24th Wedding anniversary

Steve and I take turns planning our anniversary, and this year it was my turn. I think I did a pretty good job of planning!

 

We had a room at the Grand America Hotel, which is absolutely gorgeous inside! We had dinner there at the restaurant in the hotel. I love having my anniversary at this time of year because everything is so festive! Lights, Christmas trees, music, and everyone is just happy.

 

 We went over to the new City Creek mall, and did some shopping. We went into a store called the Art of Shaving, and bought Steve some really nice shaving lotions, brushes, razor, and shaving cream. He's going to smell amazing in the mornings. Then we scheduled with them to give him a shave with a straight edge razor, with the hot towel, and the works!! We scheduled that for the next day.

After shopping, we made our way to Abravanel Hall for the Kurt Bestor concert. Again, perfect season to have an anniversary.

We went back to our hotel after the concert. I wish I had a picture of the view from our room. The entire city is lit up for Christmas, and snow on the ground. How can you sleep with such pretty views right outside the window??

 

The next day we went to "The Hobbit" at the IMAX theater. Definitely a great way to see it, it's on a HUGE screen, and such a great story.

 

 

 After the movie we made our way to the shaving shop for Steve's appointment. They basically take an hour to pamper your face. I don't know if he'll ever do it again, but every man needs to have a straight edge shave once in their life.

 While Steve was busy getting his shave, I was at the jewelers picking out a new ring. I haven't had a wedding ring for years. I just wanted a simple band because it's hard having big bulky rings when you're a nurse. I picked out the perfect ring for me, and sent it away to be sized.

Our last evening was spent at a work party for my company at the Tuscany restaurant. It was really a great meal, and it was fun to introduce Steve to the people I work with. All in all, we had a pretty good anniversary. Next year is 25... I'm glad Steve's planning it, he'll probably take me to Hawaii or something!

Here's my new ring. Like I said, simple, but perfect for me. Here's to another 24 years!!
