five years (happened in vegas}

We have been married 5 years!  

We decided to celebrate in Las Vegas. 

We started out the long weekend with some golf on our actual anniversary, October 11th.  I smile because I wonder how many girls would be excited to go golfing on their anniversary... this girl, I was stoked!!

The weather was perfect!  It was a beautiful day and we had a blast!

That night we (I) got all dolled up to go out to a fancy dinner.  We went to a Thai restaurant just off the strip. On a spicy scale of 1-10 we ordered a 3.... and some of it still burned my lips off!!  I can't imagine a 10!!

The food was delicious, we will definitely go to Taste of Siam again!

We walked along the strip after dinner before turning in for the night.

For our 5 year anniversary Jake gave me two wedding bands to wear on each side of my ring!!  I am in love and can't stop staring.  It looks like a completely new ring!

The next day we did a little shopping and then got ready for the Cirque de Soleil show.

Neither of us had ever been to a Cirque show and we were excited because we have heard so many good things about them.  We went to The Beatles LOVE, and it did not disappoint.  One of the most amazing things I have ever seen.  We loved it!

We walked around the Belagio Gardens after the show.

We also watched the Belagio fountains, they are mesmerizing!

One of my dreams was to have frozen hot chocolate at Serendipity... and we did it!

We got a cookies and cream frozen hot chocolate, it was so good!!

Out last day we went shopping a little and headed on our way home back to chilly SLC!  I'm so glad that we can spend so much time together and we are still so in love.  We have so much fun and I'm excited for 50 more anniversaries with this hunk!

{downtown} date night

Ya know after you've been married for a few years, you start to be okay with just staying in and renting a red box for a "date night"?  We never do that... 

Jake surprised me when he planned this fabulous date!  

He picked my up is this hot little number...

We drove up emigration canyon and ate dinner at a fun little cafe with live music.

We walked around downtown SLC.

We stopped to pick up some snacks... can you guess whose is whose?

I went with a homemade carmel apple and Jake chose sushi :)  

We shared the coconut gelato.

We stayed at the Hotel Monaco for the night.

The next morning the new iPhone came out and we waited in line for Jake to get his new toy!  Like a kid in a candy story, a really expensive candy store ;)

It was a fabulous romantic date out on the town!
