Happy 7th Anniversary!

It is hard to believe that 7 years ago today we were getting married! In some ways it feels like it just happened, and in other ways it feels much longer than 7 years.
In 7 short years, we have finished school and prepared for grad school, started careers, moved 8 times, had 2 1/2 kids, bought and sold a house, started a 401K, traveled to foreign countries, lost jobs, served in major church callings, and had many, many other wonderful adventures.
I am grateful for our temple marriage and the blessings that has brought to not only our marriage, but our family. We have been through good times and bad, but have always felt so blessed! We are blessed to have each other and I am grateful that Heavenly Father saved such a wonderful guy just for me!
To celebrate, we ran away for the weekend. My family took the kids (thank you Katy, Mom, and Dad) so we could go have some alone time!
We filled the day by doing thing we don't get to do very often. We started by going to this wonderful place. We always go to the temple and do sealings on our anniversary.
Then we went to the movies and saw the last Harry Potter movie. IMAX 3D! It was awesome!
We had some yummy food in downtown Salt Lake for dinner and then went to an amazing concert by Josh Groban. Love this guy!! It was a wonderful concert and I am so glad we got to go!! We realized we haven't been to a concert since I was pregnant with Adam. So it has been a while!
Today we slept in!!! That was our big treat! We had a delicious breakfast and enjoyed Temple Square for a couple of hours. Now we are home with the kids and I think that is the perfect way to spend the rest of our anniversary. ( I think I missed them more than Eric did.)
The last 7 years have been full and wonderful! I can only imagine what the next 7 years hold for us and our little family.
Happy Anniversary!
