Anniversary

We celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary on Saturday.  We don't usually celebrate in high style.  I actually tried to for our first anniversary and it was a total bust which involved crying through our dinner at the Long John Silver/ A&W combo restaurant (we couldn't find our planned restaurant, among other traumatic happenings).  Oh, I was so silly.  I really do think marriage is one of the most important things to celebrate, and we really wanted to do something special this year.

We left the kids with my parents on Saturday morning and took off for Salt Lake, just the two of us.  We spent the day shopping, wandering, talking, eating, and reminiscing.  Our courtship and the first nine months of our marriage were spent in downtown Salt Lake.  We drove through our old stomping grounds.  We remembered a simpler, easier time that for some reason didn't feel simple or easy.  Why is that?  Will I feel the same way about our life now in another seven years?

We spent a highly romantic evening watching the olympics.  Then we both woke up at 6:30am and couldn't sleep any longer.

The end.

We're officially old.
