6 Years!

Mike and I celebrated our 6th Anniversary on Friday, August 8th. Mike took a half-day off of work and we went to Oklahoma City to spend the night. We had originally planned to go to the OKC Temple, but it is closed for cleaning right now. So we went to dinner and a movie, and best of all we got to SLEEP IN! It was great. Mike thinks 6 years sounds like a long time, but I think for what we have accomplished during that period of time 6 years sounds incredibly short. 3 kids, each of us working full-time for 3 years, a bachelor's degree, and 5 moves - we have been busy! I should also point out that this is our 1st anniversary that I haven't been either pregnant or had a nursing baby.

My parents came and had a "slumber party" (Benson's words) with the kids. Benson was so excited all week for the slumber party and my mom said that he kept telling her on Friday that he was going to be really mad at me if we came back before Grandma and Grandpa got to spend the night. As it was, he was FURIOUS when we got home on Saturday. He cried and kept telling us that we needed to go back. I guess we can be glad that he didn't miss us. My mom actually had seminary meetings for most of the day Saturday, so my dad took care of the kids and we are very grateful for their help! Mike and I decided that we are going to need a get-away trip at the end of each semester to keep us going through the next few years of Mike's MBA program. Hopefully Grandma and Grandpa will be up for some more baby-sitting in December!
