happy 2 year anniversary to us!

 

we made it, guys. we are now beginning into our third year of marriage...which starts to make us "oldy-weds"

it truly was a fabulous day and norman spoiled me the saturday before by taking me shopping in idaho falls.

i gave him a gift card to eBay for some fishing stuff {i didn't want to try to pick something out...}

 

but on our actual anniversary, we did this:

 

first, we have a tradition that we have some kind of breakfast meal together every year.

so i let norman pick the place, and we went to denny's :)

{very classy}

 

 

but i tell ya....denny's knows how to make a mean breakfast.

 

 

 

i also wore my new mustache shirt. :)

{nicknamed: the lorax}

 

then after dinner, we went to get some hot chocolate at our favorite hot chocolate spot: maverick gas station...

{this date is getting classier by the minute}

but it really does have fabulous hot chocolate.

 

however, norman had a little accident.

 

 

 

 

his spilled everywhere....{sorry for the blurry picture...but i was laughing really hard}.

 

then we drove around town to look at all the lights.

{my favorite part of christmas}

 

 

then we came home, snuggled up in bed and watched Dear John. {another tradition}

 

norman and i have 5 other people that live with us. my sister and her 4 kids. so it was extremely nice to have a night all to ourselves. we really enjoy each others company and have so much fun together. it made for a wonderful 2nd anniversary.

we were gonna do something really expensive and fun...but..lets be real....we're poor college students...and this was just as good :)

 

a few days later we wrote in our anniversary memory book thingy our 20 memories {10 each} from the year and reminisced on everything that has happened and how much we've grown in the last year.

 

i am so glad i got one of the good ones. and i love that i have a day every year that i get to celebrate that. he is so good to me and we have learned a lot. the first year of marriage is pretty rough...and there are a lot of arguments, but through this second year i really can see our progress and how we have grown to love each other more than we love being right. :) it's such a fun experience and i love him so much. i'm excited for many many MANY more years of learning and lovin. :)

 

happy anniversary, boo!
