Happy 5th Anniversary to US!

Paul and I had our 5th year anniversary on April 8th. We had family in town that weekend, so we weren't able to celebrate it until 2 weeks ago (the weekend of May13th). But it was TOTALLY worth the wait. We had such a fun weekend. My Mom was so wonderful to come and stay at our house with Porter. It was our first night alone without Porter. We sure missed him and thought about him a lot, but it was wonderful to spend some time with just each other. We started out our little getaway by going to IFLY in Ogden. http://www.iflysfbay.com/ifly-indoor-skydiving
It's like an indoor skydiving place where you are blown around by huge fans in a wind tunnel. Honestly it was SO MUCH FUN!!! While I was flying I couldn't stop laughing. It was just a blast. If you ever get a chance to go, you should totally do it. Here are our pictures and our video from our flying adventure.


Then after flying, we headed out to a delicious little Chinese restaurant called Wing Wah. It was pretty delicious. We both LOVE Chinese food.
And then after dinner we headed up to stay the night up Ogden Canyon in a cabin at the Alaskan Inn. We stayed in the North Pole Cabin (Yay.. Christmas in May) and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. http://www.alaskaninn.com/cabins/npole.html
The cabin was secluded and the surroundings up there were beautiful.

The service was exceptional. When we arrived to our cabin, they had cookies, sparkling cider, and hot chocolate waiting for us. YUMMY! Our cabin was decorated so cute!! Full of all sorts of Christmas decorations. It was so cozy. It was at this cabin that I discovered the most incredible painter ever; Robert Duncan. His work is absolutely beautiful. These 2 pictures were in our room and I LOVE them. Check out his website. I can't wait to order some of this paintings!! :) http://www.robertduncanstudios.com/
Here's some pictures of our cabin. I LOVED IT! And I can't wait to go back sometime soon! :)

There was a HUGE train that we could control that went around a track right above our heads..pretty neat. Nothing like Christmas year around. We were also served an incredible breakfast brought right to the front door of our cabin.
It was absolutely amazing how much we were both able to relax here!! If you haven't stayed here, you should definitely consider it!! Definitely the best place we have stayed.
On our way home, we stopped at a beautiful waterfall at the bottom of Ogden Canyon.
And then stopped at Farr's for the BEST ICECREAM EVER!! DELICIOUS!!
We had such a wonderful time. Thanks so much Mom for babysitting Porter.

I can't believe that it has been 5 years already!! 5 years ago I made the best decision I have ever and will ever make, and that was so marry my sweetheart!! He is my best friend and I am so thankful for him. When God created Paul,
he must have been thinking about me. He is just so perfect for me and I think we make a pretty great team. I can't imagine my life without him. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Paul. You make me so happy and I love you with all of my heart!

Emy! That last paragraph made me cry. I am so glad that you guys got married. I love having you as a sister and I am so grateful you are my brother's wonderful wife.

What a great 5th anniversary. Did Paul pick out the cabin? A Christmas cabin for you is PERFECT! What a romantic, fun anniversary!! I am so glad you were able to do that.

The IFly thing looks crazy fun, too! It looked like they forgot to turn the fan down for you after Paul's turn. Ha ha ha. They needed a tether for you - like a balloon. ;-)

Congrats, I love you both!!

I thought I commented, but I guess not!

I didn't get to see the video, but I can imagine how awesome that would be!! I'm so happy for you two. It's so much fun to see couples who are in so much love. And you guys stayed at such a romantic place! I am just so happy for you. You deserve all the happiness in the world. :)
