6 Years

March 12, 2010-We celebrated our 6 year anniversary. This is the 3rd of 6 that we've actually spent together. So we were very happy to be together and have wonderful friends who could watch our kids so we could enjoy a night out.

We rode a city bus to the COEX mall and bought tickets to see a movie. Then headed to the World Trade Tower to eat at a restaurant on the 52nd floor. We heard it was a nice romantic place to eat, which it definitely was. We had a great view of the city. The food was really good and the service was great. Our table had a couch to sit on and was right next to the window with a lit candle.
Here's the view before sunset.
After sunset. Unfortunately we didn't actually see the sun set because it was so overcast, which we later found out was partially yellow sand :( (can it really be that time of year already?).
I didn't really feel comfortable taking pictures in the restaurant because it was very classy and everyone was dressed in business attire, but we snapped a few.

After dinner we got smoothies in the mall and ate churros at the theater while we waited for the movie to start. We saw The Rebound, which was not rated PG-13 like the website said. But it wasn't too bad. Pretty funny actually.
When we got home the kids were sound asleep in their beds (hooray!!) and we watched American Idol (my favorite show). Which must have been fate that it was on because Kris Allen sang a Garth Brooks song, To Make You Feel My Love, which just happens to be the song we danced to at our wedding! How perfectly romantic haha!!
It really was a perfect evening and I couldn't have asked for a better gift than to have my husband here to celebrate our love, life, and friendship. (Disclaimer: this is about to get cheesy!!) In the last 6 years Clint has become so much a part of me. And especially in these last 2 trying years, I have felt our friendship deepen and our love grow more than any other years of our marriage thus far. I've heard people say they married their "best friend", but I don't think I did. I mean, I thought I did, but now I realize I didn't even come close to understanding what it meant to be or have a "best friend". However, I know now, and I look forward to many more trying years that will strengthen us and draw us even closer to one another. I can't wait to celebrate 60 years of marriage! I feel so incredibly blessed to be married to such a wonderful man in this life, as well as the next life. To have him for time and all eternity. What an amazing blessing!! Happy Anniversary to you babe...to us!!

By the way, love the pictures of you and Clint. Good ones for the kids albums.

The other day I was putting pictures in albums and Ellie was here and watching me. Fred came downstairs and there was a picture of me and him that I was putting in the album. He said 'Oh look, a picture of me and grandma" and Ellie said, "it's for the album so when you die we can remember you." I almost peed my pants laughing so hard. I told her that a long time ago and she remembered. Anyway, sorry, just wanted to share why it is important that I have good pictures of you to put in your kids albums. :-)
