2nd Anniversary!

today was out second anniversary and man is time flying by! last week we talked about it and decided that we wouldn't do anything special for it, ya know just lay around the house, go to a nice place to eat, and call it good. we couldn't even think of anything to get each other. then derek, the great guy that he is, decided to plan something. even though he was getting off graveyards saturday morning he still wanted to celebrate the day!

when i woke up in the morning there were flowers on the table. probably the prettiest ones i've ever gotten
and derek even arranged them himself!
derek got home at 11 and we exchanged gifts. he gave me a canon SX20IS camera, skechers "shape ups" :) and the office season 5! (sorry no pictures) and i geniusly came up with the idea to buy him golf clubs! he said he wanted to seriously start playing this summer, so i thought what the heck?! so if you golf he needs someone to go with and teach him the ways of the course ;)

we took the scenic route down to the Flaming Gorge Dam and ate lunch at Red Canyon Lodge. it was pretty good, but always hard to drive home on a full stomache. so i ended up sleeping on the drive home. (i know i am a horrible wife, my husband stays up all night working and i decide to take a nap.) but here are some pictures i was able to take before nodding off.

On the drive home we decided that we still needed one more thing to make our anniversary complete... a grill! so we stopped at home depot and got a smokin deal on this one! and we want to try it out tuesday afternoon/evening and have a bbq so let us know if you can come and i'll send you a text with details!
and note the background... we also worked outside and started on our walkway. we put weedstop down and covered it with bark and put little lights next to our wall, and i think it looks amazing!

at about 8 we finally went inside and derek played with his golf clubs for a little while i planted some more of my seeds. I've got extra bell peppers if anyone needs some starts for their garden and depending how my cucumbers, zuccini, and summer squash turn out i'll probably have extras of those too.

we ended the day with a trip to cold stone, the most delicious ice cream joint on planet earth and sadly caught the end of the jazz game loss. come on jazz! but it made for a great 2nd anniversary!
