Seven years of marriage, eight years together, and two baby boys later, I think enough said hahaha no jk. This year we debated weather to go all out for our anniversary or keep it low key, well all out won! I asked my parents a couple weeks in advance if they could watch the kids while we went away for the weekend and of course they said yes!

To start out the weekend on Friday we decided to take a much needed trip to the Temple. The Gilbert, Temple happened to be closed for maintenance so we went to the Mesa, Temple (which was the one we were married in seven years ago)! Oh how amazing you feel after a good Temple session and the love that it rekindles in your marriage. I could not imagine not being with my sweetheart forever, and am so glad we were able to be sealed for time and all eternity.
It's so blasted hot here in AZ that we wanted to go where it was somewhat cooler, and lucky for us just an hour and a half away is Payson where it's about 30-40 degrees cooler (for that reason I love AZ). So we packed up Saturday morning, said goodbye to the kids and off we went. We got to Payson around lunch time so had a nice lunch, then checked into our hotel and relaxed a little before we headed up to the Mountain Spa for our couples massages. Before the massages we took a dip in the pool and jacuzzi which was lots of fun. The massages were absolutely amazing, and something I desperately needed, especially for my poor lower back. After massages we went back to our hotel to clean up and get ready for dinner. Now Payson doesn't have a lot of fine dining because it's such a small town so we went to the local Chili's and had a good old American dinner. We ate dinner, then back to our hotel for a relaxing night together just the two of us.
