Bliss

Me and Mike at the Salt Lake Temple 6/11/02
Mikey feeding me the wedding cake.
Outside of our reception at Heritage Gardens.
My Grandpa Howard Barben sealed us, it was really sweet!
Today is our six year anniversary. Thinking back to that day I remember being so excited. I absolutely loved our wedding day- even the reception. Mikey looked so handsome and he seemed so nervous, it was too cute! After that wonderful day we flew off to Australia for our honeymoon. What I wouldn't give to be back there in our condo looking out over the bay at the Opera House. It was so much fun, we have so many great memories from that trip and the many trips we have taken together since then. Because we have a fairly new baby and we are on a bit of budget we didn't really do much this year. We ordered in Macaroni Grill and had a little picnic in the living room with Ken. I do miss our usual stay in a suite at Stein Erickson, soaking in our balcony hot tub looking out over Deer Valley, but watching "So You Think You Can Dance" while pumping breast milk and having Mike on the opposite couch reading a Dungeons and Dragons book is nearly as romantic, right?
You'll notice that since our wedding pictures Mike is a little balder and I'm a lot bigger- good times!

Wow time flies! Congratulations. I think your little anniversary party sounds great! I did not know you went to Australia that rocks. It is on our list of places to see.
I noticed Mr. Mikey V was sporting a shorter hair look these days! Ha Ha what little girls and school do to daddies.

Happy Anniversary! Your description of your big night was awesome. We just have to keep thinking that when the kids are older then we can do the same fun stuff we once did. That is cute that you had a picnic with Kennedy. I loved pumping...it is soooo super romantic. Ha ha
