...and Baby Makes Four: Happy 5th Anniversary

I can't believe it has been five years! I remember the day we met in the parking lot of Third Place Books! We had the best date I'd ever had. I knew after just a few hours that David was someone that I could spend my life with! At the end of our date, we drove down to Alki Beach to spend the rest of our evening. David excused himself and went to his car. When he pulled out a cooler of pink lemonade, I knew he was a keeper! We both feel so lucky to have found each other and now we have an amazingly beautiful family. We are so blessed.

For our fifth anniversary, David and I decided to get away. This was one of the reasons we decided to get married in the winter. We both love snow and snow sports. What a great reason to get away and play in the snow!

We headed to Lake Wenatchee, right outside of Leavenworth. It was beautiful! We rented a cabin, which came with about 12 inches of snow! The whole family came-David, myself, Caden and Sophie. We loved every minute of it! We spent some time in the town of Leavenworth but a lot of time just relaxing around the cabin and playing in the snow! Sophie was in heaven! She was begging us to go outside every chance she got! We went on a great hike in the snow, where I thought we might be eaten by a snow cat of some kind...thankfully we made it back!

We celebrated our anniversary with dinner at Mountain Springs Lodge. We actually thought we would get married there, but decided that having all of our loved ones attend was more important than a far away destination with tough driving conditions. We have visited many times since, snowmobiling and going on sleigh rides, but we just had dinner this trip. It was fabulous and Caden did great! He was very well behaved and enjoyed his dinner too!
