Five Years

Yep, we are officially old. Nate and I just celebrated our five-year anniversary! It feels like I've always known him, yet sometimes it seems like we haven't been married long at all. Its been an awesome five years. Here's a little look back...

July 31, 2003...married in the Bountiful Temple. Open House in Seattle. Move into the most ghetto apartment in Logan.


2004...living in Logan, going to Utah State. Nate graduates. Live in Seattle for the summer. Back to Logan for Melissa to finish school.


2005...Melissa graduates. Move to Murray. Both get real jobs. Go on our favorite vacation yet...cruise in the Carribean.


2006...Buy our first house. Melissa gets her first digital SLR. Go on some great camping trips. Golf a lot. Melissa gets pregnant.


2007...Claire is born. She pretty much takes over our lives.


2008...Still figuring out how to be parents. Melissa quits working. Travel a lot. Still more traveling to come.


We celebrated by going to Park City for a few days. It was a much needed vacation. The first night we had dinner at my now favorite place to eat dinner, Ruth's Chris.

Nate discovered the best cheesecake of his life. Seriously. Blows Cheesecake Factory out of the water.

The next morning we got up, had breakfast at the yummy Eating Establishment, did a little shopping, golfed 18 holes at Wasatch Golf Course, (where, by the way, I got the first real birdie of my life...on a Par 5 no less) and had dinner at the world-famous Dairy Keen in Heber.

That night we did something we hadn't done since Claire was born...we went to a movie. In a theater.

The next morning we had breakfast at Morning Ray Cafe. YUM. My UW peeps-you know what I'm talking about.

Then took in the Park City Arts Festival.

What a great vacay. It was so fun to spend time just us. I love this guy! Here's to five million more years.

How exciting..I know how you feel Kev and I celebrated our 5 years in May. Funny we went to park city for a few days as well. But we didn't have as much fun as you, because it was rainy when we went up there. But we did go shopping which is always fun. Well congrats and hope your next 5 years will be even better.
