Well as the title states, we've recently had our 2 year anniversary! Its been very exciting. One one hand if feels like it has been much longer, on the other hand the time has just flown by! At any rate we still thoroughly enjoy being married, and look forward to many more years of it. To celebrate our anniversary we did two things this year, first we decided to have a nice homemade dinner instead of spending a ton at a fancy restaurant. We had Asparagus Stuffed Chicken, with Butternut Squash and Salad, along with some sparkling fruit juice. It tasted sooo good. We both agreed that we enjoyed our homemade meal more than we would have enjoyed a steak or something from a restaurant.
Here's a picture of it:
(yes it really does look like that when you make it at home!)

The second thing we did to celebrate our anniversary was we took a short trip up to Fairmont Hot Springs. It was a great trip, we had work off on Thursday and Friday of that week so we booked a night at the Fairmont Lodge and drove up to relax at the hot springs. I had forgotten how much I LOVE sitting in the springs when its cold outside. It was so relaxing. We treated ourselves to dinner at the lodge and watched Knight and Day. Its a pretty good movie with Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. I recommend it. We drove home on Friday, and on the way we stopped for lunch at this little diner called the Fire Valley Restaurant in Canal Flatts. It was such a "movie type" small town restaurant. A little old lady was in the kitchen making all of our food, and there were lumberjacks wearing plaid and hunters wearing their cameo eating lunch. I enjoyed it. So it was a fun little trip to Fairmont, and I look forward to doing it again sometime soon!
Another exciting thing that is recent - Jordy got a job! We are so excited. He got a job at 1st Choice Savings and Credit Union, Fairmont Branch in Lethbridge. He starts on Monday, Nov. 22/10. It is such a huge relief. We didn't know where we would be living in the next little while, we were starting to think we would have to move to Calgary or Edmonton for him to find work, but our prayers were answered and we get to stay in Lethbridge! I'm especially excited because that means I get to keep my job, which I still LOVE. And we're happy we get to stay in our ward. Just knowing that this is where we'll be for the next few years is such a relief. I am so proud of him for working hard and getting this job. I know he'll do well at it!
So those are our life updates for now. We are excited counting down the days till we fly down to Florida for Christmas (and leave behind this hideous cold winter weather for a few days). Over the last few days we've been hit with about a foot and a half of snow. With snow, Christmas shopping, and it being the middle of November, its sure beginning to feel a lot like the Christmas season is starting. We'll be putting up our tree soon! I already have decorations up around the house - can you tell I love this time of the year?
Anyways, I've posted a picture from our wedding day for fun - I love this picture!
Till next time.
