The Best Three Years

This past Tuesday we celebrated our three year anniversary! I can't believe it.  Three years already.  One of our favorite songs by far is called Anniversary by Tony Toni Tone, check it out.  Anyway, back on track now...

The day was like any other.  Chris dropped me off at school in the morning.  My last class gets out at 1:50p.m. but I had some stuff to do in the library so I told Chris to just pick me up after he got off work... AT 4PM!  Yes he got off one hour early.  So awesome!  We headed home and I allowed him to open gift one of four.

We had about two and a half hours to kill before our dinner reservation so I thought we could watch the movies.  After he opened the first one he pretty much guessed the other three so I just let him open them all.  They are four volumes that go to the full first season of the latest Avengers cartoon series.  Chris first saw this season on netflix and loved it and talked about it a lot so I had to get it.  He loves them!

I thought I did pretty well on gift choice this year.  Again my gift was the kitchen aide so no gift for me but he played the whole dinner himself so that was gift enough.

Yes, my husband is a cartoon watching 28 year old. But I love him dearly.

Chris made a 7 p.m. dinner reservation at Cypress. It was wonderful.  We got all dressed up and since he told them it was our anniversary they put little star confetti on the table it was so nice.

The food was delicious.  Think southern style cuisine.  One of their main dishes was shrimp and grits!  

Dessert was amazing.  I got the dessert special which was strawberry and blueberry shortcake and Chris got a banana cake with macadamia nut ice cream.  Yummy!

Over all the night was awesome.  We returned home and just relaxed and watched a movie.  Way chill.  

I'm Going to brag a bit and say I have the best husband ever.  He is so kind and supportive.  Always willing to help and serve me and he treats me so well.  One of my favorite things he still does is open my car door for me... he is such a gentleman.  I love you Chris.  Life is so wonderful with you and I can't wait for an eternity more of time with you.

Second Week of Freedom

My second week off from school wasn't too eventful.  On Monday we went to see The Avengers.  We have been looking forward to seeing this movie and it did not disappoint.

Yes, we are nerds and where I comic book shirts.

This is Chris's Excited Face.

In way of my garden, SO MUCH has happened.  I constructed the second frame and planted some more.  I felt so handy making the frames I got to use a drill and everything.  Plus I did it all by my self instead of having Chris do it, so I feel pretty accomplished.

This is the first garden and lots is growing!! You can't really see everything but it's there.

This is the second garden and I planted a week and three days ago and all this has grown.

Herbs:

Oregano (sorry you can't see the stick very well)

Tomatoes and Lettuce.  I had to move them from where the herbs were located because when we had some much rain the beginning of this week they needed better sunlight. I'm just not sure what I'm going to do when the tomatoes get bigger because that's a pretty small planter.  We'll see when I get there.

All in All I'm a...

On the Friday of the second week of freedom we drove down to Naples to visit with family.  On Saturday, we attended my brother in law's graduation from law school.  It was so exciting and I just can't believe three years have gone by already!

 Later that evening we had dinner at a restaurant called The Capital Grille with Brian's parents and my sister, dad, and step mom.  Pretty fancy but very good!

Sunday, we attended church up in Cape Coral for my new baby nephew's baby blessing.  He's so cute and already getting so big.  We just stayed for sacrament meeting and then returned back to my brother and sister in law's home and had the most amazing salad bar.

So the two weeks were bliss but alas they have come to a close and I started school once again. Sad Day.
