So, Brandon told me that he had something planned for my birthday, but wouldn't give me any hints or anything. So, come 6:30 last night, I was really anxious to know what it was. Turns out, he re-enacted our first birthday date.
Nine years ago, he came to my apartment, handed me a rose, and then blindfolded me. He took me out to his boss's big farm truck, and then started driving. It was REALLY bumpy, and poor, blindfolded me could only hold on for dear life! We finally got to our destination, and he hopped into the back of the truck and was bumping around setting something up. He helped me get out of the truck, and took the blindfold off. We were up in the hills above Cache Valley (right above Hyde Park). We could see the whole valley - it was gorgeous! He had dinner set up on a little card table, complete with candles (not lit), and a CD player with soft music playing in the background. We ate dinner in the back of this farm truck with not another soul around! It was heaven!
Then, we danced. And for those of you that know my husband, you know he doesn't like to dance - but, we danced! Then, we cleaned up the table, and laid a blanket down in the back of the truck and watched the sun set. The only problem was, with the hard metal against the back of my head, I ended up with a migraine! So, he quickly took me home, took my shoes off, and tucked me into bed with some Ibuprofen.
This year, we took his truck instead, and there was no rose, but we drove up in the foothills above Hyde Park, listened to Keith Urban (my favorite!!), and had dinner from the same place as before. And, again, we danced!! We watched the sun set while we danced to Keith Urban, and just enjoyed the moment! Again, it was heaven!! And, this time - there was no migraine!
After that, we took the truck 4-wheeling! He wanted to see what his truck could do, so we went on some of the back roads up there. It was so much fun! We're going to take the boys with us soon! Maybe even tomorrow!
Thank you, Brandon, for a wonderful birthday! I love you!

Happy B-lated! That is so much fun. One of these days we'll come to Logan and see you, and I guess my Brother too, since he is up there ;)
That is a pretty awesome first date! I think ours was a sappy movie and a McDonald's ice cream cone. What a romantic honey you have. =)
Happy Birthday, by the way!
