The Best Five Years.....


Charlie and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary on Friday March 20! I can not believe we have been married that long but I can say it has been the best five years ever!!! We are looking forward to many more years and many more memories. Luckily Charlie and I had the same week off for spring break, so we were able to take a little trip to celebrate. We first went to the AZ/UT border and camped and hiked in the Paria wilderness. It was absolutely amazing! We want to backpack the entire Paria canyon some day, just not in March!! It was a little bit colder than we expected!! After camping for two nights, we packed up and made a stop at the Lower Antelope Canyon outside of Page, AZ. I had heard this slot canyon was awesome and it lived up to its reputation. This canyon was one of the most beautiful natural wonders we have ever seen and would recommend it to everyone. Yesterday, we were able to go out to dinner and just relax with each other, which was a wonderful way to finish celebrating this great marriage milestone!






















The pictures below are of Buckskin Gulch (part of the Paria canyon) and our cute campsite. We knew the canyon would have water but we did not know it would have freezing water and slippery mud! Even though we couldn't feel our feet, the canyon was amazing. The entire Paria wilderness was absolutely beautiful!!

that sounds like soo much fun! I remember when brad and I did a hike like that and we had unexpected amounts of freezing cold water to hike through! It was so much fun, but something that we will never forget! We are SOOO EXCITED That you guys are coming to live in SLC! It will be great to get together (hopefully more often)!

Those canyons are amazing... I would totally love to go there too... did you have to make reservations or could you just go check them out? How fun! By the way you looked so super cute with your black and white dress with the splash of green!

okay ... just checked my blog and I laughed when you said you talk like a 7 year old... because my husband tells me I have a lisp and I did't believe him until I saw a video of myself and I was like... "Do I seriously talk like that?" All he says is it is so cute... here is my email www.marry.jordan@yahoo.com
