Anniversary Success

Our 5th Anniversary was a wonderful success.

Well, we started our adventure with a family trip to Jimmy John's for some sandwiches. Then, we dropped Quinn off at Chris and Avery's house at about 4, and left for the rest of the night. I surprised Tim with a trip to Lagoon. Lagoon is the only amusement park in Utah. It is totally ghetto. We had never been, and it made a great backdrop for talking, catching up and celebrating the last five years of having fun together. We sat in an hour of traffic, and then we got completely soaked in our clothes on the very first ride. We were the only people fully clothed and the only people who got so wet. Most of the people at the park enjoy both the water park area and the regular rides, so they walk around half wet and half dressed (which beautifully adds to the ghetto feeling in the air.) We hit a couple rides and had an Icee before leaving and heading to the Pie Pizzeria for a late night snack.

It was weird to sleep at our house without Quinn in the next room. I was sore in the morning because I am not used to sleeping through the night. I woke up at 8 a.m. and couldn't wait to go get Quinn. Tim and I enjoyed the morning and our Pizza breakfast, and then we went to pick up Quinn at about 11. You never saw a tireder baby. We brought her home for a nap before finishing the weekend with a trip to the petting zoo at the Thanksgiving Point Farm.

It really was a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I'm grateful for my marriage and my family, and I look forward to a huge celebration in 5 more years.
