Well, we made it. Our five year anniversary! And of course we had just gotten back from our crazy Utah trip, so I was planning to have our anniversary celebration a few days later after life had calmed down a little - but Eric wanted to have it on our special day- so we did! Bless the Hollands for taking Jack and Avey at the last minute, and the Hakes for Eric's birthday present of a gift card to the Olive Garden.
Still looking good after five years!
My food was seriously to die for- it was actually something they won't have on their menu for much longer, called four cheese pansotti chicken- pyramid shaped stuffed ravioli with chicken. I really hope Eric can recreate it for me sometime.

Cheesy five year ring picture over our food. (I thought Eric had deleted this picture because he thought it was too cheesy, I'm happy he didn't. I like cheesiness!)
Another better shot of our delicious food.
It actually was so great to have just us going out. Seeing everyone for the past two weeks means we haven't had very much alone time. I really enjoyed it. And I was reminded as I am often why I married this crazy, but fun and amazing guy.
And to celebrate that it's our fifth year anniversary-
I'm going to post my five favorite things I LOVE about Eric (in no particular order)
1. He is an awesome dad. Seriously between getting up with Jack when he cries in the night, and playing with him during the day, changing loads of diapers and cuddling Avey, I couldn't ask for a better guy to help raise my cute kiddos.
2. He is an amazing gourmet cook. He doesn't even use recipes, and his food turns our incredible ALL the time.
3. He helps me laugh and have fun.
4. He's one of my favorite people to talk to.
5. He loves people so much. Seriously. Charity is definitely one of his gifts.
I love you Eric! And from our stake conference today- one of my favorite people- Pres. Forsberg talked about marriage- and he told the story of the silverware, and reminded me- if you want something to last- you treat it differently, and it becomes special because you made it so.
I hope I can get better at this over the next five, ten, twenty and the rest of eternity living with you darling!

The guy who seated us was named Josh- now if our server's name was only Jessica...
