Month: August 2021 (Page 2 of 2)

Today we celebrate 19 years of marriage. 🎊

Being a Monday, a pandemic, and the unremarkable number nineteen, we kept it simple.

Ben brought me a mass of sunset colored roses.

We had dinner at a local Japanese restaurant with nice outdoor seating. Ben loved his ramen and I had delicious beef curry, shumai, and veggie tempura.

Not wanting to rush home, we gazed into each other’s eyes and said

“Target?”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

Ok, lame I know. But immediately after our ceremony at the temple we went to Target in full wedding attire. We wanted to pick up a cold drink on our way to the ring ceremony!

So really, the first thing we did in our marriage was go to Target. It’s sentimental!

Yeah, Ben is laughing in the pic because I treated it like a thing. But it IS a thing to me!

We are still so in love and so happy we followed our young foolish hearts 19 years ago. 💕

I love you, Ben.

Earlier this month we all enjoyed another summer “Gramp Camp.” The kids packed up for 10 days in Grand Junction, sharing time between both grandparents. It looks like they had a great time! Lots of swimming and lots of video games. Lots of spoiling by doting family with late bedtimes and many sweets. A very good week for kids by any standard.

After delivery the kids, Ben and I eagerly planned out a relaxing week of quiet at home. Ben took time off work to make it true vacation. We went to two movies at the Alamo – In the Heights and Black Widow. I took a fun daytime hip hop dance class that I usually can’t attend. We made many day trips to parts of the Front Range to see friends and eat good food. I also ate ice cream almost every day!

Thank you to all my family for taking care of the kids and driving them back. We had an amazing, relaxing week to explore locally and rejuvenate our minds.
