Happy Anniversary Love!

Chris and I celebrated our 5th anniversary this week. I am so grateful for Chris. He is the perfect compliment to me and I to him. He's funny and strong and the best priesthood holder I could hope for in my home. He'll tell you he's lazy, but he is a very hard worker and takes his responsibilities (at home, school and church) very seriously. He is an amazing dad! His kids idolize him. He is the best I.T. guy a family could ask for. Our technical situation at home is envious. He supports all nine thousand pots I've got my hands in and helps me with everything! He still makes me crazy on a regular basis, but I wouldn't trade him for anything! We decided at the Cheesecake Factory on Friday that we're much better now than we were 5 years ago. Learning how to live with someone is definitely a good thing. We also have learned how to fight with each other. We had some knock down drag outs in the first few years - now when we disagree, we just don't talk much for a few hours until it blows over. Something I definitely prefer! :-)

Chris made my day SUPER special. Since sending me to the spa for the afternoon could never happen on our budget, he brought the spa to me! He totally researched how to do all this and then ordered everything on the internet. It was fun to see all these little packages arriving all week long and speculating what was in them. So in the middle of the day Friday, I got a spa afternoon! I got a full body massage (candlelit w/ Beethoven playing) with hot rocks (AWESOME!) then a coconut milk, candlelit bath and then a delicious mango lotion massage to end. I felt glorious afterward. He got his first new set of scriptures since seminary. Then sweet Erica and Tom watched the kids so we could go on a date. It was a wonderful day.

I love you Chris. Here's to the next 5!!
