Myke and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary on Saturday. We had a really great day. Myke bought me flowers and ice cream bars and wrote me a sweet note. I’m very romantic and got him a card. (The darn thing cost $3.59. Since when are cards so expensive?) I spent a lot of time reflecting over the past 12 years and by the end of the day I was more in love than ever. We’ve experienced a lot of struggles together and a lot of joy. I’m incredibly grateful to have Mykey.
We drove up to the Portland temple and walked around the grounds. All the way there, Eva kept saying, “See temple. See angel. See Jesus.” She was very excited. We had gone to the temple when my parents were here visiting and Eva hasn’t stopped mentioning it since.
Eva buzzed around the grounds like a little bee and tried to play in the fountains. She pointed out the angel Moroni and repeated over and over that we were at the temple. There was a wedding party having pictures taken and Eva almost dashed into their photos a couple times. I loved being there with my family.
After the temple we stopped for a sandwich at the same shop where we went when my parents were in town. It’s just up the road from the temple and Myke hasn’t stopped talking about the chocolate malt he had there those many weeks ago. He was pretty excited to have another chocolate malt.
We took Eva to the carousel and then took her home to a babysitter. Myke and I went to the spa for a couple’s massage and foot treatment. It was AWESOME. I could have used another four or five hours. I love being beat up by a massage therapist.
We finished off the evening with cheeseburgers and fries. It was very romantic. (And delicious.)
Happy Anniversary, Michael!
