Paul was lucky enough to have Monday off from both work AND the academy! We were both pretty thrilled about that and decided not to complain too much when he got called into work for a bit in the morning....we still had the majority of the day to spend together (besides, I spent the first part he was gone sleeping in anyway!) Because it was still not enough time for our traditional get-away, we're saving that for later (Part 2 of the celebration). I will blog about that when it happens. But here is what we did on on the 8th:
First, we breakfasted on homemade chocolate-chip waffles and ice cream. One of our favorite breakfasts, ever.
Next, we hurried to catch an early showing of 17 Miracles at Provo Town Center mall. What a touching movie! We saved this one to watch on our anniversary and were so glad we did. We loved it! After drying my tears and leaving the theater, we browsed the mall for a while (mostly looking at cute baby girl clothes) and then headed back for a spontaneous second movie, Captain America. Also a great movie though the ending made me mad! It was, after all our anniversary and *spoiler alert* what happened to a happy ending where the guy gets the girl??? Whatever. I guess I didn't have any preparation, not knowing the story and all. It was still fun though and I've since started calling Paul my Captain America, which he really likes. Then, as if two movies wasn't enough (we'd already planned on the third, an early gift to me from Paul) we went back home to watch Hachi, one of the sweetest movies of all times and I cried again! Pregnancy hormones, obviously. We had stopped at Smith's on the way home and picked up some steaks for dinner and enjoyed the rest of a quiet evening. Simple and sweet, it was a wonderful day. Happy Anniversary to my wonderful lover!!! I am the luckiest girl alive to be married to you.
