Our 5th Anniversary!

Last Friday, May 25th was our 5-year anniversary! It is hard to believe 5 whole years have gone by. Katie and Daniel graciously offered to take the boys overnight so we could have a long date! It was so wonderful to get to spend 24 hours kid-free (of course we missed them, but 24 hours is hardly long enough to painfully miss them (am I right, moms?), especially when we knew they were having a blast and we were too). Kevin surprised me with the place: The Vintage Plaza in Portland, which was super-fun. They have the biggest bathtubs ever, so I was in heaven. We had a great dinner at Typhoon (within walking distance from our hotel) and then we walked around downtown a little and stopped to get coffee/chai. The next morning we slept in (heaven again!) and went to brunch at Blossoming Lotus (a vegan,raw restaurant in the Pearl) before heading over to the Barefoot Sage for feet/leg massages and soaks. It was SO relaxing - I highly recommend it to everyone (you were right, Amber-Rose, it is the BEST)! Then we caught a movie (Shrek - nothing too amazing, but fun all the same seeing a movie in a theater), and headed back in time for a happy-hour at Oba (where we ate dinner on our wedding day). Then we picked up the boys (who had been LOVING their time with K, D, and Johanna) and went home. It was a wonderful weekend and I'm so thankful to be married to such a loving, Godly, servant-hearted, just-plain-amazing guy. I'm truly grateful and blessed.
