Last year on our one-year anniversary we got dressed up and celebrated by toasting our honeymoon champagne, eating out at one of our favorite places that we rarely get to go to, and watching our wedding DVD to laugh at the memories.
And last year, the next morning we slept before heading to Bob Evans for breakfast. Sort of a nod to our college days when we went every Sunday after church to talk about our weeks.
To say this year was different, is an understatement! On our two year wedding anniversary (and since we were married on our "dating" anniversary, we have officially been together for seven years) it was all things budget and baby. Obviously, there was no champagne sipping/toasting...no fancy dinner out (especially not in that tight blue dress!! haha Can you imagine!?)...and no sleeping in the next morning after watching our wedding DVD late into the night.
Since it was a Tuesday, I had to work of course. The night before our anniversary, we celebrated by doing what we do best these days....buying cute things for baby boy. We found some clearance deals at Target that we couldn't pass up! Then after work, we went out to eat (because I was too exhuasted from work to cook any sort of dinner...which can happen often these days!) but kept it to $20. Then we got home and both of us wanted to lay down, but figured since it was only 9:00, we should start to build the baby's dresser that has been on our to-do list for two weeks. Um...anyone that has ever "built" IKEA furniture before, you really should have warned us that it would take us until 2:00 a.m. and we're still not sure we're done! We laid out about 1,000 pieces in the nursery and throughout the process were either laughing hysterically because neither one of us could figure out the directions that IKEA provided....or cursing at the top of our lungs out of frustration. It was quite a production! Needless to say, we called it a night at two a.m. when I was toast, my feet were the size of watermelons, and I was getting a bit teary about everything.
Getting ready to go "out" to eat to celebrate
And the winner is....Daniel's choice (far right). Mainly, because I just don't want to argue anymore about a silly blue paint color on the wall. He's doing the work, he can choose. I just hope he won't regret that all of the decorations we purchased so far go much better with the ones on the left (aka..my choices). ha :)
Didn't get a picture last night of the finished product...but will post tomorrow!
Even with the chaos, we still had so much fun chatting about the past seven years, marriage, and the new journey that we are on. It is sort of mind-blowing that in just two months it will no longer be just the two of us, as it has been for so long. We already feel his presence, and our world pretty much revolves around this little HUGE bean in my tummy. It is very hard to believe that for seven years I've been kissing the same frog to see if he really is a prince. ;)
Just kidding.
