Celebrating 4 Years

I cannot believe that Brynn and I have been married for 4 years. It's an interesting paradigm, because it seems like time has flown by so fast, yet I can't really remember life before having Brynn in my life. Brynn and I had planned to go on a vacation together at the end of March, but since that fell through, we had some money to blow on a fun anniversary weekend. Since I usually plan these types of things, Brynn decided to take the reigns this year. She did an awesome job, and we had an absolute blast together. I took Friday off of work, so Brynn came and picked me up on Thursday after work and we drove to an awesome bed and breakfast just across the Ohio River in Indiana. This was our first B & B experience and it didn't disappoint. They had hot cookies waiting for us, which was nice since we had just come in from a torrential rain storm. We quickly got ready and headed out the door for dinner. Brynn had done exhaustive research to find the best restaurant in Louisville. Every website, every blog, every article pointed straight to Corbett's. It's a restaurant that has been fashioned out of an old plantation style home. It is gorgeous inside and out and the food receives rave reviews. About an hour later, we realized that we had a case of the emperor's new clothes on our hands. When you pay that much for a meal, I think people feel foolish for saying anything other than that the food was amazing. We enjoyed the experience none the less and would have been disappointed had we not gone at least once while in Louisville. When the waiter asked if we wanted a desert menu, we looked out the window and saw a Graeter's Ice Cream across the street and said, "Check Please!" Check your local grocery stores for this stuff. Graeter's is the most incredible ice cream around, and they just barely started shipping it out all across the county. Before that, you could only get it in Ohio and Kentucky. It was still raining like crazy when we left, so after eating ice cream and getting soaked in the rain, we ran back to the B & B and hopped in the jacuzzi and watched a movie together. Needless to say, the night was improving. The next day was amazing. We just hung out together. We went to the Zappos.com warehouse which is a few miles outside of town where they have a clearance center. Unfortunately that was a bust, but we had fun anyways. On our way back home, we stopped off at Papalino's Pizza, a NY style pizzeria that we have been wanting to try since we got here. Luckily the real deal matched the awesome reviews on this one. With full stomachs and time to burn, we both agreed it was nap time. Those of you without kids may think that is a waste of time during a short weekend getaway. Just wait. When we woke up, we once again went shopping. After finding some good buys, we hit up BJs for dinner and a pizookie (a hot pizza like cookie with ice cream on top, mmmm!) Finally, our awesome weekend was rounded out the next morning when we ran a 5K together, finishing the race in just under 26 minutes. We finished the race, and pretty much just kept on running (one to beat the traffic, and two because we couldn't wait to go get Morgan). Ryan and Ashley Baker were awesome enough to watch Morgan. She was kind of in shock when she saw us, but it didn't take long for her to be her normal crazy self. We then had the Bakers over for a BBQ and we watched BYU destroy San Diego State. The perfect ending to a perfect weekend. Thanks again Brynn! I love you so much and look forward to many more anniversaries to come.

Breakfast. Sorry about the lighting.

I always write Brynn a poem for out anniversary and it is so fun to watch her get nervous in the days leading up to it, hoping that I won't forget. I have to say, this may have been my best yet.
