Seven is Heaven

Add caption

We got away for nearly a whole day to celebrate our 7th anniversary together. We went to the Oakland temple to remember our vows and then went to Shoreline to go sailing - except the wind was weak so we went canoeing instead. It was so lovely to just have the time to play and not worry about anything but each other. It's amazing to think that as much as we have been through together, and as well as we feel we know each other now, it is still just the 'tip of the iceberg' as far as our future growth and learning goes.

We had fun reinacting the proposal scene on the temple grounds. Nate is more handsome than ever.

The movie theatre in Mountain View where we had our first date - Napoleon Dynamite. It was "beyond our wildest dreams".
