Alex and I have been together for 4 years this month! We met in the Fall of 2005 and started dating in January of 2006.  It has been a rocky road, we've both been through a lot in that time. Moving, starting new schools, graduating, looking for new jobs, etc.  We have an extremely strong friendship and an even stronger love, I don't know what I would do with out him.

This past weekend, Alex surprised me with a hotel room up in Sedona for the weekend.  We had a cozy room with a patio that looked over grass and mountains, our room had a fireplace and a jacuzzi tub inside.  It was wonderful.  It was a great chance for us to get away from our crazy lives and actually spend quality time together.

I made Alex a present, nothing expensive, but straight from the heart.  The first part was a scrap book that I started for our "4th year" together.  The other part I wrote for him, it was called "I love you because".  You can probably guess what that included. :)

Long story short, Alex has made me a much better person.  He calms down my feisty personality and makes me see situations through other people's eyes. He always tells me how great of a person I am, how beautiful I am, and how much he loves me.  

Our first day in Sedona, hiking up the hill to see the chapel on the hill :)

Being silly kids as usual!

One of my favorites from the trip!!

Anniversary Night, we got all dresses up and relaxed, drank the wine and snacked on the food the hotel gave us.  We decided to order in for our dinner so we wouldn't have to leave our amazing room.  It was relaxing!

All fancied up ;)

Last day, walking around downtown Sedona before we headed home.
