3 years of wedded bliss

Today we've been married for 3 years. We now own a house, have a (nearly) 4 month old baby, two cats, two dogs, and a lot of love to this day. We've been together 8 years now and it has been a wonderful 8 years filled with so many experiences and lessons. We've learned a lot of patience and trusting. I'm so happy with where we are right now... I wouldn't change a thing.

Here is a photo recap of that amazing day I will never forget... July 21, 2007 @ Riverwood Mansion in Nashville, TN.

TOMS - his & hers

Glenn and I got TOMS for our anniversary gifts to one another. Year two's theme is cotton. We were going to do band shirts, but TOMS are so much cooler, plus with every pair you buy, a pair gets sent to a child in need. :) We each picked a pair that really stand out and feature colors that will match pretty much every solid tee we own.

HIS TOMS

If you're looking for a trendy new pair of shoes, visit TOMS Shoes and check 'em out. New styles are added all the time. At first, they seem expensive, but your price includes two pair... one for you, one for a needy child. I don't think they're too bad. Besides, you can't put too high a price on helping a child in need.

[almost] Married for 2 years, together for 7... it's a piece of heaven!

I know, cheesy title. But I gotta say... with Glenn and I closing in on 7 wonderful years together, I can't believe how the time has flown by. We're fast approaching our second wedding anniversary and our trip to St. Augustine, FL. Our second anniversary also means the beloved "traditional" gift... year 1 was paper so we just got cards for each other and went on our vacation. Year 2 is cotton! While I'm totally unsure of what to get Glenn that is made of cotton, in my mind I imagine myself in 3rd grade gluing cotton balls all over a piece of construction paper in the shape of a heart. Next year, it's leather. Hmm. That can go in many different ways, lol... I'm sure I'll stick to a wallet or something.So as I reminence over the past 7 years and what they've been like, I've decided to highlight some of my favorite moments:

-Watching the lunar eclipse together during our first summer of love :)

-Incubus concerts

-Buzz Fest concerts

-Swing Dancing... getting him to come out of his shy shell on the dance floor

-Date nights at The Melting Pot

-Lazy weekends in our P.J.'s eating stuffed jalapenos and watching B-rated horror films

-Church softball games

-Proposal at church

-Lake house trips with Jon & Jenna (our fave traveling buddies)

-Watching him play Resident Evil 4 and Silent Hill in the dark

-Putting the offer on our house

-Carving pumpkins together for the first time

-Seeing him tear up when he sees a father/child moment on a TV show or commercial

-Seeing him smile at babies

-Practicing our first dance in the apartment living room before the wedding

-Our first & last dance on our wedding day, it was like no one else was there!

-Honeymooning in Belize

-Experimenting with new types of sushi and sashimi

-Everytime we go on road trips because we fill the ash tray in the car with gummy candy!

-Our first Christmas as a married couple

-Spending every New Years Eve with Jon & Jenna

Things I am looking forward to in upcoming years...

-Creatively telling him I'm pregnant (when the time comes)

-Spending entire Saturdays in our P.J.'s with the kids

-Going to Japan

-Demolishing our debts

-Decorating for holidays for the first time in our new house

I know this looks like a ridiculously small list, but everything I can think of involves us with our future children, so in order to keep this from looking sad, I decided to keep it small. ;) I love my husband and our life together. I love our random tickle attacks and cuddles under a blanket on the couch. I love when we share ice cream together, right out of the gallon! I love when we go to the movies, hold hands in the mall, play music loudly while we clean and organize, text each other silly comments all day, and so many other things I could spend all day listing!

I love my hubby.
