This post may make some of you question my priorities. Ok, I confess---they may be a little mixed up sometimes. So, here's the deal. Yesterday (July 2nd) was our 4th Anniversary. YEAH! Jeff said it was my turn to plan what we were doing, so I did. We ate at Maddox and then stayed the night at a little Bed & Breakfast called the Providence Inn on Tuesday night (July 1st). It's in Providence---just outside Logan. It was a cute little B&B. I would definitely stay there again. Here are some pictures of our room.
My wonderful Mom & Dad watched the boys in Brigham while we stayed the night there. I'm nursing Owen, so I had to pump a few times--which isn't fun. That's why we only stayed one night. I wanted to go somewhere near Logan because we were married in the Logan Temple. We went to do an endowment session Wednesday morning. We were actually in doing the session at the same time that we were married---and we were the witness couple during the session. It was really neat.
We headed back to Brigham so I could feed Owen before we saw a movie. We went to see the new movie Hancock. We thought it was good, but I could've waited for it to come out on video.
So, you're probably wondering why my priorities are a little mixed up. Well, last night--the night of our actual anniversary---I went to a Twilight party. Jeff was so wonderful to let me go. He stayed home with the kids and I got to go hang out with a bunch of grown women that are crazy about the Twilight books. It was so fun! We played a trivia game, talked about our predictions for the next book, ate lots of food, and just had a blast! Jeff was so great about it, but he said it was because if he forgets our anniversary someday, he'll just play his "Twilight card." I told him I was fine with that. Here are some pictures of the party.
{Just hanging out at the party}
{Yummy food - I brought Black-Eyed Pea Salsa and some chips. Cuz you know a Vampire's eyes turn Black when they are hungry! My sister, Dana, came up with that idea for me. I can't take the creative credit.}
{Me and Melanie - We have glitter spray on our face, but you can't really see it. Why are we wearing glitter you ask---real vampires sparkle!}
{We played Twilight Trivia - This is Judy. She is the one who planned this awesome party.}
{This is my Twilight Trivia Team. We totally rocked it! Our team got 8000 points. The other teams got 4400 and 2600 points. We smoked 'em. We even got some cool Twilight key chains for winning.}
{Judy and I wearing our "Team Edward" shirts. My iron-on didn't quite work out they way it should have. It's supposed to be red writing, like Judy's. I don't know if I ironed it too long, or not long enough. It was falling off, so I just peeled it off when I got home. Bummer.}
{We wanted to get a group shot, but half the people had already gone home. So here are some of us.}
We are all so excited for the next book to come out---in less than a month.
I just want to thank my wonderful husband. I'm so happy that I married you 4 years ago. You are so kind, loving, understanding, giving, hard-working---I could go on and on. Love you!

No, I understand your priorities!! Looks like a fun party!
We were married in the Logan Temple, too. AND, July 2nd is my Birthday. Some things in common...
Happy Anniversary!
Super fun stuff. I can't wait to throw my own party. So, on our anniversary this year, Pete will be doing a bike ride in Park City and I will be ready Breaking Dawn since that is the day it comes out. We are both sacrificing our anniversary for our "other" priorities. :0)
I would love to be able to have time to read those books and be crazy in love with them too. Fact is, I am lucky to get a shower. I just can't keep up on laundry and I'm ready to go buy more garments cuz I run out all the time. That looks like it was tons of fun! (sigh) Someday!
Happy Anniversary!
Hahaha, this makes me laugh so hard! Ben knows he can't compete with Edward either. I love that you have so many friends that are into it. It's pretty big out here too, but I don't know anyone who is interested in having a twilight party, other than me and my friend laurin. maybe we should just do one together, but I don't know what we would do.
You don't even know how badly I wish I could have gone to that party! Our ward does parties like no other! Kristy would have been the life of that party, you know that!! Sounds like a great anniversary, Carrie.
The twilight party looked like a blast. We had one a couple months ago and now my friends are having another one in anticipation for the 4th book. Although it'll be on the 17th when I will be visiting you!!
Happy Anniversary!! Only 4 years...it seems longer than that :)
Wow, you guys are die hard! You go!
Wow!! I am impressed with all of the fun you had in just 3 days. What a blast. I would never have thought of a Twilight party. As for the wedding anniversary, I would think going to Maddox would make up for the Twilight party on your actual anniversary. I love that place!
Your anniversary looked like it was MUCH more fun than ours. Only 3 weeks away from delivering, the whole rotated pelvis thing-I was not the easiest person to be around-all I wanted to do was lay in bed! The Twilight party looks SO awesome! I think I could compete in the trivia game, having just read the books for the THIRD time :)
