Lucky #7: Our Anniversary

Happy 7 years to us today!  Lucky #7, woo.  This is the year we make it or break it, right?  We'll make it.  This year of 2012 I wanted to take you back through our last 7 glorious years. We'll take you though the main holidays we've had the past 7 years and show you how our life together has been full of adventure before and after children and what it has grown into now.  We were married in the Bountiful, UT Temple in the mid-morning, then had the normal wedding day.  Though it was winter, we had a beautiful clear day.  We chose this location because we had the valley on one side and our mountains on the other side.  The mountains have become very important to us, as that is where we have been a lot these last 7 years.

The big day happened January 13, 2005
We exchanged vows to love each other through thick and thin for the eternities

1st Year Anniversary 2006
St. George, UT [Mobile Home] & Las Vegas, NV [Bellagio]
We started in Spencer's grandparents mobile home in Hurricane, UT.  It was freezing!  We played games and watched the little t.v. they had.
After 2 nights we continued on to Las Vegas for a couple nights at the Bellagio!  We ate lots of yummy food and had fun in their swimming pool outside.  It's January and we got to swim!

2nd Year Anniversary 2007
Midway, UT at Spencer's parent's Cabin 
Crackling fires every night, sledding, lots of movies and of course yummy food!  Nice and relaxing since there's not much else to do around there in the winter.

3rd Year Anniversary 2008
Midway, UT at Spencer's parent's Cabin 
again, Crackling fires every night, Cross Country Skiing and Tubing, games and of course yummy food!  This was my first time ever on ski's [been snowbarding a few times] So it took a little time to get the hang of it!  But I got it!  We LOVED cross country skiing!  Of course, Spencer is a natural.

5th Year Anniversary 2010
Midway, UT at Spencer's parent's Cabin 
[this was supposed to be a big, faraway adventure loaded one, but we decided to be pregnant instead]
Since I was 8 months pregnant we took the safe route and stayed close to home and relaxed.
Short blog post here of details
On the actual day we went to Cheesecake Factory for some delicious cheesecake, of course!

6th Year Anniversary 2011
St. George, UT
Hike, Golf, Temple.  Having a child now cuts down the time away we have, for now at least with the younger kids.  We both missed Allstar very much, but definitely made the best of the couple days we had, in the somewhat nice weather!  Blog post HERE
