Well we've officially achieved the 2 year status as far as anniversaries go!...which is so nice to officially have surpassed what people consider the 'honeymoon stage' and good news~we still love each other and actually enjoy being around each other. I feel like we qualify as a 'real' married couple because of this~which is odd I know. But everyone who is in the same relatively newly married boat knows exactly what I'm talking about; people only think that you enjoy being around each other because you've still yet to complete one full rotation around the sun together while simultaneously living in the same house and sharing the same shampoo. So here's to you my dear Beaver Pelted Man~I love you and look forward to many more 'qualifying' anniversaries:)
Some things we've done together this past year in their respective categories:
Most death defying/stupid:
Dangled our feet over the edge of the Grand Canyon
Lone Ranger:
Crossed 8 states together, living in 3 for the summer
Most responsible:
Got our very own cell phone plan
Got our very own insurance policy.... thank you Dad for keeping us on yours for so long:)
Least Responsible:
Still haven't combined bank accounts
the list goes on and on in this category:)
Most Domestic:
Melynne made 2 quilts...well really half of each, so 1 quilt let's say:)
Least Domestic:
Had our very WORST meal-Melynne charred some chicken in the crockpot (who knew that could happen)-more like incinerated-our entire apartment smelled like we'd cremated someone.
And a whole lot of 'new experiences'
Held our first child Bridger; laying his sweet little body to rest in the Angel Gardens in the Provo City Cemetery
Welcomed home a dear missionary:)
Got a fake christmas tree (can you believe it?) but hey, it was free:)
Both computers died/got eaten by an apparently deadly virus,
Became official mac users,
Met and made many new friends that we hope to keep for our lifetimes,
Strengthened some family ties that we will be forever grateful for,
Enjoyed an overwhelming amount of blessings that came in many different forms...
Ok the list goes on and on....but suffice it to say that without you babe, things wouldn't have been nearly as exciting. Happy Anniversary Love!
Seriously everytime I read your blog I get choked up! You are such a sweet person and you have such a beautiful perspective on life. Thank you so much, Melynne!! I hope the pregnancy is going good!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure it has been these last 2 years. has it really only been 2 years? I was married almost 2 year when you got married? Am I really that old? Kill me now. Melynne we LOVE having you apart of our family.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary! And I just looked at little Broxton's photos!!!! He is PERFECT. I LOVED the photo's of Melynne and him nose to nose, so precious. It totally captures that time in the hospital when you just sniff them all day long. And hold their hands. Melynne, you need to call me! I don't have your number anymore. SO when life slows down a bit and you get the crock pot dinners figured out, give me a ring. Or send me a text=) Congratulations you guys! We could not be happier for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a darling post. I love looking at your wedding pictures, you can't get much more beautiful than you (then and now.) Boy I am sure glad that you love my brother and keep him in line. I have seen amazing changes in him that I know only you could bring out, for sure the fact that he will open his wallet for you! Now that says a lot!!! I just can't wait to see little Broxton! It is freakin killing me. So hurry and put some pictures of him up on the blog inbetween the feedings, nursing, laundry, nap times, etc.I guess does that mean there is any time??? It is super crazy and all new, just enjoy it!! P.S. You are probably exhausted and wondering how you will survive the next day, don't worry you will and guess what is even more exciting from this point on in your life until they are out of the house you will always be just a little bit tired, haha. Basically all of us moms are walking Zombies, YEA!
