2 Years!

Time really does fly..I cannot believe Ben and I have been married two years already..but at the same time I feel like we've been married forever! Isn't that strange? We celebrated at home, instead of finding a babysitter (I'm not ready for that yet) and paying for restaurant food that's bad for us! We still spent a pretty penny on our dinner but it was SO much tastier. If you don't know, my husband is the BEST cook! He has such a talent with food...I love it! So we had our favorite appetizers throughout the day! Took me back to our dating days..when we had money..and we'd go to nice places often. We started out with some tomato mozzarella with fresh basil and olive oil...MMMMM my fave!

Then we had some sourdough baguettes in olive oil and balsamic vinegar...another MMM MMM good favorite!

We exchanged our gifts..Ben got me a pedometer (we're getting ready to do a 5K then a half marathon in November), a olive oil flask thingy, and these beautiful roses!

I got Ben this BIG Topsy Turvy! We can't wait to grow our own veggies!

Connor enjoyed his booster seat in the kitchen while we cooked and ate...

We had some shrimp cocktail... big jumbo shrimp...MMMMM

More bread...

Sparkling Cider...

And of course, the main event....Chicken Parmesan with red pepper, pesto, provolone...over a bed of fettucini with marinara sauce. WOW!!!

It was the most delicious food! It was so fun having the quiet of our house and our sweet baby boy there with us--it was reality!

Later we played Monopoly which Ben gave me for our anniversary last year..we haven't played it since so we thought we'd make a little tradition of it ha ha.

The past two years have been SO wonderful! I never knew love and happiness like ours existed. I'm so thankful for Ben and his great husband skills..and his fatherly skills. Connor already adores him!

Some things that happened this year are:

~We moved out on our own again after living with family

~We went to Hawaii

~Ben started his Masters program

~I worked for, then quit InfoWest

~WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL SON!

It was a busy, fun, exciting and wonderful year!

I love you babe! Here's to many, many more!
