Mike and I wanted to make sure to take the time to make this anniversary a big deal. We talked about going to Park city for the weekend or somewhere in Salt Lake. In the last month, we spent 16 days in Lake Powell and we could not justify spending money on a hotel for a weekend with our absence from our jobs. The more we talked the more I became comfortable with just staying home and going to dinner.
Our anniversary fell on a Sunday, so it allowed us to celebrate all weekend long! On Saturday we woke up and went on a hike to donut falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon. That is one of my favorite hikes and it was so fun to take Mike cause he hasn't ever done it!
On the way home, we had to stop and get dorito tacos from Taco Bell, we are a little addicted right now, they are SO good! We quickly got ready and went to do sealings at the Provo City Center temple! That temple is absolutely gorgeous! We decided to make a tradition to do sealings for our anniversary every year, I can't think of a more fitting way to remember what we are celebrating!
After the temple we went to the Riverwoods to eat dinner at Tucanos and to do some shopping. Our dinner was so so good! But we were both too full. Like sick full. After dinner we went home and could only lay down to watch a movie cause we ate ourselves sick. I didn't want any food until the afternoon of the next day because I was so sick. HAHA! How do you go to Tucanos without eating so much food? We both need help.
Sunday was our real anniversary, we decided to forgo our regular Sunday dinner with family to just spend time together and I am so happy we did!! After church we came home and Mike made us tacos for lunch, yes, tacos for lunch two days in a row, don't judge us. Then we watched our wedding video twice. lol! Then we watched Rush Hour 2 are we the only ones that find those movies too funny? haha! After the movie we made a yummy dinner of grilled asparagus, red mashed potatoes, and Effies chicken. It was so yummy!
After dinner we drove up to Draper to one of our favorite little trails that has a super good lookout of the draper temple and the perfect place to watch the sunset. We walked back, its like a mile walk so two miles round trip, it was really cold and windy for some reason, its July.. haha! so we froze! But we stuck through and watched the sunset while trying to stay warm! After the sunset Mike drove us down to the temple parking lot, and turned on our wedding song and asked me to dance with him in the parking lot. How cute is he?? I love that boy. We had a great anniversary and I am so glad we didn't spend money on a hotel because we had so much fun staying home!
Lots of love,
