" But he has the cutest raspy voice right now. I love it.
Oh, and THANK YOU THANK YOU to all the family who contributed to keeping this a secret for Jeff and watching Branden for us while we were away. We love you so much and appreciate all you do.
XOXO.

There was a LOT more to this room... it was very spacious. I'm just way too lazy right now to upload the rest. Anyway, it was amazing and this morning when I woke up to a very grumpy little boy at 5:30 a.m. I was very, very sad to not be sleeping in until 10 a.m. in this hotel room :(
