Our 5th Anniversary!

Five years ago I became the happiest woman alive!  Thanks to Jared's choir students, we had an awesome anniversary getaway at the Gaylord Resort!  Day 1: Lunch, pedicures, worked out at their fitness center, went swimming, ate at the Cheesecake factory, and saw the movie Eclipse together!  Thanks Jare-Bear.  He actually enjoyed the movie!  Day 2: I woke up to roses and we ate Jared's favorite "cinnamon toast crunch." We sported our bride and groom shirts that my Mom bought us for our honeymoon.  We got a lot of looks and smiles!  I'm pretty sure everyone thought we were honeymooners!  5 years and still feels like it!!  I have quite the sweetie pie, sugar plum, honey bum, snuggle-bunny!!
We got 1 1/2 hour massages and LOVED it!  This was Jared's first massage!
Then we went jogging together outside b/c it was pretty cool and windy, which is rare in Texas during the middle of the day in the summer.  Then we hit up the pool, got some pina coladas (soooo yummy), and didn't stay long b/c it was a gloomy day and not very sunny. :(
For dinner on our anniversary, we ate at the Texas Station at the Gaylord.  We split an awesome steak dinner!  Because it was our anniversary, they gave us free tickets to their Glass Cactus night club, so we went... yes, it was our first "clubbin" experience.  Don't get me wrong, we have danced the night away one too many times in college, but have never been to a real "club" where they serve alcohol.  It was country night, so we listened to the band and threw back a few cold ones!!  No pina coladas, so we ordered strawberry Daquiri's without the Daquiri... it was like a strawberry smoothie.  I was a little disappointed that there was a dance floor, but nobody was dancing... everyone just stood there watching the band like it was a concert.  That was the main reason we went... b/c we wanted to dance.  We weren't brave enough to get the party started.  We still had fun though!
Here are a few scenic pictures...
The balcony to our room!  Beautiful view.
The gorgeous Gaylord Resort!

Day 3:  The gloomy and rainy weather continued, so we ditched the Hurricane Harbor idea and went to brunch, went to a mall, went to Kohl's and got Jared a sweet shirt and pair of shorts, went to get the van out of the shop, and finally to pick up the girls whom we missed so much!!!  Thanks to the Fish family for watching them for us!  You guys rock!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABES!
