Three Years

Somehow 365 days have passed since the last June 30th, and we've been married for another year!

We like to drag out festivities as long as possible in this home, so we've been celebrating for several weeks days now.

We went to a play.  We went out to dinner.  We used every excuse possible to eat decadent desserts.

We purchased some additional bling for the ring (*insert girlish scream here*).

We went into that weird blue room in our house and played with a few other things we bought each other.

We reminisced about all the years (yes, plural and not even just two now!) we've been together since the big day.

I have to say that our smiles are now even bigger than they were back then and the days have only gotten sweeter (yes, in part due to the desserts mentioned above, but you know what I mean).

Great Things List

I just finished reading The Happiness Project, which left me with a giant list of goals I didn't know I wanted to have.  Anyway, this book reminded me of something Scott and I like to do, and that is rattle off a "Great Things List."  This list generally comes up on Sunday night when we're bummed about heading back to work after an awesome weekend.  You know, the commute for me is just killer, so listing great things helps me cope.  The great things can be things that will be happening soon or they can be things that are just always great and make life happy.  Here's mine for the moment.
