Three Years

Ryan and I celebrated our three year anniversary yesterday. I can't believe it's been three years since we got married. It feels like time has flown by. And yet at the same time I feel like I've known Ryan for a lot longer than that. The last three years have been the happiest of my life. Ryan is so perfect for me in every way and I'm so grateful for him.

Since our anniversary was on a Wednesday, we didn't really get to start the celebrations till the evening after school and work were over. My mom is in town so we got to have her babysit for us. After I dropped Lucas off with his grandma Crapo, we came back to our apartment and watched Up. I really liked this movie. It was so cute and perfect for an anniversary. We sipped some sparkling pomegranate juice and filled in a crossword puzzle that I made with clues and answers from things that happened when we were dating and first married. It was so romantic. :)

Then Ryan took me out to dinner at Chef's table. He didn't tell me where we were going, only what time I needed to be ready and that I needed to dress up. I was so surprised. I thought maybe he was trying to trick me and we were going to show up at Wendy's in our nice clothes.

Dinner was delicious! I got shrimp and sea scallops, Ryan got a New York strip with blue cheese crumbled on top. Probably the most amazing part, though, was the salad. All they asked was what dressing we wanted, and when it came out, the salads were entirely different and both perfectly suited for the dressing we had ordered. Ryan said his salad was possibly the best salad he had ever had. Ryan told them it was our anniversary when he made the reservations so they had a private table in it's own little room reserved for us. It was such an amazing atmosphere. We had a lot of fun. Afterwards, we tried to get a picture of ourselves in front of the restaurant but after a few tries we gave up cause it was freezing cold. Here's one of the attempts.

And here is a good picture of the restaurant that I got off the internet.

Thank you Ryan for the wonderful night, and for the wonderful last three years.

Congratulations on three years. It sounds like you had a nice evening. Mom said she had a good time with Lucas. I asked her to kiss the backs of the necks of both Lucas and Dallin. She said they were soft.

3 years...are you kidding me? I can't believe it's been that long! Congrats, you two! P.S. I ran the preschool with my 7th graders today, and there was a little kid named Lucas...he was so stinking cute! Must be the name :)
