3 Year Anniversary

July 25th was our 3 year anniversary!

We were able to celebrate by going shopping at the Park City outlets like we do every year & then we had the opportunity to stay the night at the Homestead Resort in Midway. Thanks to Tim & Megan who we got a gift certificate from, we only paid a total of $8 for everything.

After several hours of shopping, we checked into the Homestead & found our room. It was really nice & cozy. We ate dinner at the restaurant there & splurged for the special occasion. It started to rain as we were eating & didn't stop until the next morning. So we decided after dinner that we would go swimming in the indoor pool & hot tub. We were brave and ventured out to the outdoor hot tub despite the fact that we saw lightening several times.. luckily it wasn't too close :)

I would be lying if I said we slept wonderfully.. we both tossed & turned all night (I think we missed our own bed) & at 2:00am we were awakened by the TV mysteriously turning on! Ya, we were a little freaked out by that!

We woke up & went back to the restaurant for breakfast & I ordered whole grain banana pancakes thinking I was being fairly healthy.. when it came out I couldn't believe my eyes. It was 3 HUGE whole grain pancakes covered in bananas, granola & powdered sugar - with maple syrup to pour on top. I was starving so I attempted to eat some of it.. about 1/3 of the way in, my stomach was NOT happy. I am not used to eating that much sugar so early in the AM. After breakfast we both felt like death & were so very grateful that we don't eat like that on a daily basis!

After breakfast, we went on a walk around the resort to try and burn off the food we had just consumed. Tyler found a lady bug friend & we had fun seeing the Crater. (It's a big hole in the ground with mineral water that you can swim in). We were going to attempt to go golfing.. but decided against it because the course was PACKED.

We loved the Homestead, it was a peaceful place & we are grateful we got to spend our anniversary there together! It's crazy to think that 3 years has already passed since our wedding day.. and even crazier to think that we have been together for almost 5 years!

Here are some pics that I managed to take while celebrating.
