Erik and I had our anniversary and ate at the Texas Roadhouse. I'd never been there before. As soon as we walked in the hostess handed us a bag of peanuts to munch on while waiting. And everybody just threw their shells on the ground so the floor was covered in peanut shells! The servers did a lot of dancing and I wondered how they ever got anything done. It was really unique and a lot of fun.

We also recently took a Saturday to visit the St. Louis temple 4 hrs away. There are some advantages to being this far from a temple, like 12 hours alone with your husband without the kids. Not bad at all. :)

I am so blessed to be married to such a wonderful man. I fall deeper in love every day! I'm especially grateful we've been in the traveling group this last 3 1/2 years because it's made us so much closer as a couple and a family. Life is just good.
