Anniversary

Aaron and I have been married for six years (+2 months). I don't know what we were thinking getting married in June. I guess we didn't have the foresight to realize that Aaron would be in full time youth ministry and to know that I would be a wedding photographer. So sadly, we weren't able to celebrate our six years in June, but last night we finally got a night away and it came at a good time.

We stayed the night downtown on the river at the Hotel Contessa. This is one of our absolute favorite places to stay. It has a uniquely urban, uniquely Texas feel and it's awesome! To top that, all the rooms are suites and I love having seperate living and sleeping spaces. For dinner we decided against all the overrated Riverwalk cuisine and headed to Texas Land and Cattle for some juicy steak. Afterwards it was back to the hotel for a dip in their amazing rooftop pool with a skyline view. (I can't believe I didn't get pictures!) The rest of the night was fun and relaxing as we walked around downtown and enjoyed each other's company. (We did happen to find ourselves mere feet away from a KC and the Sunshine Band Concert, as well as the Dallas Cowboys bus, and another set of busses loading at the Westin which we later discovered was Green Day) It was a fun night.

This morning, being without the kids, we got to sleep late (like, until 7:30). We had a leisurely morning, watching ESPN (Aaron) and reading the paper (me) before packing up and checking out. I was thrilled when Aaron took me to eat breakfast at the Guenther House. I'd heard it was great, but had never eaten there. It was every bit as good as I had hoped. The rest of the morning was spent driving around our favorite parts of town (King William, Monte Vista, etc.) just like we used to when we had nothing else to do.

I feel so blessed to have such an amazing husband who loves me like crazy and takes care of me and who is so much more than I ever dreamed I could have in a husband. I love you, Aaron!
