Anniversary Celebration!

Here's how we celebrated our Anniversary:

We decided that since Tron would be in school during our anniversary we'd take a little trip the weekend before. (disclaimer: I am doing a lot of weird smiles in these pictures so beware)

It Started on the the 20th of August. We went to a free show in Salt Lake, Okkervil River was playing with Iron and Wine. (Okkervil River is one of Tron's all time favorite bands Check my playlist to get a listen to them)


















It was awesome! We met up with a bunch of people and just had a lovely time listening and talking. Iron and Wine sounds so different live. His voice doesn't sound the same at all.

The next day was Friday, We slept in, then went swimming, followed by dinner at our favorite restaurant The Olive Garden. I just can't get enough of their minestrone soup lovin'. After that we went to the Drive-In for the first time in Tron's life! He loved it. And I'm always down for watching a movie in comfort. And yes those are my ever so lovely swollen feet and hand.












































Saturday was our last day. We slept in a bit because our check out time was the lovely time of 12. (best Check out time ever!) We then went to the Bohemian Brewery for lunch. My sister in law Em told us about this place. We went to check out the ever famous Garlic Fries. Which are in Em's top 5 things she's ever eaten! They were delicious. I wouldn't say they were top 5 worthy, but I did have a bit of a stuffy nose so I probably didn't get the full effect. I still would say they need to be checked out by all. We then went to visit my brother Jon, his wife Liz, and their little boy Max. We hung out with them for a little while then we all went swimming. Max was freaking cute in his little hat. And that was all of our weekend. Oh and later that night we went to my friend Jessica's going away party. No pictures though too bad because it was a mustache party.






























We then celebrated again on our actual anniversary. It was really fun. I woke up to these notes leading me down the hall to Roses and my Favorite Doritos. I thought it was so cute. Just something little and I loved it. ( I won't put up all the notes. That would take far too long.)

































After Tron got home from School and work. I gave him my gift which was just a heartfelt card and a white hanky which we found out he was lacking the week before. It has the Salt Lake temple on it where we were married. My friend and I tried to put our anniversary on it but the bobbin kept freaking out, but I'll get it. I didn't get a picture of it though. After Tron got ready We went to the Logan Temple and did Sealings. It was so great. I love doing sealings even if it makes my butt hurt. But what we thought was funny was that we were the only couple who didn't do any wedding sealings we only did parents and children. Figures huh.















After the Temple we came back changed, went and rented a couple movies for later then headed to Wendy's. We went to Wendy's on our actual wedding day after we finished taking pictures at the temple. We are big fans. ha ha ha















After our super fancy dinner we headed to Spoon Me where I got a delicious fruit filled frozen yogurt, then to sweetly divine where Tron got a cream cheese danish. Then to Movies 5 to see 500 Days of Summer yet again. We love that movie. It's so clever and great. I recommend it to everyone.















Then it was time to eat the Cake top. We didn't eat the whole thing. We each just took a bite. But bringing out that top was just a reminder of how beautiful our cake was. Even if it now looked a little deformed. I seriously loved the look of that cake.



















































After we ate some of the cake it was time to do Tron's favorite part of the evening. It was time to smash the rest of the cake top with a golf club. He decided he was going to tee off with it. So we went to an empty field by our house and whacked the crap out of our beautiful cake top. Tron was really happy. But we had to be really quiet and quick because we were trespassing. whoops.





































































We did not mean to make the same face, but it happened and I like it.















After our late night cake killing adventure we went home and watched the soloist. Good times good times. It was a wonderful anniversary. I loved it.
