Three Years

Yesterday was our third anniversary.  It actually is kind of surprising to me that it's only been three years.  Haven't we always been together?

The past two years we took a quick overnight trip to Crystal Springs, but this year we didn't really feel like going anywhere because of all the travelling we have done and will soon be doing.  We didn't really have time to plan anything, so we just kind of took the day as it went. 

My mom had been visiting us to help organize and make room for the baby (hopefully more on that soon), so we started the day of with squeegie eggs (otherwise known as golden rod eggs) and wishing her a good journey home.  After that we started a painting project for the nursery which lasted into the early afternoon.  We just got all the prep work and the first coat done, but it feels good to have it on its way!  Doing it together made it more fun.

Later, we had a yummy picnic at the pond, also known as The Lake at the Hills (silly city council people--I think that's who named it anyway).  It was only the second time I'd been there, and we had a really good time just relaxing and playing in the water.  Then we felt like renting a movie and using some awesome coupons to get a meal at Quiznos--so we did. :)  Oh, and we bought some chocolate and our anniversary present. 

We don't get each other separate presents for our anniversary.  Instead we decide together on something that we would both like and find useful.  The first year we got a food processor.  This year we bought a circular saw.  I'm excited for the projects we can do now!

It was a wonderful, relaxing day, and I was so happy to spend it with the man I love!
