June 1, 2002 is our wedding anniversary, which means that we just celebrated our 5th anniversary. We had already planned to be in Utah visiting my mom and sister for my little sister's high school graduation so I had to plan our anniversary events around that. I have always dreamed about going to the Salt Lake Temple. When I was little I wanted to get married there, but my mom convinced me that no one would want to go all the way to Utah for a wedding,... well, you get the idea. So I HAD to go to the temple. We arranged to go to a session there, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! From the moment I walked into the main hallway, I just began to cry. The detail and the majestic look was too much to handle, LOL...I cried through the entire 2 hour session. If you have never been, I highly recommend it.
After our temple session we went to dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial building, the top floor has a restaurant called The Roof. It is a gourmet buffet. We had a window table and our view was the sun setting behind the temple spires. Again, it was gorgeous and very romantic.
We had a wonderful time visiting with my family, but taking my dad's suggestion, we decided to stay downtown in SLC for the evening so we could be alone. I am so glad we did, because it was so relaxing to just be the two of us, without any plans, or chaos.
Our anniversary went perfectly, just the way I planned. I don't have many pictures, but I will post what I have.
