3 years...

Washington Reception

We had a great anniversary on Tuesday. It was wonderful to be able to celebrate without either of us worrying about final exams or work of any sort. The day was full of relaxing and enjoying our time together. Skyler woke up to a delicious German Pancake breakfast in bed. We spent the morning tidying things up and crafting our surprises for one another.


What a handsome man.

In the evening we went out to dinner at Madeline's--a restaurant we have both wanted to try since coming here, but have saved for a special event. It was delicious! I enjoyed the rack of lamb while Skyler savored his stuffed pork chop (no, we are not--nor ever will we be--vegetarians). After our nice dinner out we attended one of the free opera concerts at Cornell. At BYU we frequented many cultural events on our dates so this was a nice way to spend our evening together. We are both happy to say that we still enjoy spending two hours at dinner, just the two of us, and can appreciate a "night on the town" even more than we did 3 years ago.

It was as delicious as it was beautiful.

Lastly, we watched our wedding video. This is actually the first anniversary that we have had it, so it was a special time to enjoy remembering the special occasion and the feelings of anticipation we had at the time, knowing that we would soon be embarking on this chapter of our lives.

Now we are embarking in a new chapter, no more school and starting a family. What a great three years it has been!

It's a little scary how much you look like Skyler's mom in that wedding picture.
Sounds like you guys had a fun anniversary.

It is crazy how much I can look like Sky's mom sometimes. Can you tell that my mom is actually the one standing next to Sky? We can all look quite a bit alike.

...they say you usually marry somebody very similar to your mom...

I am very jealous about dessert at Madeline's, by the way.

Congrats! And good job on the baby book. I just wrote in the last page of Bennett's book today... I guess he's not a baby anymore :)
