Thanksgiving in May?

Yesterday was our three-year wedding anniversary, and those of you who know me, know that our anniversaries thus far have been FAR from ideal. The first one we were so broke we went to wal-mart and set a $5 limit for our gifts. I got Jacob a ninja turtle (which might have been the best gift ever, he sits on Jacob's desk like a mascot). Our second anniversary was the day we moved from Montana to Utah. AKA, Jacob in the truck for 8 hours, me in the car following behind him, and crashing at my brother and sister-in-laws that night. Fun.

But this year we FINALLY had a chance to do something fun. Jacob had arranged to work an extra day last week so he could take Tuesday off without using a sick day (we need all of those when the baby comes). So we decided no gifts, we just wanted to find something fun to do. Jacob's suggestion? Dinner and a movie. Bless him, he tries. Not to be outdone, I jumped online and found the website for Thanksgiving Point. DING!

We drove down to Lehi to visit the gardens at Thanksgiving Point and it was BEAUTIFUL! The tulips were blooming (which was appropriate for the anniversary since those were our wedding flowers), the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing; it was the perfect day. We walked around the gardens, went to the top of the waterfalls, ate lunch at their little outdoor cafe, and just sat on a bench under a big shady tree for half an hour while Jacob made me laugh at nothing, which he usually does. It was an excellent day.

Here are some examples of how pretty this place is. We didn't even make it through the whole thing, my back hurt too bad to keep walking for too long. But we definitely have plans to go back.
I highly recommend it to anyone who's in the area but has never been.

This is my new desktop background. It makes me so happy!

My shirt matched the flowers, so we took a belly shot.

Jacob. Need I say more?

This picture is terrible but it makes me laugh so hard. We were facing the sun, and Jacob couldn't take it. (Not posed, btw.)
