I Cross My Heart

Ever heard of George Strait? The country singer?? I love some of his songs and "I cross my heart" is at the top. If you haven't heard it before I highly recommend listening to it. If you have heard it before, I say listen to it again. :) But beware, it may make you cry, so get the tissues ready.

Why am I mentioning this again? Oh ya . . . my 2nd year anniversary. :) So after researching and looking on the internet for hours and hours over the course of a few weeks, (not every day) because this year I was in charge of it, this is what we did.

Dropped off Alyx at my mom's.

Walked around Memory Grove Park hand in hand for a bit.

Went to Color Me Mine and painted a plate and a heart shaped plaque. (I'll show pictures of them once we get them back from being glazed) Jason even admitted it was more fun than he thought it would be. lol. :) Like I would plan something dumb and boring.

Then we checked in a hotel and changed into dressy clothes AND . . . . . ate dinner at THE ROOF!!! :)
Oh my gosh, I knew the food was going to be great, but seriously!!! It was heaven. They also had over 20 desserts and I had creme brulee for the first time and I loved it. Besides the food and the good looking company, I made sure that when I reserved a while back I asked for a ROMANTIC view, and we got it. :) Perfect view of the Salt Lake City temple and at a time where we would see the sunset and watched the temple light up. The pianist playing that night was amazing too, like soo talented at the piano. There were a few twenties even in the jar for tips. Later we gave her a $5. But anyway, I requested a song partway through dinner, I Cross My Heart. :) When I went back to Jason and eating, I heard that the song she was currently playing end and she started playing my song. :) I got the urge to dance and asked Jason if we could. After a little bit of pleading, I convinced him that we should. I mean, the tables around us were empty, so it's not like we would be bothering anyone. So there I was in Jason's arms, dancing, at The Roof, a view of the temple and the lovely song playing.

I was beyond cloud 9. So what could have been better than that? Later when Jason was finishing his food, I requested one more song, and it wasn't even on the list that the lady had of songs she could play.

I asked if she knew the song "So Close". She said, "Is it the one from Enchanted?" I said yes and explained how it was the song Jason and I first danced to as husband and wife and that today was our 2nd anniversary. She said that she would try to play it. I thanked her and went back to Jason. A little bit later, I heard the beautiful song I requested start to play.

We just had to dance one more time. So we did. We even danced longer than the first time. A cute old lady even gave us thumbs up. lol. :) It was wonderfully and totally romantic. I mean, how many people can say they danced at the roof once, or even twice, with their special someone and with 'their song' playing?

Sorry, anyway, just had to share that. The next day we also did sealings in the Bountiful temple and remembered the way it had been on the day we got married. :)

I'm so happy that Jason stuck with me and asked me to marry him. I couldn't have asked for a better man. He is so patient with me and is man enough to say sorry when things go wrong. He also forgives me when I make mistakes. He lets me cry and loves to dance with me. He makes me laugh and works so hard in school to make sure that in the future he will get a job that can support our family. I love to watch him play with Alyx and read books to him. He's a fantastic father, husband and my very best friend. I love him so much and am looking forward to seeing how our love will grow even stronger in the years to come.
