Anniversary! Relive your wedding day!

Celebrating a wedding anniversary can be one of the most special occasions of the year! This month, my husband and I celebrated our five year wedding anniversary. That's a milestone, right?! Marriage is something that needs to be nurtured and rekindled. What we did on our anniversary this year did just that! On the day of our anniversary we "relived" our wedding day! Confused? Well I'll tell ya how we did it!

At 10:00 am, the time that we got married five years earlier, we were in the place that we got married! We got married in the LDS Temple in Rexburg, ID so we spent the morning there!

Next, because we had mexican food at our wedding luncheon, we went out to a Mexican restaurant!

That evening, I sent my hubby to get cupcakes from the exact place that catered the cupcakes at our wedding reception. While he was gone, I pulled together as many decorations as possible to take our minds back five years. I set out my wedding dress, some flowers from our wedding, and our wedding invitation.

Once my hubby got back, we ate our desert, looked at our wedding pictures and watched out wedding video footage. You could also listen to any wedding music you have and have a "first dance" to the song you danced to on your wedding day! You can continue to "relive" what you did after your reception as well (wink, wink).

This whole anniversary date idea can be a special way to rekindle your love. It was so much fun to think back to that special day and celebrate with my hubby. Just like we did on that exact day years earlier!

Rexburg Dates!

My blog was recently featured in the local newspaper (The Rexburg Standard Journal). I was super excited! Since then, a local business has requested that I put together a list of date ideas specific to the Rexburg area. I LOVE requests, so here it goes! Here are some ideas for my Rexburg readers!

- Stop by the amazing Cocoa Lodge and order one of their many different flavors of hot cocoa (they recently moved locations to 70 South 200 West across the street from Great Scotts). My favorite flavor is their peanut butter cup hot cocoa. Take your yummy drink with you as you take a walk around Porter Park with your date!
- Exercise together! Play tennis, go running/walking, shoot some hoops, or whatever. End your heart pounding activity by sharing a yummy Jamba Juice smoothie! Their "Apple n' Greens" smoothie is my favorite!
- Go to Scoops! This can be a fun date all by itself. Besides their many different flavors of ice cream at only $1 per scoop, they have a ping pong and Foosball table! The atmosphere is a fun and relaxed one!
- Snuggle up and watch the sunrise together! It's currently rising around 7:15 am. Afterwards, head over to Great Harvest Bread Co. on main street for some yummy breakfast! I love their cinnamon burst bread.
- One of our favorite local places to eat for date night is Gringos Mexican Restaurant! Their prices are very reasonable and their chips and salsa are to die for! You can then walk across the street to the Paramount theater to snuggle in front of the big screen.
- Since it's warming up outside, pack a lunch and head over to the Nature Park by the fairgrounds. Don't forget extra bread so that you can feed the ducks! They also have a pretty walking path that you can enjoy together.

Rexburg locals, take advantage of our local businesses during your date nights! I have only mentioned a few of many options!
