2 years!

Today is our two-year wedding anniversary! I know that in the grand scheme of things, two years really isn't all that long, but it has gone by so fast and I have learned and grown so much with the help of my very best friend.

I love that Michael stands behind me no matter what I decide to- whether it's extra schooling, learning to ride, or getting into photography. He's never failed to encourage me and help me progress.

And I can't help but love his goofy faces. In fact, he might've actually become goofier this past year.

He's still pretty cute when he sleeps.

And I love when we go somewhere together and he introduces me to people as though I'm his most precious gem.

Happy 2nd Anniversary Sweetie!!!

sew cool

Yesterday was our 18-month anniversary of being married! A whole year and a half… we're practically ancient now. The funny thing is that some of the things we bought as newlyweds are just running out, like air-freshener spray or salt, which means that next time we buy those things, we'll be married 3 years… Whoa!

Last night he took me out for dinner at our favorite Greek restaurant. That food always brings me straight back to my days in Europe… Nostalgia's hit me hard.

Today I practiced a bit of sewing and made my piggies some cuddle cups… Maggie loves it, but Juni is just a little shy.

just another… year?!… in paradise

In just a few days' time, we'll have been married for one entire year. I know, one year really is nothing in the grand scheme of things, but it is full of so many special moments and memories. And hey, we made it, why not celebrate it?

So here are just some of the things I love about being married to Michael:

1. I get to be with my truest friend for all time and eternity

2. he can make me smile no matter what

3. he listens to my hopes and dreams

4. he loves all the baked treats I make him

5. he encourages me to be my best

6. he's cute when he laughs

7. he never complains about picking up food for my piggies

8. he likes to snuggle

9. he listens to country music with me. and comes out to the barn when I ask. he doesn't know it yet, but he's slowly becoming a country boy.

10. he likes to surprise me.

11. he tells me I'm cute even when I'm not

12. he's patient.

13. he works hard to support our little family

14. he makes really cool websites
