Happy Anniversary, Sugar




Ok, so I just threw up a little bit in my mouth when I typed that. Randy and I are not one for pet names. It's not that I don't like being called "honey" or "sweet cakes" or "cupcake" all the time... oh wait, yes it is. Anyway, it's our 4 year anniversary today. Hoo-rah! It's been so fun looking through our old pictures that I have on the computer (because we are in Logan today, at Randy's parents house. Jealous much? I think everyone should spend their Anniversaries at their in-laws. It's magical.) and reminiscing about how giddy-excited we were to get married for time and all eternity and to start our journey together.

It's so fun to laugh at ourselves in the pictures and talk about how nervous we were and what we would change, if we could, on that day... like going to pick up Randy at 6:30 AM at his hotel so we could go get our awesome spray on tans... now that we can look back and laugh (not cry), probably wouldn't have done that. We stunk all day of tanning spray, Randy was orange, and I had ginormous lines on my hands. Or how about when Randy left me at the temple to get to the luncheon? Hahaha. I had to hitch a ride with my parents to get to my own luncheon. That's right... I was left at the temple, not the altar. Or never forget when Randy had prepared a "special number" for me at the luncheon... and sang Kip's song from Napoleon Dynamite. You know the one... "but I still love technology, but not as much as you you see, always and forever....always and forever". Yeah, hilarious. Except for the fact that Napoleon Dynamite was still kind of new and NONE of my family had seen it and therefore could not appreciate the humor there. Instead of laughing, I kept looking nervously at my brothers who were shaking their heads, thinking ohhh DaNae, what have you done telling them "it's from NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!!" Now we can look back and laugh at these things, but on my wedding day it might as well have been Armageddon.

It's been quite the 4 years. We have been through a whole heck of a lot together already, I can't imagine going through it with anyone else. I look forward to the journey ahead. I'm so glad I married a man with the same sense of humor as me. What fun is life if you can't laugh at it? Happy Anniversary, sweet cheeks.

P.S. Not that you care... but we really do plan on actually celebrating in a more not-so-awkward scenario... the romance hasn't been all lost. We fully intend on booking a hotel of some sort very soon and taking advantage of some babysitting promises. =0P

Happy Anniversary guys. Those wedding day stories are sooo funny, thanks for sharing. Four years comes FAST huh, before you know it you'll be approaching 7, like me. Crazy how time flies.

Your wedding was way fun! We got the joke when Randy sang you the technology song, we were mostly laughing at what your family must have been thinking! You 2 are great together. P.S. My nieces loved the bracelets! Thanks DaNae
