8 is great!

*pictures to come*

Today we have been married for 8 wonderful years! We have been so blessed in these years and really couldn't ask for more. We have a healthy and happy family with two sweet boys. I am grateful for a loving and caring husband like Jared. I count my blessings each day that I get to spend an eternity with him.

Well, Jared did it again and surprised me with a weekend getaway to Las Vegas to see Celine Dion in concert. Friday morning he was still in bed at 6:30am which was a pleasant surprise but he is normally out the door by 6am so I wondered if he was surprising me with a day off. I asked if he was going to work and he said he was but then dressed in shorts so I knew something was up. I got ready and found my mom was at our house to watch the boys so I knew Jared had something up his sleeve. I have to admit Jared got me this time. I thought for sure we were going to San Diego because I knew we didn't have much time and we have talked about going there for a trip. While on the road it took me quite some time to figure out we were on the 15 north headed to Vegas! Jared had been planning and arranging this for a few months. It's quite hard to get an extra day off in Residency but luckily Jared is on a lighter rotation and he knows how to make it happen. 

Once we made it to Vegas we went swimming in the pool, walked around the strip a little bit and had chinese dinner. Saturday morning we went to the Las Vegas Temple which was neat to add to the list of temples we have been to. It's very hot and dry in Vegas. After the temple we got Jamba Juice and pizza. Our favorites! That evening was the Celine Dion concert and it was amazing! I mean amazing!! I loved it and actually cried the first five songs which I never would have thought but her music has been a part of my life for at least 20 years and to see her in person was amazing. She came out strong with my five favorite songs and blew us away. Jared was pleasantly surprised too at the power of the show, the lighting and show quality. We had a great time and I will happily say, that yes Jared you got me. :)
