4 Years and counting....

Last week Nick and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary. Nick surprised me by planning an overnight trip for us. He took me to Happy Sumo (one of our favorite sushi places to dine) and then we spent the night at the Alaskan Inn.

We dropped Reagan off at Nick's parents for the night. It was our first night away from her, and I feel like I did pretty well. I only made Nick call to check on her 4 times.

Nick and I both kept talking about how excited we were to have a night of uninterrupted sleep! Unfortunately for us, the beds at the Alaskan Inn were VERY uncomfortable and neither of us slept well. I suppose you live and learn. Next year we will make sure to get a room at the Marriott, or at Little America so that we can have a comfortable bed to sleep in.

On a more positive note the breakfast the Alaskan Inn served was delicious!

I was so excited that Nick planned something romantic. I'd have to say this was my favorite Anniversary yet. I appreciate Nick's parents graciously taking Reagan for the night (they said they'd do it again, but I don't know if they were coherent when they made that statement? I think they felt like walking Zombies the whole next day). I can't wait to see what Nick comes up with next year. I feel a little badly because Nick planned all of that for our Anniversary, and my gift to him was a new battery for his laptop (how's that for romantic?!) he seemed to like it though.

I always tease Nick because we had known each other for 12 years before he even "noticed" me (in a romantic way). I tell him that if he weren't so clueless we could have been married for 8 years already! Honestly though, I wouldn't change a thing about the way our story went. I enjoy the institution of marriage and look forward to many more happy years with Nick.
