4 year anniversary!

So it's been four years since Hank and tied the knot! The time has flown. For our anniversary we went out to dinner and a movie. It was really fun and romantic (The Dark Knight was awesome!). During dinner Hank and I made a top ten list of the highlights of the past four years. they might not be fun for anyone else but I liked them so I am going to post them anyway. I love being married, there is so much joy and happiness in this kind of life. I am so grateful I found someone who I care about and who cares about me.

Top Ten (in no particular order)

1. Skydiving on our honeymoon

2.Eating a box of Bertie Bot's every flavor Bean in Old town San Diego during our 1st anniversary.

3. Hiking up the 3rd most famous mountain in China with two Italians guys we found along the way. I have never been more physically exhausted and Hank and I after the hike have never eaten so much KFC.

4. Going to BYU with the intention of going to the ward's Valentine's Day dance but getting lost and ending up wandering through every building on campus while talking.

5. Restaurant hopping one evening on Borcay beach in the Philippines, so romantic!

6. Spending half a day hiking up Rock Canyon Park in Provo and learning why my hands swell up on a hike, and spending the other half of the day swimming in a lake up in Payson.

7. Reading the 7th Harry Potter book out loud to each other and finishing it in 2 days. We had to an emotional release walk after the experience.

8. Trying to save money so spending a week eating nothing else but the free food supplied by our Starving Student Cards.

9. Getting caught in a rain storm in China, we were too frugal to take a cab, so we ran home on the train tracks. As soon as the water began to gush from the sky Hank took me behind a tree and kissed me, then we ran all the way home. When we got to the school everyone was laughing at us.

10. Every night before going to bed wrapping our arms around each other. We both agree this is our favorite time of the day.


There are a so many more and I know there will be many many more as the years go on.

Hey Badu & Badank!! It was so great seeing you last week, even though it was limited. I'm so glad you took the time to watch the video. I pretty much had to turn it off too when I was about to cry & barf at the same time (which was a first for me).

On a happier note this is one of the sweetest blog posts mankind has ever known (accept for the part about dirty old KFC) J/K :) Why do your hands swell up on a hike??
