Our 5th Anniversary Getaway

Thad and I had our 5th anniversary on Friday and decided to make a weekend of it. We spent Saturday at his brother's house playing games and watching fireworks, spent the night there, and then headed to Logan the next day. We got a room at the Anniversary Inn. I love this place. The rooms are all decorated with a different theme, and they are all really fun. This trip we decided we would stay in the Biker Roadhouse room; and we have no regrets! We got there about an hour before we could check in (though we already had early check-in reserved) but our room was ready and waiting for us anyway! When we walked in, the first room you come too looks like you are outside of a little house with a really nice motorcycle parked out front.

After exploring all the buttons on the motorcycle and Thad telling me about what they all do and how I would attempt to drive the thing, we decided to play a little pinball!

I am not very good at pinball. I have horrible hand-eye coordination, so I tend to hit buttons frantically, instead of concentrating on which ones I should really be hitting. Oh well, we still had fun!

Pool was another story! I'm pretty much a pro! (well maybe not, but Thad has a tendency to scratch on the very last shot trying to get the 8 ball in, so I ended up winning by default a lot. We had a blast wagering bets for the winner of each game! I think we broke about even!

When Thad booked the room, he added some options that don't come standard with the room, such as these champagne flutes filled with Hershey's Kisses that say "Happy Anniversary" on them. They were so cute and came in very handy with the sparkling cider that was provided.

He also had some rose petals scattered around the amazing bathtub! Add those to the "swan" towels, it was a very cute surprise! We did bring our own bubble bath and I think Thad added a bit too much because we probably had bubbles coming up to the top of the tiles on the wall. OOPS!

In the morning we had breakfast delivered to our room and had breakfast in bed! It was so yummy and was a great ending to a great weekend!

And then there are the gifts! I got Thad this watch a couple weeks ago as his anniversary present. I wanted to make it a surprise and give it to him on our anniversary, but I couldn't wait. I told Thad that the room at Anniversary Inn was my gift and that I didn't need anything else, but as always, he surprised me with a few other things! When he came home from work on Friday he had a beautiful bouquet of roses and a box of KitKats (my fave!)

This weekend probably rated among the top 3 for me since we've been together! It was so nice to be able to spend a weekend together without having to worry about housework or errands or even work. Hopefully we don't have to wait until our 10th anniversary to go back because we had such an amazing time.

5 years

5 years ago I said "I Do" to my amazing husband! It seems crazy to think we've been together for so long. It's gone by way too fast and I wish time would slow down so we could enjoy this time in our relationship even more than we do, but I honestly would not change anything about the last 5 years! I am so in love with Thad and could not ask for a better husband! Here are just a few pictures from 5 years ago!

Just random happenings....

Hello blogging world! Since I haven't blogged lately I figured I would at least update everyone on what's been going on in the Snyder family!

1. I got a "promotion" at work! I still really have no idea what I will be doing or what my title is exactly, but I will be assisting the Vice President with more of the corporate operations at Hearts for Home Health. I've pretty much been doing the same thing for 4 1/2 years, so it will be a nice change! While I get a cool new desk and new office, it's a little lonely in my office with no one to talk to! 

2. I have SEVERE anemia. Not very fun I'll have you know! I started noticing about a week and a half ago that I was always VERY tired, had constant head aches, and felt dizzy on several occasions. I pretty much passed out in the shower one morning too, luckily Thad was awake and was able to save me! I called my doctor and they had me go in that afternoon and get my blood drawn because they figured it was anemia, and sure enough, it was. Hematocrit levels for women my age should be about 36-46 normally and I was only at a 26. The nurse at the doctors office said on the phone she was surprised I was at work and talking with levels that low. They also scheduled me for an ultrasound to make sure I didn't have an ulcer or anything that would be causing me to be so anemic. I'd never had one before and really didn't think my first experience would be like that, but everything looked perfectly normal. Ovaries are perfect, uterus is perfect... and no ulcer or cysts! So they started me on Iron pills in hopes that my levels would increase. 

3. Thad and I went fishing last weekend at Strawberry Reservoir with his brother's, one of our nephews, and Thad's dad. It was kind of a father's day trip since he'll be out of town this weekend for father's day. I have to say, I am an amazing fisherman (or fisherwoman??) I already had my limit of fish caught before any one else even caught one! It's pretty much like that every time we go fishing! I always catch the most and the biggest! I'm pretty much a pro. Thad still hasn't gotten me to touch a fish or even bait my hook though... maybe one day. 

4. I am so in love with my husband! I'm sure you already knew that, but I just had to say it again! I am SOO excited for our anniversary getaway next weekend! I can't believe we've already been married for 5 years! It's gone by way too fast! I wish time would slow down a little bit so I could enjoy this time more than I already am... if that's possible. Here is just a little preview of the fun we will have...

I think that's all for now. I'll definitely post more from our trip to Logan when we get back!
