5 Year Anniversary
Dec
14
In October 2004 JJ took me to The Roof restaurant and then to the Salt Lake Temple grounds where he proposed. We then married in December 2004.
When we first got married JJ and I decided that for 5th anniversary we would go back to The Roof. It is very pricey but last week in addition to JJ’s graduate stipend the professor he works under paid him extra for some other work he did. The extra payment covered our anniversary date so it was justifiable, besides, fine dining once every 5 years is ok!
Afterward we walked around the Temple grounds and looked at all the lights. They do such a wonderful job with the lights!
Getting to Temple Square wasn’t so fun though. We dropped our kids off at my brother-in-law’s for him and his wife to babysit. What should have been a 15 minute drive from their apartment to our destination turned into a 1 and a half hour drive! The freeway was closed down so everyone was detouring into downtown Salt Lake City while there were several big events going on that night. Finding parking was awful and we ended up having to walk quite a bit. We tried taking the Trax but it was too packed for us to get on. I didn’t mind walking but my feet were sore by the time we got to the restaurant, wearing Naot shoes would have been more comfortable.
We had a wonderful date though and enjoyed spending time together and talking about our next 5 years of marriage. Our actual anniversary is next Monday so we will have to find something to do up in British Columbia on that day!
