Three years of marriage.

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

Yesterday marked our three year anniversary, and I still can’t believe I ended up with the very same man I told myself four years ago would never give me the time of day. A man I felt so strongly for but thought being with him would be too good to be true, so I prayed that God would send me someone just like him. We have our problems, flaws, and have made some bad decisions apart and especially together. But I couldn’t be this happy with anyone else. He’s my best friend, the love of my life, and the father of my child. I may still be on an anniversary high, but the truth is, not a day goes that I don’t thank God for proving me wrong.

a glimpse of our three years together.

And in case you were wondering…

Our Wedding Story.

My loves.

My sweet husband looking especially handsome in uniform while holding an icicle he got off the roof.

Our spunky Layla who loves to put her bum on the higher step and legs on the lower step when she races me up the stairs and waits for me to meet her.

And of course, the tiny avocado-sized baby in my belly.

These are the three earthly loves of my life.

A photo dump and some thoughts.

Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

I stumbled across these old photos while I was organizing my albums and realized that I never posted them, so here goes the dump!

I don’t know if it’s the photographer in me or what, but every so often I have the urge to drag Jimmy away from what he’s doing and take “updated” family photos of us. And it’s easy to do so with a nice view in our backyard, a tripod and remote! Sometimes these urges come very often, maybe too often (or maybe not because I firmly believe that you can never have too many photos with your family and people you love the most). But my husband does not share this belief. To be fair, the snow makes it a little harder to have the motivation to take photos. But even so, he is definitely not into getting his picture taken. I’ve always thought it ironic that he ended up marrying me since photography has been a passion of mine for years.

I do want to give him credit though, he knows how important it is to me and although some days he starts to get antsy to be done with it already (he says it takes a long time and I am indecisive…which I can’t argue with because it’s true ;) ) He always does it. And more often than not, he keeps it positive and makes it fun for both of us. So now there are two reasons for this post. The more important reason being that I am thankful for my sweet husband who learns to have fun doing the things that are important to me…even if it’s not a big deal to him. Sometimes couples don’t have every hobby in common and I appreciate him so much for putting forth the effort for me!

Hope you all enjoy your Valentine’s Day! Ours will consist of snuggling up to a movie on the couch and possibly some chinese takeout. Keepin’ it mellow this year. Oh and a little pregnancy update…here is me and the orange-sized babe at 15 weeks! Feeling good and exciting to be sporting this new little bump :)

Just Because.

Monday, November 14th, 2011

Once upon a rainy day we went driving around and window shopped at a few stores followed by dinner. It’s not rainy anymore which makes it a lot harder to drive in snow, but I love our “Just because” days and make sure to cherish them as much as I can. Especially during times like these when things are a bit busier and our dates are fewer and further between. But I’m not complaining because the holidays are about to begin and that means more date nights in the comfort of our own home with movies, hot chocolate, and popcorn!

Happy Monday!
