Let's Go See What's Next!

That was Ellie's favorite line this weekend when we went to the Boise zoo. I cannot begin to tell you how much she loved it. Although I was a little worried when the she wanted to go back and see the hissing cockroaches at least 4 times. All I have to say is, "Eeeeew." We had a so much fun despite having to see the cockroaches. Rob's friend from law school met us at the zoo with is awesome wife and two sweet little girls so Ellie got to make new friends AND see animals. She was in heaven.

A thousand hissing cockroaches. Just looking at them gives me the creepy crawlies. I'm so glad we don't have cockroaches here in Idaho.

We stayed at the Hampton Inn (if I have a choice I will never stay at any other hotel as long as I live - Hampton Inns are the best!) and we went swimming and Ellie got to sleep in a magic bed a.k.a hide-a-bed.



A big thanks to my brother Shane and his family for letting Ellie come over and play with her cousins while Rob and I went out to dinner.

It wasn't just any dinner. It was our anniversary dinner. Seven years on May 31st!! Can you believe it? It has really flown by! It's crazy to think that we've been together (off and on) for 13 years. And it's even crazier that I knew the day I met him so many years ago that we would end up together. It was just something I always knew. I think that's why we survived all the high school/college/post-mission drama. Well, that and the fact that Rob is so amazingly understanding and sweet. I love that we have a history. I love that we have mission letters from each other. I love that he knows me better than I know me. It's been a wonderful seven years and I can't wait to see what's next!
