5 Years 4 Days 2 hours...

For our 5 year wedding anniversary, Josh and I took a weekend trip to Park City. It was the perfect getaway because we just did a lot of relaxing which we both needed desperately. My parents were kind enough to watch Meili on Friday night and meet us for lunch in Park City on Saturday. We had never both been away from Meili overnight, and she had a total of 5 different babysitters last week, so I was really nervous about how she would handle it. Luckily, my mom and dad said she was perfect (their words not mine.) My dad even commented to my mom that he wasn't sure if Meili knows how to cry. Well, I think most of can attest that she definitely does know how, but nevertheless, I was glad it went so well. She was also awesome for Josh and I. I wasn't sure how she would do with naps, and sleeping through the night etc, and I'm happy to say she slept great both nights, and took all her regular naps (which meant Josh and I also took all her regular naps. Two naps a day is WONDERFUL!!)
This is Good Thymes where we went for lunch one day.

And we took Meili swimming for her first time, and took A LOT of pictures, because she is just so cute!
I would like to point out that her hair never got wet, so if you notice that it looks wet in the pictures, that's because Josh greased her head up with so much sunscreen that it took two washes to get it out.
We got her a little boat to float around in, and I was so glad that we did because it kept her shaded.
This face doesn't show it, but she really did like swimming.
If Meili could talk, she would say, "Would someone fetch me a refreshing beverage?"

So cute!
As I said, lots of pictures, and that's only like half of them!

This next picture is to show Meili's first ever pony tail. I think my parents played some kind of trick on us, because they had her for less than 24 hours, but I swear, she grew up so much!!! Maybe it was the pony tail.

And to commemorate our first 5 years, I included some pictures of some of the highlights. They would have been better, but I hate BLOGGER!!!
Our wedding. June 24, 2006

We went to my friend's wedding in December of '06. I had to include this picture because the San Diego temple is where Josh actually wanted to get married.

Our cruise in December of 2007.

New York in 2008.

Many basketball games and football games over the years.

Happy 5 years! I doubt a getaway would be that smooth for us. Way to go! And... I would definitely get that sweet girl a refreshing beverage! :)

She is so sweet! Macie asked about Meili the other day... :). Congrats on five years. We sure miss you guys. Don't forget to call us when you come this way, or if you need more babysitters in the Salt Lake area. :)
