5 years

Last weekend Ritchell and I celebrated 5 years of marriage! We decided to take the weekend and spend it up in Salt Lake.

Saturday, we first went out to breakfast at IHOP with AnaBelle.

After breakfast we dropped Ana off at a friend's house for the night. We then went to Salt Lake. Our first stop was at the Clark Planetarium. We got tickets to see Deap Sea 3D in their IMAX theater.

After the movie, we walked around the Gateway mall and Ritchell did a little shopping.

We then decided to go to a restaurant that we went to after our wedding, the Blue Iguana Mexican restaurant. We hadn't been there since the day of our wedding. The food was OK. We thought it was a bit spicy though. The salsa they had with the chips was so spicy we felt it burn all the way down into our stomachs! Despite the spice, it was fun to go back to the restaurant where we first ate together as a married couple.

After eating, we decided to take a carriage ride through the city. It was nice a peaceful. Our guide was very nice and told us a lot about all of the old buildings in downtown Salt Lake.

We also went to see the movie 'Traitor.' The movie was interesting. It gave a little bit of insight into our modern world of terrorism.

After spending two days in Salt Lake, we missed AnaBelle. :) We bought her some new boots for the coming winter.

This past week we have just been busy working and also trying to get settled into our new house. We have had to search for someone to finish our cabinets because of a problem we had with the guy we originally hired to do the job. We finally found a company that will do it for us, but they will not come in and finish until the end of this week. We're excited to get it all done and really be able to move in.

As soon as we are actually moved in, we'll have some pictures of the house completed.

Yesterday we had our good friends Pat, Shala, and Brennley over. We watched the BYU vs. UCLA football game and had home-made ice-cream. It was fun to spend time with them and watch BYU whip UCLA 59-0.

Other than that, not much going on. We'll have more exciting updates soon.
