Yes, Stuart and I have been married 5 years now! Our anniversary was on Friday, and Stuart surprised me with a fun weekend. He gave me an early present last Saturday. Then on Friday he told me we're going up to Portland and spending the night...without kids! We checked in at the downtown Hilton, and had dinner at Chart House. (Thanks for the gift card mom and dad!) This restaurant was amazing, it's located on Terwiliger Blvd. and overlooks the whole city. So we had a great dinner, and it was the most full I have been in a long time. Lobster spring rolls, shrimp scampi, filet mignon, plus desserts!
This was our view from the hotel room. You can't really see it in the picture, but we could see the water and a bridge behind all the buildings.
We actually had an uninterrupted night's sleep! YAY! Thanks to Duane and Dana for watching the kiddos. Then we walked around downtown and went shopping. Our hotel was only a couple blocks away from Pioneer Courthouse Square. It was a lot of fun. Macy's was having their grand re-opening, and it was craziness! They had this huge cake, so I had to take a picture. I have loved watching "Ace of Cakes" on the Food Network lately, so I was impressed to see a cake of this caliber in person. It was a replica of the Macy's building, and by the time I had the camera out the top couple floors were already gone!
I have the best husband...thanks for a great weekend Stu, I love you!

Hey Carolyn,
I saw your site when I was on Kristy's the other day. I looked through a lot. WOW! Hopefully I can get proficient enough to do the same. We are still working on getting ours started. 5 years! I didn't even know. Sorry we have lost contact. Sounds like things are going really well for you guys though. I would love to stay in touch. Here is my email and blog site. mandibell@gmail.com, chris.theallenclan.org
Congrats! I bet the 5 years went so fast. We are going on 7 and it seemed like it was yesterday, and then at the same time it seems like forever. Being married is fabulous!
First, that cake is SO cool! Congrats on your 5th anniversary. Amazing how those years just fly. What a great way to celebrate: good job Stu! (And I'm jealous of a night without any kiddos!)
