Can it really be 7 years this year? In some senses, it feels like we've known each other and been married forever, and then other times it feels like we were just newlyweds! This year, we had a great time celebrating our anniversary!
This year I was in charge of planning the activities for us! My mom and dad were so nice to watch the kids...they had one sleepless night and my dad told me "I don't know how you do it day in & day out!" It was sweet of them to offer and it was so nice to get away and not have to worry about the children, as much as we love them!
First, we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner. We sat on the patio, it was a gorgeous night! We enjoyed talking without interruptions...ah hem. The food was great like always! I ate fish and chips (I guess I've been inspired by watching all of the olympics lately, since that's a favorite in London!) and Dave had a burger. Then we were stuffed after eating just part of our meal, so we saved the rest and got dessert to go. We ate it later that night, we got the Black Out chocolate cake and the caramel apple cheesecake. So rich and so good!
Then we checked into our room at the Inn at Snowbird! That night, we got our pass, which included unlimited Alpine Slide, Sky Ride, Peruvian Chair Lift, Tram, trampolines, rock climbing wall, jump toys, mechanical bull and more! We walked along the nature path and then went swimming at the pool, the hot tub, and then went to the sauna for a while. It was so hot in there I could barely breathe!
The view from our room - magnificent!
The next morning, we slept in, went to the buffet breakfast, and then we went to do all of the fun stuff! It was such a fun day doing all of these things together! Seriously, we needed to be just together so bad and this was just what the doctor ordered!
Once we got to the top of the chair lift, we went through the tunnel to the other side of the mountain and explored!
I even did some flips, woot woot!
Probably our favorite thing was the Alpine Slide...we only got video of it, no pictures. But we had a blast!
Thanks, hon, for the good times! I love you and had so much fun with you!!
On our actual anniversary, we had a family date! The theme was "Viva Las Vegas", since this is our lucky 7 anniversary and we were thinking about going to Las Vegas, but that wasn't really an option because of our limited time. I played the song by Elvis on the way downtown, where we saw the fountains. They weren't Bellagio, but they were still good. Then we went to the gardens, that definitely beat out any of the gardens in LV.
After we went to the gardens, we went to the Timber Creek buffet, because you can't go to Vegas without going to a buffet! It was okay food. Then we went home, and partied there. This has a King at the top and a queen at the bottom for Dave & I, and then the cards are 8 and 10 and 5...it took Dave a while to figure out it's the date of our anniversary, 08/10/2005. :)
Dave gave me this beautiful mirror and a card, and part of it said: "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all?" "Melanie of course". No one compares to her beauty, intellect, wisdom, charm, kindness, compassion, thoughtfulness and choice spirit." Awwww, he's so sweet and I love him so much!
Then we watched a Terry Fator DVD, which is what show we'd see if we went there. We love him and have seen him once, he's so talented and amazing!
Thank you, Babe for these amazing 7 years, the years of my life! I really am the luckiest to have you!
