Happy Anniversary to Me!!

This is the actual place we are staying!!

You may recall my last wedding anniversary, it left much to be desired, to say the least. Well, this June is our 10th anniversary and, even though it won't be until October, it most definitely will not be forgotten because....I JUST BOOKED OUR TICKETS TO MAUI!! I am so excited!! A few things had to happen to make this possible:
  • I have 2 extremely generous parents who are letting us use their timeshare at the Marriott resort
  • Ray got an Alaskan Airlines credit card for work which came with a $50 companion fare certificate
  • Flights to Maui have gone down about $400 in the last few months (I have been watching)
  • This one is the most important...I have an amazing mother who must be a glutton for punishment because she has offered to watch my 4 children for a week while we go (soccer, kindermusik, and halloween...need I say more?)
Now I just have to lose the rest of my baby weight...but I am much more motivated if I have a goal!!

This will be me and Ray in the pool :)

That should be really fun~ I suppose October won't come fast enough for you! It will be excellent to have a little couples' time and although the week will fly by, it will be filled with memories for you both!

So jealous!!! You really got the hook-up, too! So nice to be able to do that without worrying about how much money you are spending. That would be good motivation to lose weight.

We are going to be leaving Piper overnight for the first time next month to go to a concert in Missoula. Mike's mom is coming all of the way from Portland to babysit. Both of our birthdays plus Valentine's Day are next month so it's nice that we are actually going to do something even if it is only for a night. Piper has only been away from both of us for a couple of hours so it should be interesting.

The countdown is on, only 274 more days until October. We're actually starting to plan our 10 year trip that will be in like 15 months.
So many social engagements, so little time.

Becky! That is so awesome! We just booked tickets last week to Hawaii too!!! Like I said in our anniversary post that we didn't do anything for our ten year and we decided forget it let's just go!!!! We were debating between Maui and Kauai but decided on Kauai. You deserve it and I forget how much I need stuff like that until I actually do it.

I spent three hours yesterday when I found a box of pictures from all three of our houses and RDC. Did all of that really happen? I found one of you and me at trolly square on a double date. I was with Travis from Weslo. I have so many pictures of you Becky. I am going to get my scanner fixed and post some. We met so many amazing people at RDC and Utah State seems unreal. Made me so sad though to see the people that I used to be close with and not have any idea where they are or what they are doing.
I have to post this one picture of you from a wedding that we went to on Church Island and you in that dress that we all died over! Do you remember that?
We will miss you and Leslie this next weekend but maybe next year....congrats on continuing your family Becky. You've created a beautiful life for yourself! Love you!
