Before I say anything else, first let me say that I’m not trying to boast.
BUT, Jake and I just bought our first car. A CAR. Our first major purchase as a married couple!! And let me tell you, I about peed my pants as we were signing the contract because, let’s face it, I’m not used to seeing large sums of money disappear before my eyes. Kinda like magic. Guess this means I’m really an adult now. Anyways, like I said, I’m not trying to brag. So why am I blogging about our new car? Because it lead to this:
You see, after buying a car, we did what any sensible person would do… we took that baby for a drive!! We headed up up up to Mirror Lake.
I’m slightly ashamed to admit it, considering I’ve lived in Utah basically my entire life, but this was my first visit to the beautiful Mirror Lake. Jake figured it was about time.
But wait, it gets better: we packed a picnic. Complete with some celebratory champagne! I know right?! So great!! A romantic picnic just like you see in the movies!!
Ok… maybe not quite, considering our humble meal consisted of some tuna sandwiches, yogurt, and carrots. (We’re not complicated people.) Also, sitting on a blanket on rocky terrain is not as romantic as they make it out to be. (I may or may not have a bruise on my knee.)
(FYI: had there been a spider on the web, this picture would be non-existent.)
That being said, it was still a lovely celebration. Good enough for me anyways :) And I hope to make it back up to the beautiful Mirror Lake reeeeal soon. Preferably with a happy couple ;)
Aaaaand ok, ridiculously cheesy I know, but I couldn’t help myself…
Happy Thursday!
