7 years already?

On August 17th BJ and I celebrated out 7 year anniversary! The time has flown by and yet I cant really remember life with out my Prince Charming! He gives so much of his time and effort to me and the boys! I am so grateful to have his as my partner and best friend!

To celebrate we were able to piggy back a Anniversary trip with BJs air force qualifying test in Provo! Brent and Krisitie watched Spencer and Cooper and Amber watched Graham (THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!) And we were able to get away for 2 nights!!!

AaaaahhHHHH

Being able to be together with out any questions or whining or crying was a little piece of heaven! Driving up to Provo I realized how great it was when we were able to talk with out any interruptions! Usually Spencer makes it his personal mission to interrupt AS SOON as we begin a conversation! IT WAS SO GREAT to be able to just hang out together!

Not to mention the SWEET hotel we stayed in! I LOVED how retro chic it was! This was our room...

This is the Lobby I thought it was very retro chic! I was kinda in love with it!

We went to a few GREAT places for dinner and lunch.... with out kids....ahhh! We really enjoyed ourselves at a restaurant again! We went to the Bombay House for our big dinner! We haven't had good Indian food together since Hong Kong so it was a real treat! Can you tell BJ LOVED me taking a picture of him while he ate? Hehehehe

They had such a great atmosphere! And it was so exciting to dress up and go out together! I might have loved it a little more then Beej but he was such a champ about it and ooooed and aahhhed over my dress so it was ALL worth it!

The next day we went to Tucanos for lunch and ate and ate and ate until we were rolling in our chairs! It was delicious and we had fun playing with the red green light they give you! Trying to switch it over as we saw the GOOD stuff come out! hmm the food was so tasty!

We had planned ahead to do something fun and different while we were there! I had found a place that rented tubes so you could float and raft down the Provo River! And then as soon as we pulled in it started raining and the wind picked up :( :( :(

So we went and saw the Time Travelers Wife (BJ's fantastic idea!) it was SUCH a great love story! We BOTH cried a few times! Then the next day it stormed all day so we went and saw a MAN movie! District 9 was intense and intriguing! We laughed at ourselves a few times for going to 2 movies but we NEVER go anymore with the kids so it was a nice change of pace! And since all our "creative" ideas involved being outside this was a good plan B!

It didn't really matter what we did because having so much time together was the perfect way to celebrate our 7 years together! I am looking forward to making this year LUCKY! I know that no matter what the next step is for us we will take it together and enjoy every minute! Because even through the ups and downs of our life together we have always been able to turn to each other and smile! (even if that smile does come after a few tears!!!:)

I LOVE YOU BJ and I LOVE OUR LIFE TOGETHER! THANK YOU for choosing ME and for continuing to choose to love me and support me each day!
