Our 4th wedding anniversary was last Thursday, August 2. Neither of us could believe that 4 years have gone by already! We were planning a get away, but decided we probably shouldn't spend the money. So, I decided to plan a surprise anniversary celebration night for Friday night. I bought gifts as clues for each step of the date. Before we got into the car, I realized that the whole surprise thing was not the best idea for Heston =) He really didn't like the fact that he did not know where we were going!
His first clue was 2 sodas and our favorite chips Flamin' Hot Cheetos. I got our favorite pizza from Papa John's. Yum!
We stopped by Heston's parents house to eat since it was close to the next clue and they were away for the weekend. I then gave him the second gift, which was a DVD copy of our wedding video! you have no idea how special this was. That was the FIRST TIME we had ever seen a video of our wedding. Someone recorded it at our wedding, but it seems to be a never ending project. Apparently a guy at our church had video taped the wedding and had it filed away. That was a GREAT anniversary present.
The next gift/clue was movie theater candy. We went to see the Bourne Ultimatum on opening night. It was a great night, but I won't be making surprise date night an activity for the future.
Thanks, Heston for a wonderful 4 years. Thanks for the beautiful card =) I love you very much and I look forward to many more years with you.

Happy Anniversary! What a great surprise to get your wedding on DVD!
Kelli, it sounded so fun! Happy Anniversary!
those pictures are AMAZING! I love your suprise clues too. I need to do something like that for Brent :) Next summer, we'll be in PA again. I will DEFINITELY call you and maybe we could meet half-way. Praise God for giving you a great job...with many opportunities to pray over these kids/adults. I love you and miss you so much too. I hope you can come back and visit...you'll have to stay with us. love you.
Happy Anniversary!! You did a great job planning all of those surprises. Sounds like you had a great night. Very nice wedding pictures as well
Happy late anniversary, and way to go, being creative even though you didn't have the money to take a trip!
Maybe Heston will look back on it and like it??? I don't do too well with surprises either, too impatient!
