Yesterday, June 28 was Dane and my 6 month anniversary. (I know, some of you teased us for celebrating this as an "anniversary", but for the first year, this is BIG!)
When I got home from an enrichment activity that we had in the morning, this is what I found waiting for me on the kitchen table: (I knew it was going to be a wonderful day!)Beautiful huh? My man knows how to treat me!
We took the rest of the afternoon off to ourselves and went for a few little adventures. One of which was a beautiful drive up Provo Canyon to Sundance. It was a little cooler up there, and very beautiful. I always forget how breathtaking the mountains in Provo are! After that, we went to the mall, returned some things and did a little shopping. It was very fun. Dane took me to dinner at one of our favorite places, Bombay House, and we ate ourselves full of amazing Indian food. Mmmmmm....I think they must put some sort of addictive something in their food. It is super good. While we ate, we brainstormed some of the highlights we could think of from the last 6 months. It was so fun. Some of the ones we came up with were:
Trip to California
Cruise to Mexico
Dane's birthday
cooking dinner together
being able to eat breakfast and dinner together almost everyday
the two months where we watched all 4 seasons of "Lost"
Cuddling
Snuggling
Our families
Ella
getting my new bike
bike rides with our biker gang
SmartCookie
Eating out...a little too much
Stan's
Our house (we love it!!)
Our ward, tons of WAY good friends!
Game nights with friends
Otter pops
Seven Peaks

....and many many more!
We came home for the evening to watch a movie and make cookies. The cookies are definitely where our next adventure came in. Note: This is NOT what our cookies looked like, but what they were supposed to look like :)For some reason, the first batch of cookies we made seemed to have trouble cooking. Dane pulled them out of the oven, and as the recipe said that they would still be soft and to let them cool on the sheet, he did, but even after cooling, he scraped one off and onto the cooling rack, and then watched it melt through the rack and drip all over. It was definitely still dough. So we tried to bake them again for several minutes, and they did "bake" but were still super soft after letting them cool for several minutes. Anyway, to say the least, the next batch worked out a lot better, maybe because we made the cookies a lot smaller.
So, I didn't want to spend too much of this post on our cookie fiasco, but did want to take a chance to say how wonderful these last six months have been. The best of my life! I am so grateful to be married to a man who is fun, caring, hardworking, valiant and who never fails to share his love for me! I love you Dane, and I am excited to see what the next 6 months will bring!
