Celebrating 4 Years

December 29th marked our 4th wedding anniversary. I feel like the time has gone by so fast, and yet thinking of all we've been through and all we've experienced, it seems so much longer. Time is a funny thing. I am grateful every day that I am married to Marty and that we will get to be together forever. He truly is my best friend and I love celebrating each year with him. This year our anniversary celebration was more like a week long anniversary stay-cation. I took a couple weeks off work for Christmas & Marty just finished another semester at school so we decided to take full advantage of our time together and find a way to celebrate every day.

New Years Eve is when we really decided to celebrate our anniversary. We made reservations to stay at the Anniversary Inn downtown SLC back in August. We explored Temple Square, ate lunch at Gandolfo's, dessert at Eva's Bakery (or Boulangerie since it was a French bakery), shopping at City Creek, and finally we checked into our room and ordered a pizza and toasted to 4 wonderful years with glasses of Martinelli's.

We went here in search of French macaroons but they were out so we had delicious eclairs instead. I was just happy to have found a decent French bakery in Utah!

We had such a blast celebrating our marriage and spending time together. Thank you Marty for the amazing four years we've had. I'm excited for the many more to come! Now it's back to reality until our next getaway… 

2014 in Review

2014 was good to us. We didn't have as many life changing events as last year, but this year we got into a nice rhythm with work and school. We were able to get away for a nice trip to Canada & Montana this summer and spent a few beautiful flower-filled weekends at Sunridge. We just celebrated our 4th anniversary & Pongo the pug is 2 years old. Overall 2014, you were a success.
