20th Wedding Anniversary: April 10, 2013

Today we celebrated our 20th wedding Anniversary. I can't believe we have been married that long... and yet it just seems like just yesterday we knelt across the altar from one another for the first time.

We tried to make several different plans for a vacation but nothing would work... including going down to Manti and staying at a B&B with our girls and going to the temple on our anniversary with them. How amazing would that have been?! We figured there was a reason and decided to stay home and plan  a great day here. First we got up and went to the temple and did initiatories, followed by the endowments and sealing of Dan's great-great-grandparents. It was incredible. Too sacred to share any of the experiences we had... but we were also able to seal his great-grandfather to his parents along with an infant sister. I love that we share the anniversary of our sealing with them now.

 After the temple we grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed to Sanctuary Spa at Southtowne and had an incredible couples massage. BEST massage I have ever had. And that's saying a lot!!!

We then headed to Salt Lake and went to our favorite "special night out" restaurant...Flemings. It is incredible. This was our dessert to share.

                                                    Wish this picture had turned out better....          

It was an incredible day... sure love my sweetheart!!!! When we got home we spent a little time with our girls and read scriptures... and then the phone rang. Bishop Dan had a major event to deal with at just after 10:00 pm. That was when we realized WHY nothing we had tried to plan would work. We needed to be home that night. It was a wonderful anniversary... I am so grateful for the husband and father that Dan is for me and the girls... and the Bishop he is for our ward. Love you!
