2nd Anniversary

Today is our 2nd wedding anniversary. I've worked really hard to get 2 posts out today :) 

Because my husband got off early yesterday, we actually celebrated yesterday. I don't really like eating at restaurants and since COVID, I most defiantly don't. Nick agreed to grill steaks if I went and bought them so that's what we planned. I made more than enough food. 

I made steak, Bob Evans Mac and Cheese, Lemon Butter Shrimp, Roasted Potatoes, and Mexican Street Corn. Like I said, More than enough food.

We decided to watch the flash together as we ate. We had planned on playing Mario Cart but we both had a migraine last night so we just chilled. 

It's hard to believe it's been 2 years since we got married. This past year has been the best year of my life. It's also been a really hard year.

We have had some really fun moments. Nick went to Canada! That was a big moment. I also started my own business. This was big because yes I'm home but no I'm not free, I'm working. We finally painted the 3 rooms that we wanted to paint: Living room, Office and Kitchen. We went to Vegas for a wedding.

We had some down moments: the miscarriage. This was the hardest thing to walk through and I was incredibly grateful that I had my husband by my side. 

Marriage isn't easy. It takes a lot of work but each year has been better than the year before

Our Wedding Day

As I’m writing this, it’s the day of our 2nd anniversary. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 2 years. It feels like yesterday and at the same time, that it’s always been.  I'm going to go rather quickly through our wedding day.

The day before our wedding day was really stressful and the reason it was stressful was that I wanted to be in control. In the end, it worked out beautifully but I wish I could go back and change my attitude that day. 

On the morning of our wedding, Nick came to my house to pick me up. I think it was like 6:30 or 7. I don’t remember. Then we drove out to my mom and dads since that’s where I would be getting ready. 

When we got there, Nick and the groomsmen left to go get ready at the barn. My friend did my hair and then I did my makeup. My little cousins put my veil on me. (I have the cutest pictures from this.) then my cousin (who was my wedding planner for the day), the photographer, and I left for the barn. We went to go get first look pictures with my dad and nick. 

We took pictures at the barn and then we moved to the ceremony location which was my then boss’ house. And we took more pictures there. 

The whole time I was worried that it was going to rain but it didn’t! It was hot though. 

The ceremony was wonderful. Few things I would change. 1) practice lifting the veil 2) make sure everyone knows where the groom is at and 3) make sure someone picks up grandma two hours before the ceremony. 

After the ceremony, it started to rain so most people left for the barn. We stayed behind to get some video with the  Videographer. Some things I would change here 1) make sure you and your husband talk about cars 2) make sure you have cars and keys and 3) enjoy being married for 15 mins and 4) bring lots of water to an Indiana June wedding. 

Once we made it to our Reception, the real party started. Our reception was amazing and so much fun. We ate tacos, we danced our hearts out. Unplanned our reception lasted 2 hours longer than we had originally planned and that's because our get-away car got a flat tire. But it was so worth the 2 hours of more dancing and hanging out with family.

In the end, our wedding day was amazing and perfect. There are things I would change but the memory is great. 

At the end of the day, I married my best friend and that's really all that mattered that day.

Fun Facts about our wedding

5) Right as we said our vows, a horse across the pond neighed!

 

Six months of Marriage - 12.04.18

On Sunday, We've been married for 6 months. It's amazing how time both flies and drags . lol Marriage has been better than i ever could imagine.

It's had it's ups and downs.

Our honeymoon was great. we were on vacation.
Then we got back home. lol That first week was interesting. Lots of new things to learn. Nick was also working his last week at his old job so we worked 2 different schedules while preparing for him to start a new job. He was also going to class 4 nights a week so he was never home.

July was rough.. It started with me having wisdom tooth pain. And since i'm an accountant, i worried about how we could afford the surgery that i was needing for my wisdom tooth. On top of being in a lot of pain, July was busy with plans: the county fair, 2 of them lol , and preparing for my family vacation. It was hard on nick because it was the first month of adjusting to living not with his parents. it was rough. I can't say that enough.
I went on a family vacation with my family first week in august and Nick stayed home to take care of the animals and work his new job. It was a good vacation, if any vacation is good when your husband of 2 months is at home. lol But then I came home and we went right back into our daily lives but it was much smoother than July.
And each month has gotten better since.
I've finely gotten used to the 10 extra loads of laundry a week. I've gotten used to having 2 dogs, 1 cat and a rabbit inside lol. A cat who pees on the floor. (Have i said i don't like cats? lol)
I've gotten used to my husband being picky.

While it's had it's ups and downs. I wouldn't trade it for the world.
While Nick said that 6 months isnt a big deal, I think it is.
I think this is amazing and i'm thankful that God allowed me to married this wonderful man.
I can't wait for many more months.

Wedding Date post - 10.18.18

It's been a while since I've written a post. So much has happened.

We got married on June 9th at a pond and it was the most wonderful day ever. :) Mr and i went on our honeymoon to Louisville Kentucky and we had a blast. We went to a glass blowing shop and went go karting and went to mamoth cave and went camping lol. It was a blast.

 We got back from our honeymoon and went right into life. Nick started a new job and was going to school 4 nights a week which caused some stressful conversations. lol

We are still adjusting to life with 2 dogs and 1 cat in an 800 square foot house. One of our dogs especially has a hard time accepting the cat. They're getting better together.

I was still able to go on my family's yearly vacation to Canada. It was hard going a week. Hard to be away from Nick but at the same time hard to not stay in my Happy Place for  2 weeks. I have always remembered going for 2 years so this was a first memory.

Also this summer, I had to have unexpected wisdom tooth surgury when i found out that not only was my wisdom tooth infected but my back two molars as well.

Life is a busy as ever and it's not stopping now
