5 Years And Counting!!



June 4th was our Anniversary and we have been married for 5 years!! CRAZY huh! I love Justin! He is so great! Well, for our anniversary we went to Las Vegas. Justin's parents and Becky drove out from Virginia to watch the kids for us. We left Wednesday and didn't get back until Saturday for a Stoker Reunion.
We didn't get there until like 3 a.m. so once we checked in we just crashed. We stayed at the Imperial Palace next to Harrah's and the Mirage. It was a really nice hotel. We got the suite so there was this HUGE bath tub right in the middle of the room, and we had a balcony and it overlooked the pool! It was a huge pool and REALLY nice.




So Thursday we got up in time for lunch. (It felt soooo good to sleep in) We ate at the Emperor's Buffet! It was HORRIBLE!!! I got sick and we spent like 50 bucks! It was totally not worth it. So after lunch we headed over to Sam's Town and watched a movie. We saw Ghost's of Girlfriends Past. It was hilarious and cute! I loved it! Then we went bowling, and then to dinner at Panda Express. After dinner we watched this little water show they had inside the hotel at Sam's called Mystic River. It was really good. After the show we hit the streets of Vegas, and rode on the Gondola's! It was AMAZING!! They serenaded you while they pushed you around! It was great. After, we walked over by Treasure Island, and the Mirage. Then we stopped at a place called Serendipity 3. It was so cool cause it felt like we were eating at Serendipity in New York. (We've never been to the one in NY, but it still felt cool) We got ice cream and then went back to the hotel for a little shut eye.

Friday we got up and went to Alberston's to buy some breakfast and lunch. We got back to the hotel and ate our lunch (cause once again we slept in) and then went down to the pool. We swam and then layed out for like an hour! It was a blast. After that we got ready to hit the streets of Vegas once again. We ate lunch at a place called Chipotle Grill. It was really good. Then we walked all the way down to the M&M Factory and bought the kids some m&m's and a cup. Then we went over to the New York Hotel and rode the roller coaster. It was a blast! Then we watched the Bellagio water show and then went on the Eiffel Tower overlook and watched the show from up there! It was fun and amazing! By the time we made it all the way down there and back it was pretty late so we bought some cards and went to the room and played some games.




Saturday we woke up early and drove back to Nephi, picked up some things, and then went up to Salt Lake for the Stoker reunion. Carol and Randal said the kids were great and Zoey even slept through the night!! How rude huh?! She won't even do that for me!

I was so excited to see the kids. It was a great trip and I'm glad that I have eternity to spend with Justin!! I love you HUN!

It is so nice to wander and do what you want. Just getting away for a few days together alone is worth all the effort to get there. I am glad you had such a great anniversay. And I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY HAS BEEN MARRIED 5 YEARS!!!!! Holy Moly.

5 years huh, It seem like we were just there and the five year mark for some reason felt like a big mile stone. I'm so glad that you were able to get out and go have fun with out the kids. And I think that it is amazing that Justins family would drive all the way out there Just to watch the kids. Congradulations. and in another 5 years it will be the big 10.
