One of the great things about the time we got married was it was during Spring break and more people were able to make it out for our wedding, than if we would have had it during an off season. The bad thing is, when we want to go away, it's NOT an off season, so we don't get off season prices. Every year we try to do something different and special.
For our 1 year anniversary we don't really remember the specifics. Kevin cooked dinner and we ate by candle light then watched a movie.
Neither one of us remembers what we did for our 2nd anniversary. We're thinking that we probably just went to the Olive Garden for dinner and possibly a movie afterward.
Our 3 year anniversary we went to the Melting Pot for dinner and walked around Downtown Portland for a bit.
Our 4 year anniversary we left Keegan with my parents and went up to Columbia Gorge Riverside Lodge. We stayed in the Afrika room. We stayed for 2 nights. Ate junk food, played games, talked about our future, hot tubbed, and ate at the Skamania Lodge. The whole weekend was lovely. The scenery was beautiful and it was nice to get out of town for a couple of days. On our way home we stopped at IHOP for breakfast, then went and picked up Keegan. We missed him so much and were anxious to get home to him.A few days before our 5 year anniversary, we had Oliver. We drove around with both of our boys forever and ever looking for a place to go eat and celebrate a little (best we could having 2 kids with us). Finally we went to Mazatlan and got it to go (we could have went there in the first place like Kevin said, because he knows how much I love that place, but I kept saying, "No, no. Let's go somewhere you want to go too". Yadda, Yadda.
This year for our 6th wedding anniversary, we started out our Friday with lunch at the Olive Garden. That's where I broke the news that I had lost my wedding rings months ago and have no idea where else to look. I keep them in my Temple bag because they have nickle in them and I am allergic to it. So, I keep them in my bag and put them on anyways for special occasions. I was thinking that I took them off and put them back in my little pouch that attaches to the inside of my my bag, but then didn't put my pouch in the bag. Anyways, we went to the lost and found counter in the Temple and they said they donated everything they had before January. I felt horrible. We then parted ways to enter our dressing rooms, and when I came out, he was holding my ring up! We had put it in his bag for whatever reason and had both forgotten. I've been wearing it all weekend and it has not bothered me once yet. Today we went to church and watched Oliver and Company as a family (until I took Oliver upstairs to put him in bed and ended up napping myself). Later after the boys went down, Kevin and I had a nice dinner together and watched Into the Woods. Now, I'm blogging on my laptop with twilight playing from another window that is opened.
