Twice

For the second time I was blessed enough to meet President Monson. Nick and I were at Nordstrom in mens shoes and I looked over to see President Monson getting his shoes shined. I couldn't resist, I had to go over to shake his hand. He told me the sweet story about how his father was the missionary who baptized his wife's family. He was so happy and has such a great outlook on life. The last time I meet him I actually tripped over him while I was in the mens shoes department in Nordstrom about 6 years ago. He obviously has great taste if he shops at Nordstrom's! He has such an amazing spirit and I know he is truly a prophet of God. I feel so lucky to have meet him again.

Garden

Okay, no one is going to be as excited as me about this post but we actually got some veggies out of our own garden today!!! Nick built three planter boxes for me and we planted our own little garden. We got started a little late but we had fresh raddishes, chives, rosemary and cilantro today and we have some eggplants and peppers coming soon. I can't wait to see what else is will be growing soon!

Honeymooniversary

I had a long weekend off so for our 4 year anniversary we decided to head to Vegas. I was a little skeptical at first because we had looked at going to Mexico but couldn't find any good deals but it ended up being perfect to celebrate cause we were able to do all of our favorite things. Nick found a great deal at the Venetian which was the best place we could have stayed. We never had to walk through the casino and the mall was across the street. Plus, we could use the Palazzo pool too! Our room was way too big but so relaxing. The weather ended up being perfect (not too hot) so we spent our days by the pool reading and relaxing and working on my mad swimming skills (for anyone that knows me well know I'm not great in the water but thanks to my sweet husband I'm getting much better and really starting to enjoy swimming). My favorite part was that they brought around cool washcloths, sliced cucumbers and sliced oranges all the time.

The first day we ate at the poolside Wolfgang Puck restaurant and our server hooked us up with coupons so we were able to eat at four Wolfgang Puck restaurants. He is now our new favorite chef. Nick says that the chicken (which he would not usually order but was recommended) is the most amazing chicken he has ever eaten. I had the most incredible free dessert. It was a raspberry chocolate chip souffle with creme fraiche and chocolate ganache. My mouth is watering just thinking about it, mmmm! We had authentic gelato and even chocolate macadamia nuts. We also went shopping, which I'm afraid we both like to do way too much. My favorite was the Beatles Love show. The music was amazing and I couldn't believe the things the cirque du solei people were able to do. They used tramps and roller skates, I keep thinking someone was going to fall.

We had a fabulous time celebrating our 4 years. I still can't believe how fast it's gone. I feel so lucky to have the husband that is just perfect for me! Love you babe!
