5 Years!

We have known each other for 5 years. 5 years ago we went on our first date. It was a blind date. I don't think that night, really, that I thought we would be where we are today. Brian said that 5 years a 1 day ago he was miserable and didn't know what he was going to do with his life. It's funny when you think back on things. You just know that life turned out the way it was supposed to.

For fun, we thought we would go back and do the same things we did 5 years ago. We went and ate dinner at La Puente on 3300 S. and State St. Well, that restaurant has since burned down (not by us) so we decided to go to Lorena's in Bountiful. It's the same food.

The next thing we did on our date (which some of us call our 2nd date) was ride trax. Brooklyn was really excited about this one. She thought we were going to go on Casey Jr. (Poor girl!)

(for those of you who didn't know, which would be almost all of you, I did cut my hair and go blonde....er on monday. now you know.)

Our 3rd date that evening was a stroll through Temple Square. There, we discovered the "famous" or should I say "infamous" lion face. I tried to get a picture of it, but it was kinda hard with the light and the flash...but, if you know what it is, you can see it. And if you don't know the story...you might not get to know it, because there are now 2 different versions of what happened. It HAS been 5 years!

The date ended with some special "getting to know you" conversation by the fountain in front of the church office building. Once again, there are different versions to the story. You are NOT allowed to ask Brian his version.

I just think it was fun to go there with the whole family and take a look back over the last 5 years. We went from skinny little us with a cute little rental house to some bigger usess who built a house and then sickly little me and then came baby...and then happy three of us and then sickly little me and then the 4 of us, once again bigger usess. We start the diet/work out programs on Monday. SERIOUSLY!

Anyway, besides all of that, I am so greatful for the man that I met 5 years ago and the change that it brought to my life. He is a wonderful husband, father and my best friend. I enjoy spending time with him, our love for our children and all the my life has become because of him.

WOW, 5 years already!
