Four Greatest Years...

For My Wife, My Love

"The man who is deeply in love with his wife is a man who has all he could want in this life."

You smiled at me,

and I saw beauty.

You held my hand,

and I felt magic.

You kissed my lips,

and I knew love.

You married me,

and I found everything

that any man could hope for in this world.

Happy Anniversary Melanie

For My Sweet Husband...

"Somehow,

in this great big universe,

I found

the right man for me.

And ever since,

life's been sweeter...

better...

fuller...

You make me happy -

happier than

I ever thought possible.

I can't imagine life without you,

love without you,

or any other good thing

without you.

You're the only man for me.

Happy Anniversary Troy

Journey to Bear Lake...

We went up to Bear Lake this past weekend with Phillip and his family. It was a last minute trip because I was dying to go somewhere. Anywhere. So Phillip and Holly said they were going to be up at Bear Lake that weekend and wanted us to tag a long and stay with them in a sweet town home there. I had never been to Bear Lake before so I was so excited. Troy has gone a few times when he was little. Tyson called it "going on a journey" the whole drive up there. He was so excited to see his cousins too. So we packed up our new Honda Accord (better for gas mileage) and headed north. It was such a beautiful drive. The trees were starting to change and the weather was just perfect. Here are some pictures of the journey...


Isn't Logan just adorable!?

It was gorgeous up there and we're seriously looking into buying a vacation home up there with Phillip and Holly because we loved it so much. The views were incredible. It reminded us a lot of Hawaii - except it was in the mountains and colder. Golfing was probably our favorite part as a family. Holly and I just drove around with the kids on the golf carts and hit a few balls. Tyson got to try some fishing for the first time and he just loved it. It was so adorable. One of those moments where you just love life and are so happy. I love my husband and children. They truly are my joy.
