Our Anniversary








On June 24th, Luke and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. Wow- eight years! That's hard to believe- where has the time gone? We have lived in 5 different cities, in seven different homes including 2 apartments, 1 cool place by the lake, and 4 houses (if you count the month that we lived with his mom and aunt when we first moved to Montana). We have shared many adventures together, as well as joys and sorrows along the way. Luke, I am truly blessed to have you by my side for this journey. Thank you for loving me always and being my best friend. You are one of God's greatest blessings in my life. I love you!

Luke's mom and aunt were kind enough to watch Zane at our house the night after our anniversary so we could go out. We couldn't remember the last time that we had been out on a date- we thought it might have been New Year's Eve. How sad is that? Anyway, we traveled down the road a few miles to the town of
Bigfork. It is a quaint town similar to Salado, for my Texas friends out there. We had a scrumptious dinner at the Bigfork Inn, followed by an enjoyable performance at the Bigfork Playhouse, where actors from across the nation come to perform during the summer. We saw Footloose- I've only seen parts of the movie, never in its entirety. I need to watch it now to compare.

Sidenote: For those fellow former Crusaders out there, what I mostly remember about Footloose, is from a Stunt Night when the Senior Class (Junior?) mistakenly won with their rendition, beating out our class (Freshman or Sophomore?), who should have won with Decent Dancing (at least I'm not bitter, right?!).

Here are some pictures from our wonderful evening. We've got to get out more! I'm sure most of you parents out there can totally relate. We had a great time. Thank you Mom and Noanie for staying with Zane so we could go out, even when you had to get up early for work the next morning.

I can't believe you haven't seen all of Footloose. Get thyself to Blockbuster, Netflix, the library and remedy the situation soon!

Yes, nice changes on the blog! So cute!

You MUST go see Footloose, Darlin'. It's a classic... and has, perhaps, the best first kiss scene in a movie :)

Happy anniversary!

Congratulations on your anniversary and a date night! The updated blog looks very cute. I am still working on the digital scrapbook stuff I think I found the program to use and will start messing with it on the way to Montana - nothing like 34 hours in the car to learn a new program.
