October 4th was Josh and I's fourth anniversary! We celebrated a little earlier since the day fell on a Sunday this year.
On Thursday nite, we left Reece here with her Grandma Beckloff while we headed down to Gateway for some dinner. We ate at Ztejas (we were not impressed!) and wished we had gone with California Pizza Kitchen instead. Guess we'll have to go back sometime! After that, we headed to the Armstrong Mansion. Our friends have stayed there a few times and recommended it to us. It's an old house that serves as a bed and breakfast. We got the August room. It was a cute little room, and it had stairs that led up to a loft where the jacuzzi tub was. Josh made himself a little bubble hot tub (I didn't get in since preggo ladies aren't supposed to sit in super hot water - just dipped my feet in) and we relaxed for awhile.
The next morning there was a delicious breakfast waiting downstairs for us. It was sooooo tasty! After breakfast we got ready, checked out, and headed up to Park City to hit the outlets. We spent most of the day up there, and found some great deals.
It was just so nice for Josh and I to have that time alone together, without having to worry about Reece, or work, or school. We had such a great time and hopefully we'll get to do it again another time soon before our next anniversary rolls around!
Here are some numbers to represent our four years together: (stole this idea from Kimberly - thanks!)
- 1 beautiful sealing in the Bountiful Utah temple
- 2 fun filled receptions with lots of good food, family, and friends (Salt Lake and Oregon)
- 1 mini honeymoon in Park City
- 1 honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas Mexico
- 1 rental apartment
- 6 house offers
- 1 house that we own!
- 1 associate's degree
- 0 new cars = 0 car payments
- 2 jobs for Josh (Macey's and IMC)
- 3 years teaching first grade (6 years total!)
- 1 school move (from Draper to Monte Vista)
- 1 surgery
- 1 pet (sorry, our goldfish don't count - there's been too many!)
- 1 beautiful baby to make us a family of three (soon to be four!)
- 4 pregnancies
- 1 breakdown on the drive to Oregon
- 3 Sunriver trips
- 2 wards
- 4 church buildings
We've had a few disagreements along the way, added a lot more laughs (and they just keep coming) and tons of love that just gets stronger every day!
I love you Josh!

I'm glad you found a fun way to celebrate your anniversary!
(even though I still think you should have come up here for it!) You guys definitely deserved some alone time together. Your schedules are so booked all the time. Happy Anniversary!! Still so glad Josh is part of the family! (and you too, of course) :)
It's hard to imagine it but after almost 31 years, marriage is the best of all the best things in my life! Happy 4th Anniversary and many many more to come! Babies too!
Glad you guys were able to get away and have a good time. Can you believe that Matt and I still have not had a night alone together since Luke was born! Glad you could go, wish we could have warned you about Ztejas...we like Biaggi's italian at the gateway. You will have to try that next time! I like your list, that was cool!
How lucky to have been able to have a night out alone!! Sounds like you guys had a great time. I can't believe it has already been 4 years, time goes by so fast! Happy Anniversary!
happy anniversary love birds!

I'm way behind on this, but congratulations on the coming soon little one! It is always exciting when a new life comes into the world! :)
