Today was a pajama day for Mary’s class. Lily begged Mary to also take her pigs, but Mary was too shy and embarrassed to take them. She was so shy and embarrassed, in fact, that when she arrived at school and noticed that only 5 kids were in pajamas, and that the rest of the class was not, she immediately changed out of her pajamas. Isn’t she adorable!!!
The highlight of my day was going on a date to Park City with Lily. She will be out of town for our 12th anniversary and this was our time to celebrate. Lily has been feeling a little blue lately, but she really lit up as we explored Park City together. It was a truly memorable evening for both of us.
First we went to the Riverhorse on Main restaurant. We loved our waiter, and we talked all about life, and even walked down memory lane thinking about times in Hyde Park we had together.
They gave us chocolate covered strawberries since it was our anniversary celebration!
After dinner, we walked around Main Street. Lily was thrilled to see Meredith Marks’ (from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City) clothing store. We later found out from the worker at Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory across the street that she left her store right before we went to it.
We walked up main street talking all about life, art, how much we love Park City, how it reminds us of Silver City Idaho, as well as some Colorado towns. We were totally charmed and we want to spend more time in Park City. Then Lily felt like she found her soul-mate restaurant when we went into the Grappa so she could use the restaurant. The ambiance and vibe was so lively, warm, and colorful. We can’t wait to try it soon!
We had such a good time together and listened to Vienna Tang and Rhiannon Giddens on the way home. We admired the beautiful landscape and felt very fulfilled by our time together in such a wonderful part of Utah.
Lily, I love you even more today than I ever have. You are my companion, my friend, my romance, and my song. Thank you for twelve perfect years!
