August is one of my favorite months! It didn’t used to be, but that changed in 2015 when we got married, moved into our townhouse, got our bird back, and picked up our dog within a matter of weeks. Now, this month is when we celebrate some of the biggest blessings in our life.
Our celebrations looked a lot different this year though. With my back problems and the COVID-19 restrictions, we decided not to head up to Salt Lake City or stay the night at the Grand America Hotel like we normally do. And because I got another steroid shot right before our actual anniversary, we stuck around the house last weekend to take a much-needed break. We used most of the time to watch movies and enjoy some delicious takeout. It was refreshing, but we still wanted to do something a little more fun to celebrate. So, we ended up spending a few hours at Utah Lake tonight. Anyone from Utah knows it’s not the prettiest lake ever, but it has its moments.
Five years isn’t that long, but we’ve grown so much since then. It’s fun to look back and think about the leaps of faith we took. We built a solid foundation when we got married and it’s helped us through all of life’s ups and downs. I’m so thankful for everything we’ve done together and can’t wait for the many more years to come!
