Three Wonderful Years

Sunday, August 17, 1pm.  Andrew arrived at my parent’s home after a three hour drive from Des Moines. We played games with my family, cooked out for dinner, went on a walk, and put Emily to bed.

Monday, August 18, 7:40am.  Andrew and I went on a breakfast date.  Just the two of us.  Without Emily.  This was the first time we’ve left her with someone (I don’t think we are super over-protective parents; the opportunity just hasn’t come up before now. Thanks Mom!).  We thought it was fitting to be alone to celebrate our third anniversary.

We got a half dozen bagels from Panera and sampled all the different options.

Monday, August 18, 8:40am. Andrew dropped me off back and my parent’s home and he went back to Des Moines for the week.

Wednesday, August 20. Our actual anniversary.  I am so grateful for Andrew.  We have had a very full, very fast three years and it has been absolutely perfect for us.  We’ve had our share of joys, challenges, trials, trips, graduations, moves, jobs, and blessings.  We’ve learned a lot, changed a lot, and grown a lot.  We still have a long way to go, and I’m thrilled spend eternity with my best friend, one adventure at a time.
