Spaaaaaaah Day

I have always "dreamed" about having a spa day. Ya know...where you go and get to hang out at the spa in a white fluffy robe, and the only movement you do is to go to your next spa treatment. Well folks, that dream has come true! As part of our 15 year anniversary celebration, Trent purchased a day at the spa for me. And let me say....it...was...heaven.

I was there for five hours people...man...I sure love my hubbie. I did indeed get a fluffy white robe, and I "endured" a facial, a hot stone massage, lunch (that was to die for) in a gucci leather recliner, and then to finish it off, I had a pedicure complete with my feet being dipped in hot wax. Yeah...can we say absolute heaven? I was so relaxed, that on the drive home I didn't even realize that I was driving 20 mph in a 40mph zone. I happened to look in my rear view mirror and saw the long line of cars behind me. Oops...I sped up, at least what I felt like was speeding up, to a whopping 30 mph. Good thing I lived close to home...I bet some people were feeling some serious road rage. I, on the other hand, felt nothing but goodness in my heart for all mankind. Life was good my friends. That was the best gift I have ever received.

Anniversary The big 1-5

Wow...we have actually been married 15 years today. I don't know why that sounds so.....grown up to have been married that long, but it does. I am officially an old married gal today. Fifteen years?! Wow...that's pretty cool, AND I not only love the guy, but I still really like him too. :) Trent sent me some gorgeous flowers today...daisies...my favorite. Trent teaches at the college on Wednesday nights, so I called my friend Robin and we went out to eat to celebrate my anniversary. Any excuse to go out to eat is gladly welcomed. That call was funny to make,
"Hey Robin...it's my 15 year anniversary tonight...you want to go out to dinner tonight?"
"ummm...don't you want to go out with Trent?" she says
"yeah...but he can't go out tonight...you wanna go celebrate?"
And off we went after the kids were in bed (she has older kids that can come sit at my house and watch tv...the best part is, is that it is FREE!!)

What can I say that has not already been said in my last years Anniversary Post? I am truly blessed to have married such an awesome guy. Here's to another 15 more!

Anniversary

May 20, 1994

May 20, 2008

Wow...14 years and I can still hoist myself up on Trents lap...barely! I remember the days when I was younger and thinner, I would ride on Trents lap quite often when we were at BYU. That is..until we burned out two motors, (still under warranty. Phew!) I am sure the motor manufacturers are still perplexed on how two motors burned out in such a short amount

of time. Huh...who knows? heh heh No more rides after that.

I am in shock that we have been married for 14 years! I still feel like I am 20 years old most of the time. I am a wife, and a mother of two boys. How did that happen? (well we know how that happened, it is still hard to believe sometimes). As I look back over these past 14 years, I am amazed at all the things we have gone through. I have learned so much being married to Trent. It is hard to describe the many things that he has taught me by just how he lives his life every day. I have never met another person, that I respect and admire more than him. And how cool is that, that I am married to the person that I admire so much? I consider myself blessed. Not only am I in love with Trent, I am in "like" with him too. I really enjoy hanging out with him. There are few people that I would rather spend my time with. Being married to Trent has made me a better person. I am one lucky gal that he chose to marry me and put up with me and love me for who I am. It's wonderful to know that he loves me no matter what, through thick and thin. (literally!).

On our wedding day, I composed a song (with some help from two dear friends) for Trent that I surprised him with and sang to him at our reception. I decided today, that since I don't have this song written down anywhere, that I would wrack my brain and remember it and record it before I can't remember it anymore. So here it is. More for my sake than any of yours. Happy Anniversary Trent. Here's to 14 more!

Lyrics

There was a time when, I didn't know, what I wanted life to be.

With you beside me, here hand in hand, I can see eternity.

(Chorus)

Together we will start our journey, that will lead us home.

Through Father's help and love unfeigned, we'll never be alone.

The world around me brings no peace, but it is within you.

His peace will tell us what we should do.

Here we are. Together. Our hearts are now as one.

The time is now, to start anew.

Our life has just begun.

When I look into your eyes, I can see who you are.

A noble nature from our Father is there within your heart.

(Chorus)
