Happy Anniversary To Us

Yesterday was our Anniversary. 8 Years we have been married now. And what a ride. We have graduated from school, had three babies, made a half a dozen moves, bought a house, were called to the bishopric, started a masters program, and countless other fun adventures. I can't believe it sometimes that Dave actually married me. When I first met him he was dating my roommate at Snow College and he didn't like me. He then graduated from Snow and moved on while I still had a year left. Near the end of the year, I was debating on which school to move on to and I couldn't let go that I was supposed to go to SUU. When I went to register I told my mom, while we were standing in the student center, that my husband was at this school and I knew it. I was then invited to work for the school newspaper and I needed to be there a week early. I opted to be a photographer and was waiting in the hall for my subject to come out when a very familiar face came toward me. He knew he recognized me when I stood up and said hello, but he couldn't remember my name until I introduced myself to his friend. It wasn't long after that that we were tricked into dating by a mutual friend. Actually not much tricking on my part, I knew I wanted to date him right away. So we dated, had a lot of fun, and got married a year later. So now it has been eight happy years and we are ready for more.
So yesterday for our day, we went to the Sweet Candy Factory. I was a little disappointed only because no one was making any candy. I wanted to see it in motion, but our tour guide said we probably caught the tour at the end of a shift, stinks but it would have been great if the machines were working. If you ever decide to go, go in the morning, she said the machines are always running in the morning.
We then came home, played with Dave's new cell phone, and went to The Proposal. Hilarious date night movie. Dave really enjoyed it too. Then we went to Sostanza, We were not expecting what we got. Very nice, fine dining finally in Tooele. Somewhere you can go on a date night with your husband, without the blare of families every where, and actually get something besides chicken or a burger. Super yummy, stake is what I got, Dave wasn't too hungry so he got the Tempura appetizer. Not cheap though if you are looking for an inexpensive place, my stake was $24 and Dave's appetizer was $12. So worth it though and I am glad we went. I really hope it stays for a long time, Tooele needs this.
