Together4Ever

Have we really been together and complaining about weight gain for FOUR years?! Do you think that's why Chris got us a gym pass for our anniversary gift? I still am a little in denial about all of this! About the being together for four years--not the gym pass. There's no denying that it's about dang time we got one. "We're feeling skinny, Tony!"(we're not friends if you don't know what movie that quote is from)

In all seriousness though, it's SO weird to think Chris and I have been together for FOUR years now. Four just sounds so...... mature? Experienced? Like we shouldn't be fighting over the remote anymore? Like, do we reeaallllly have to give up the "newlywed" title now? Clearly I'm still in denial, but at the same time, it totally makes sense we're now on year four. I feel like this last year we've grown closer than ever before. I guess it's true what they say, marriage really does get better with time (er.... is that what they say about wine?).

This year we kept it pretty low key, since it's pretty hard to top being in Disneyland like we were last year for our 3rd anniversary (you can read about here and here), but I'd be lying if I said I didn't try and convince Chris to take me back for this anniversary. Spoiler alert: He said no. I was completely fine with settling for a fancy dinner at our all time favorite, Alamexo, and then going home and making skookies and watching BYU basketball (my gift to Chris ha!).

Of course we took our traditional anniversary picture! We took some at the restaurant in Salt Lake, but then I made Chris take another one at home, since I felt like that picture would be more "us," you know, because sweatpants and couch (and now I'm even more grateful Chris got us a gym pass after typing that).

Man, Chris is such a good sport about taking this picture on our anniversary.

Speaking of Chris... I freaking love that guy. There is no one who knows me or loves me better than he does. He makes me the happiest and is always there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on (how is his shoulder not just a big prune by now?!). Chris is so selfless and always looks on the bright side of things. How in the world did I get him to settle for me and then put up with me for these past 4 years?! I'm seriously still trying to figure out what I even bring to the table in this marriage...besides quite literally dinner.

Even if I still can't fully understand how I got Chris to marry me there is one thing I know for sure: Our love is FOURever! Sometimes even eternity doesn't seem long enough.

Love you, Chris! Here's to year 4!
