Happy Anniversary!

On May 11th Mark and I celebrated 6 wonderful years of marriage! He had to work on our actual anniversary, so he planned a get away weekend for us a few days earlier. He told me he got a hotel in a nearby city and we were all going go spend the night, then some friends would tend Gavin and Megan on Saturday so we could have some alone time. He also mentioned that Friday night we were meeting some friends for dinner at 8:30. I lovingly offered to find a babysitter and he kindly replied, "Cassie, I appreciate your help, but please stop! I have everything under control." He had it all planned and I was very surprised when we were on our way out of town and we stopped by a friend's house and left the kids there! Thank you so much Travis and Necia! This was the first night we've had alone since before Megan was born and it was wonderful! It was nice to go to dinner without interruptions, and it was nice to browse at the mall without having to keep an eye on our little ones.
This is the lobby of the Come On Inn where we stayed. It was beautiful!

Mark and I met in October during my freshmen year of college when I was 18. We got married 7 months later in the Idaho Falls Temple. I am impressed by his sincerity and genuine concern for other people. I love his spontenaity (spelling?) and sense of humor, and most of all I appreciate that he always puts me and our children first. We have had many opportunities to learn and grow together and those have brought us closer and made us a stronger couple. I love Mark for countless reasons, and I am so grateful that we have shared 6 years together and I look forward to many more.
