Luke and I have now been married for 6 years! It's funny how I still remember our wedding day perfectly but it feels like its been longer than 6 years at the same time. Our anniversary was back on Sunday, August 26, and leading up to that day Luke was working in Philadelphia for the week. So one of my gifts to him (and myself) was getting the house in better shape while he was gone. I did tons of little projects- like painting frames and stuff, bought some new small decorative things for the house and spent the whole week making the house look more organized and pretty.
The biggest makeover was our bedroom, and it was nice to be able to have a whole week to work on it before Luke saw it. I still want to paint our dresser and nightstands, but at least after almost 3 years in our house, our room actually has things on the wall! I think Luke was actually pleased with all the work I did, yay!
So after Luke got home from his trip and had time to watch his Redskins game, we got a babysitter to spend the night and we headed to downtown Denver. Our friend hooked us up at the Sheraton so we dropped our things off their first and then walked down to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner, luckily it was early enough there was no wait. And I got some awesome Key Lime Cheesecake to go.
Then we went to the movies to see Bourne Legacy. Luke and I have always liked those movies, so we really enjoyed this movie as well. Before getting to the movie though, we tried dropping off our food at the hotel room but we were having a problem with our room keys. We were going to be late for our movie so I asked the front desk to switch our room, move our bag that was locked in our old room and move it to the new room, get us a fridge, and take our Cheesecake Factory bags and put them in our new room for us. Yea, lot of demands. But they did it, and upgraded us to a corner executive suite!
It had a front room with a couch, desk, and TV. Below you can see the bedroom through the next door.
Nice big room with corner windows, right off the 16th Street Mall, so we had a nice enough view too. Probably didn't need all the extra space, but it was cool to be able to have a suite for once.
The next morning we went for breakfast across the street. You could see our hotel room from there- we were one of those corner rooms on the tall building in the background.
It was a beautiful morning so we took our time walking around the mall, did a little shopping, and then finally checked out at noon and went home. The boys were at church with their babysitter though, so we rented the first Bourne movie and watched it over again until they got back. The boys did amazingly well with us out, so I was so proud of them for handling it well. It was a simple anniversary but it was so nice to have a night away from the boys and get to spend time alone with just Luke. Looking forward to another good year!
