Eleven Years!!

{Wednesday} August 17, 2011

Wow . . . it's really hard to believe that we're celebrating ELEVEN years today!! We have, without a doubt, one amazing marriage. We couldn't be any luckier to have found each other . . . we are SUCH a perfect match!!

Just to go back to when we were babies . . . er . . . 11 years ago; I met this cute boy, we went on one hot date after another and talked on the phone when we were apart. . . sometimes until we literally fell asleep with our phones stuck to our ears. Three weeks to the day later he got on one knee and proposed! All in all, we met and got married in 4 months! Crazy? Everyone else thought so, but we. just. knew. When something is SO right, why question it? I had "friends" telling me it wouldn't last 2 years . . . that I was CRAZY. Maybe I was . . . but there's no doubt that we were sent to this earth to be together. FOREVER. So awesome!! 

Since we're in Utah on our summer vacation we decided that it would be really fun to meet up with some of our dearest friends who have moved here, and spend our anniversary with them. We went to a REALLY yummy bbq, southern-y place {the name is escaping me . . . ??} with Brent & Jen Allen, and AJ & Laurie Swope. {We're staying with the Swopes so we plan on extending the party a few days!} It was SO good to catch up and have fun with these great people. It's like we never separated and we just picked up where we left off. 

{Please excuse the blurry cell phone pictures}

 Porter tagged along. Wade's sister, Jen, watched the girls for us and she has 7 kids of her own. I didn't want to add one more baby to the mix. When we got there there were no high chairs left and it took until after we got our food to get him one. By then he was a tired mess. Still cute . . . go figure! ;)

 After dinner we drove over to this little ice cream stand. It was SO good. I am really. really. sad that we don't have one in San Diego. They make the ice cream, literally, as you stand there and watch . . . from the liquid stage to the frozen stage in seconds. Amazing and SO delicious! I got chocolate with heath in it . . . I am already craving more!! 

On a side note: There's this little cafe place next to SubZero called Porters Place. It was an old shop of Porter Rockwells . . . I loved the sign so Wade ran and took a picture for me. Whataguy! haha

We had SUCH a fun night!! It was so great to get a night away without kids {well, most of them} and to enjoy some good times with great friends. Can't wait to do it again some day!

Happy Eleven Years my love!! I'm such a lucky girl!! xoxoxoxoxo
