Three Years

Wednesday was our third anniversary. Craziness. It feels like we have always been married, but I can't believe three years have gone by already. I feel like time is passing too quickly. I heard that feeling only gets worse after you have kids. I hope not.

Since Trevor was working and we had Young Mens/Young Womens activities to go to that night, we didn't make any big plans. I went to the Hunter seminary to have lunch with Trevor. I got to see how he decorated his room this year, meet some the new faculty, and be mistaken for one of his students (as usual). I thought the whole pregnant thing would help with the "you look like you should be his student, not his wife" comments, but apparently not. I guess it is West Valley.

After Trevor got home from work we went to the Garden Restaurant in the Joseph Smith Building. We thought we would be the only ones going to dinner at 4:30, but we were joined by the senior citizen crowd hitting up the early bird specials. After dinner we went over to the Wasatch Room, to reminiscence about the wedding dinner we had there three years ago. Mostly it just made us want the food and cake we were too tired to enjoy that night.

I woke up on Wednesday to the above note on our fridge from Trevor. It was the first card I had even received that was bigger than me. He must have gotten to know me pretty well over the last three years, because at the end he wrote, "P.S. Don't worry, I tested this first, and the marker comes off".

Here are Trevor's thoughts about his creation:

This is probably the greatest card ever created. I shall proceed to make my argument: Reason #1 - It is written with whiteboard markers and who doesn't love writing with those amazing writing utensils. Reason #2 - It is huge. If Wal-mart thinks they are hot for making 11x17 cards, they've got a bigger competitor -- Whirlpool. Reason #3 - It is the only card ever to contain a full-size red velvet cake inside, and not just some illustration of a cake with glittery candles, I'm talking a 100% Costo Brand Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting baby! Hallmark, eat your heart out!

This was three years ago...

Our cake was no Costco red velvet cake, but it was good none the less.

This is now. I have changed just a little bit.

"Wright, party of two, your adventure is about to begin"

Not long after we got married we went to The Mayan. Anyone who has been there knows the awesomeness that going to that restaurant actually entails. The title of this post is a direct quote from the hostess as she called us back to our table. Looking back, I guess we really did have some adventures in store for us. Over the past few years, particularly the last year and a half, we have steadily been checking off all the requirements to becoming a typical little happy family. Graduate from college - check. Start graduate school - yes for both of us. Full time job and steady income - done and done. Buy a house and move to the big city of SL - yep. Have a baby - well not yet, but almost...give us until around November 4th. Really there was only one thing missing in our lives, and that was, of course, a blog. So feeling the pressure of that void, we caved and are entering the blogging world. Okay, maybe it is more to keep friends and family updated, to remind ourselves that we actually still have some fun and craziness left in us, and mostly, to show off our inevitably adorable baby when he gets here. Although much has changed since we first got married, I have a feeling we are on the verge of even greater changes in the months and years to come. Who knew the words of a hostess from an over-the-top theme restaurant could be be so prophetic and so fitting.
