our [stay]cation

6 years. that number makes me feel so old! although marriage is a great thing, its not perfect. i am very happy in my marriage but i am also glad that we have challenges. i am glad that i still get excited when todd comes home every day, and i am glad that we still cant agree on where we will go to dinner. i am glad that he is a good dad, and i am glad that he thinks having a baby is the hardest thing on earth. i am glad i have a partner to play tennis with, compete with, hang out with, parent with, go on dates with, eat with, watch my tv shows with, fight with, and that loves me back. i love you hub.

to celebrate these insane 6 years we went to the W hotel in scottsdale for 24 hours. todds sister brooke watched the kids for us which in itself is a great anniversary gift! we went to the mall and had dinner and shopped a little, then came back and hung out at the pool for a while. then we slept in, again.....the best ever!..... and went back to the pool for a few more hours of relaxing. may i just say that this hotel is fabulous! I absolutely love the decor and vibe that it has. i was so mad i forgot my camera because i wanted to take pictures of every single decor detail. it was a great stay-cation and i think we need to do it every year.

the cool lounge that i was in love with
poolside at the end of the day....thats why i look so fabulous

That hotel looks awesome. Congrats on making it this long. Todd is great; I was excited to see a comment from him on my blog. I bet Berks was eating up having an ace bandage. Remember when we used to wrap our legs in toilet paper and say they were broken?
