Happy 11th Anniversary!

Thursday-Saturday, March 10th-12th--We had a FABULOUS anniversary weekend!!!! Thursday, our actual anniversary, Nate took the day off and we went out to lunch after dropping Brady off at school. Lunch was delish and we talked about memories of our married life so far. It was wonderful to have some alone time. Later on in the evening we had a yummy dinner then shortly after, put the kids to bed and spent some more time just talking--I loved it! I asked Nate to tell me some of the reasons he loves me. He asked that I do the same. There were many and I loved hearing and sharing all of them.
Friday night we left the kids with my dear friend, Kathy, and went to the Oquirrh Mountain LDS Temple. We hadn't been to the temple together for a very long time. The temple is so beautiful and the experience was amazing. We realize we need to go more and make that a goal.
Saturday, we dropped the kids off with my sister in the morning and headed to Desert Star Theater for an afternoon showing. We have season tickets to this place and, WOW, are they worth it! The show was "Beverly Hillbillies 90210". We ate a yummy pizza there too. The show was over around 1:30 so we left and headed out to run some errands.
We planned a crazy night with some of our friends to go do laser tag at Trafalga in Lehi. This place has the largest laser tag arena around and it definitely did not disappoint! We went with the Alonzo's, Pitcher's and Timothy's. It was a total blast! We did two rounds. The second round had a bunch of rowdy teens and we did our best to kick their team butts--we succeeded! It was awesome! We have season passes to this place too so we'll be back! We would have gone a few more rounds but it was getting late and it was Daylight Savings so we would be losing an hour. We all headed back to our house for some very yummy banana splits and some fun chatting. There is never a dull moment with these people, I swear!
The next day was back to the ol' grind again. Nate picked the kids up from my sisters house and we went to church.
We had such a wonderful anniversary weekend! I loved every minute of it. Can't wait for #12 and beyond! Thanks, Nate, for being everything to me---for loving me, making me feel special and of worth, never criticizing me, being romantic and affectionate, compromising, supportive, being the BEST dad and husband, and so much more!
