happy 3 years...on june 5th

right before our anniversary, christian and i decided not to buy gifts for each other.  we felt like spending time together would be the most enjoyable thing for both of us on our anniversary.  stressing out about finding the right thing and spending money we should be saving sounded less good.  i mentioned in passing that i wished we could eat some of our wedding cake as part of our anniversary celebration.  it was such a delicious cake.  (we didn't freeze the top of our cake for our one year anniversary.  the lady who made our cake told us that she would make an anniversary cake for us for our first anniversary.  however, in that year, she went out of business.  so, we never got to enjoy that tradition.)

for our anniversary, we went to the crepery for dinner.  we sat by the logan river and enjoyed stimulating conversation.  it was so nice.  then, christian told me that he had left something at home.  he didn't mention what that was.  we ran home to get it.  when we went inside, there was a lovely anniversary cake!  i have never been so surprised in my life.  it was the most thoughtful gift.  i've never been more surprised in my life.  we ate cake, then drove to the temple to take a picture of us in front of it, like we did the day we got engaged.  it was such a nice evening.  

i'm grateful that i'm married to such a good man.  he blesses my life every day.  he's the right one for me, and he was worth the wait.
