Anniversary Number 2

For our anniversary we decided to keep it pretty low key and just go to park city for the day and shop. Nothing super glamorous, but still fun. I've been waiting months to go up there and was especially excited to hear about their fossil outlet. I told lance that while we were in Park City we could shop together and then the last half hour separate and buy each other a gift.... that, however, did not go as planned since Lance had apparently ALREADY bought me a "large" gift, and he wouldn't pick out anything that he liked besides a jacket from Nike that wasn't in his size.  Plan failed. We did, however, get Lance two new dress shirts from Van Hussen and I got 2 shirt and a sweater from Banana Republic.  The joys of receiving 8 20% off coupons valid at most of the stores in Tanger!!!

I made Lance a coupon book as a sentimental piece to our Anniversary.  Coupons include breakfast in bed, free lunch date, back massage, 1 free hour of playing xbox... ect.

Just half of our Tanger Outlet Coupons.  We still have 5 left if anyone wants them ;)  I would definitely promote signing up for the tanger club membership (if you are a big shopper at the stores in the tanger outlets.  Its only 10 bucks and you get quarterly 20% off coupons and every time you shop you get a coupon book!!

 

8:00 am - Coupons for Einsteins Bagel.  Lance had to go working with Austin in the morning and I thought they could treat themselves to breakfast!

12:00pm - had to Tanger Coupons in it

2:00pm - had the confirmation to our hotel

6:00 pm - had our IMAX tickets

10:00pm - had the coupon book!

For whatever reason the day before I was at work and decided to surprise lance with a hotel. Looking at all of IHC discounts I found a room at The Plaza for $59.25 when it's normally $129 per night. What a steal! So we went to park city and shopped for 3 hours then I surprised lance with the hotel. We checked in early and took a nap wore heading to Rodizio Grill for dinner. After stuffing our faces with meat we journeyed up to Centerville to watch batman in IMAX (another surprise for lance) and then went back to our hotel to pass out while batman forever was on the TV.
All in all it was a lovely and eventful anniversary date.  

 Lunch in Park City- We keep it classy!

We woke up Sunday morning and had brunch before we checked out and returned home.  I was super excited at the thought of opening my "large present" (as lance kept calling it) and I sat upstairs for almost an hour wondering when he was going to bring it into the house.  The ironic thing is he had my new present set up downstairs the entire time.. and all I needed to do was walk down there to see it!!!

Since the 2nd year anniversary is cotton we got clothes for each other as well as a new ottoman storage container that lance swears there is cotton inside (batting) haha. I think it was more of a gift for himself to hide our ugly stack of board games and surprise! THEY ALL FIT!!

It is crazy how much fun we still have when we hang out with just each other.  Over the past year we have always had someone else living in our home (which we don't mind.  they've helped with our monster puppy), but it is crazy how much in love we still are with each other.  With how busy this past semester has been for me and how crazy the summer working has been for Lance it is nice to have a day dedicated to each other. Spending time just walking around, driving in the car talking and singing, and still having the ability to make each other laugh.  Marriage is a great thing I can't imagine my life NOT being married to Lance.  He's the greatest guy I have ever met.  He has filled the past 24 months of our marriage with more than 24 bouquets of flowers.  He has dedicated his life to working hard and allowing me to pursue my dreams of being a nurse.  He is always motivating me to be the best person I can be, to study hard, to keep exercising and staying healthy, to going to church, to forgiving others, and to being happy and embracing each day as they come and not waiting for the future to happen.  I just love him.
