3 year anniversary

3 years ago today I married my best friend!

He continues to be my very best friend. We share everything...good things, bad things, things we probably shouldn't.

 

My life is 100 times better because Ryan is my husband. Things aren't always peachy keene. No, no. We have our fair share of ups and down, but thank God there are more ups than downs. We knew within a very short time (a couple months) that we would get married. We did the whole "when we get married" bit before we were even technically boyfriend/girlfried. We just knew. Three years and two beautiful babies later, we still know. There is no one I'd rather be sharing my life with than him.

 

I love the love that he has for me. He tolerates me even when he wants to punch me in the face.

 

I love the love that he has for our babies.

 

We don't have big plans for this evening. I awaiting his arrival home from Missouri. Yah, didn't even get to wake up with my husband on our anniversary, but I will be going to bed with him. Don't even go all R rated on me either. Ha! I plan to make him engage in some pillow talk about how much he loves me.

 

Happy Anniversary, Bunney!!

Anniversaries

Me: Bunney let's go back to Alaska.

Ryan: I'd like to.

Me: Okay. We can go for our 10 year anniversary. That's in... 6 years. Niiine? Seven. (In confident tone) Seven years.

We don't know how long we've been married apparently (feels like 10). Afterwards he said he was going to agree with the 6 until I realized that wasn't right.

Hopefully when our 10 year anniversary rolls around we will remember we decided on Alaska. Wonder what the glaciers will look like then?!

2 years ago

Yesterday was our two year anniversary and since it was also Picture Day for Wyatt I decided to hold off on posting some of my favorite wedding pictures today. I should first start out saying that I am forever thankful for Courtney and her decision to contact me via Facebook while on our mini-moon and tell me the horror story that her friend experienced with the photographer we had hired. If it hadn’t been for her and our quick thinking to play their game and “scam” them back we probably would have never received our wedding pictures. (It was so bad that the local news actually did a segment on the couple who were notorious for taking engagement pictures, returning them promptly, taking the wedding pictures and then NEVER having any contact with the couples again. So 15+ couples never received their wedding pictures. That is completely tragic to me. We decided to tell our photographers that we had a potential client that wanted to see hard copies and not computer proofs because they were looking for a photographer and were seriously interested in ours but we had a specific weekend we were going to see them so we really needed them by that date. I swear this is the ONLY reason we got our wedding pictures back from them because they saw it as a potential person to scam. So sad. It was well over a year after our wedding (after they moved to Texas-once she was off probation from jail!!) that I received my proofs that I was entitled to.) Long story, no? Nonetheless, I am happy that Courtney chose a different photographer for her wedding and that she went out on a limb to contact me (someone she didn’t even know) and help a sister out. We have been “friends” (Facebook and Blog) since then and I hope to meet her in real life soon. I don’t have a friend named Courtney so Ryan is finally beginning to pick up on who “Courtney” is and I don’t have to keep calling her “my blog friend Courtney.” Ha!


So in honor of our wonderful wedding day, here are just a few of my favorite pictures:

Bunney,

You are such a blessing in my life whether I tell you enough or not You are without a doubt that most annoying person that I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and how lucky I am to be stuck with your for life. People must be jealous. I look forward to many, many years together when you are morbidly obese from all the late night Oreos. I love how those reading this love letter to you will think I am nothing but a bitty to you, but in fact you are eating it right up because that's just how we work. You will forever be my love, my Bunney, my baby daddy, and the one I go to first. I love you so much and I thank you for 2 great years so far.

Lurve you.

49 weeks old/2nd anniversary

49 weeks old and he was a Grumpy McGrump. I do believe that his 2nd top tooth is hurting him. Tomorrow should be better!

Don't be fooled, he wasn't that upset. He was fake screaming and crying. Real cute!

See, I got some smiles out of him...

But mostly he was content chillin' in my lap.

Today is also our 2nd anniversary. Mom called and asked what we were doing and we had zero plans, so she insisted we go eat dinner and her and dad could come watch the baby. We took them up on the offer!

His PawPaw brought him some ice cream. Well, him and Marley.

Our 2nd anniversary picture:

changed a lot from last years when I was 37 weeks pregnant and just finished hiking Petit Jean:

Happy 2nd anniversary Bunney! I love you so much!

2nd Anniversary Trip

This past weekend Ryan and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary. Aww, two years already? How is that even possible? Our actual anniverary is on Tuesday the 20th but we celebrated early.

Friday we loaded up to take the baby to stay with Nana and Pa. Seconds before we left the UPS dropped off my Nikon camera! Woo!! I wasn't even expecting it because I had checked it the night before and it was still in the shop. I guess they had finished and overnighted it to me all for free!! My flash had broke not even two weeks after I got it back the first time and I sent it back in and they fixed it immediately and for free. I have been very satisfied with their customer service! Anyway... We had just woke him up from his nap and you can definitely tell.

 One we said our always sad goodbyes we got on the road and headed to Salesville, AR which is a few miles outside of Mountain Home. On the way we channeled our inner antiquers and conquered two stores. Lots of laughs in these two stores and luckily sadly we left empty handed.

We stayed in a cute little cabin with this loft...also known as Wyatt's future sleeping quarteres. Ryan is showing it off, but it appears as though he is calling for his Juliet.

Me and my love:

 We went to Mountain Home to eat dinner and see a movie. I highly suggest 21 Jump Street if you want to see a funny movie! Afterwards, I thought it would be hilarious to ride in the center on the way home...

That's what love birds do, no?

 I honestly felt like we were 16 and just soooo in love.

Our cabin was right on the river and it was so nice and relaxing.

Saturday we slept in until about 8:30 and got around and on the White River by 10:30. I absolutely love trout fishing and I have beat Ryan since 2009.

I caught the first (and last) fish on our trip.

Here's Ryan's. He actually caught more. 17 to 14. and he even caught a brown.

More fish pictures:

This was the first holiday I didn't get to spend with the baby. I missed St. Patrick's Day with him but I was sure to pack him so green so he didn't get pinched! This is the picture my MIL sent us.

Saturday night we returned to Mtn. Home again and ate at a little restaurant called 870 Bistro. If you are up there I highly suggest you eat there. Very good!

We got back to the cabin and were in bed by 9:52. Party animals.

We got up Sunday at 8:30 again and packed up and got ready to head home and get our sweet baby boy!

Only Ryan will appreciated this from the ride home:

Bunney, do you see what I see?

Thank you for a great anniversary trip! You can thank me for suggesting a trout fishing trip!
