Can you believe it?! Only a couple more days and I will have been married for an entire year! Sometimes I still wake up and want to pinch myself to see if I'm dreaming. I spent the better part of about 15 years hoping and praying for the day that I would be sealed to my eternal prince. There were days/months when I'd given up that dream. Now I'm living my dream. That's not to say that this has been the easiest year of my life, but it has been the best. I know I've said it before, but Jeff is my perfect match. I truly believe that we knew each other long before we ever met in this life. He balances me out. He fills in the gaps of my heart and soul. I have learned so much from him...and have become a better person because of it. So...how did we spend our anniversary? I told Jeff that I wanted to be able to get away for a night or two and that he had to plan it. Now, if you know Jeff and I very well, you'll know that Jeff isn't necessarily the "planner" in the duo. In fact, on our honeymoon, I was up for about an hour after our dinner on the first night pouring over the excursion lists from the cruise to decide what we were going to do at each port. All the while, Jeff was sleeping soundly by my side. He jokes that he doesn't need to worry about the details with me around. Still, he did a great job! He booked a room at the Zermatt Resort in Midway. From there, he relinquished the planning duties to me. We left for Midway on Friday. We had planned to do a session at the temple prior to going up the canyon, but there were work emergencies that thwarted that plan. (It was actually a blessing to have the work because this is generally a slow time of year for Southwick Plumbing.) We were finally able to get away around dinner time. We stopped at Mimi's Café to have dinner before making our way to Midway (I had a coupon for a free trio dessert tray for our anniversary...I couldn't pass that up!).

Our room
Once we got to the resort, it was pretty late. We checked into our room and settled in for a quiet evening. It was nice being able to watch TV without interruptions or to be able to simply fall asleep without worrying about getting the kids to bed first. I love simply spending time with Jeff. I don't think I'll ever get tired of having him around. (As a fun side note, during our weekend away a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup fairy visited me. Jeff had secretly planted a dozen of these around our hotel room on different occasions for me to find. Each PB cup had a "thank you" sticky note attached to it listing all the different ways Jeff is thankful for me. I loved it! There was nothing surprising in the notes, but it is always nice to be reminded of those things.)
