Since it was our five year anniversary, and it happened to fall on Saturday. I decided I would give Mat an Anniversary Week. :) Each day, I left a cute little note and a present. Some he guessed right off the bat, but others he had no idea. I was excited for him to open his presents each morning, but I think that as the week went on he got more and more excited. I don't think I have seen him get out of bed so quickly (at least since Christmas)!
For this Anniversary, Mat was planing a surprise of some sort. I dropped hints of what I would like to do and he listened...or at least pretended to. :) He told me that I needed to be ready on Friday by 2:30pm, I should wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket. Those are all the clues that I got...until Thursday. He decided he couldn't hold it in anymore.
He surprised me with BYU football tickets and a t-shirt to go with! This was not something I hinted at and some might not think this is so romantic, but for the last 5 years I have said that I really want to go to a BYU football game. It's been on the Provo Bucket List since we moved here. I wasn't expecting it at all, but I loved the fact that he remembered how much I would like to go. And well...it didn't disappoint! BYU crushed Hawaii (47-0)!
Since the game was on Friday, we still had all day Saturday (our actual anniversary) - so we had a full day planned. We went shopping, watched a movie, played skeeball, had an ice cream date at Ike's - they sell BLUE BELL!!! If you have ever been to the South, you know about Blue Bell Ice Cream - there is just nothing like it! Plus, Ike's is a cute 50's style shop that just added to the experience. 
It was such a great day - here's to many more years to come!
