3 years

It's been three years since Lewis and I tied the knot and sealed (literally 😉) the deal on our marriage. We have loved the way we've been able to grow and learn together. There have been happy, sad, hard, stressful, exciting, frustrating, and joyous times throughout our life together so far. But we have loved it all. At least we're able to go through all those times together.

In the last three years, we've:

- each completed our undergraduate degree

- moved twice (once to another place in Provo and now to Columbus)

- traveled to Europe, the Bahamas, Texas, Idaho, California, Chicago, Vegas, St. George, Wyoming, and Hawaii

- watched (almost too) many episodes of castle, wipeout, chopped, and cupcake wars

- gone through 3 graduate school program interviews. Actually only Lewis did the interviews but I was there in spirit

- applied for new jobs

- had a baby!!

We look forward to the ways our life will change again in the next few years. Hopefully all still good and happy ways!

To celebrate our love (getting mushy here), we were able to go out on a 5 hour date, thanks to my mom who drove all the way from Michigan to watch baby Lena. We went to the state fair in Columbus where we won an animal for Lena.

We "hiked" to a hidden waterfall park only a few minutes from our house.

After that, we headed to dinner at a steakhouse and then a little stroll through the streets of downtown Dublin with a dessert stop at jeni's ice cream. We were able to talk about how our lives have changed since we got married and how we hope we'll continue to change and get better.

To end the night, we came home and watched a few episodes of castle (duh!) with my mom before we all went to sleep.

Overall I'd say it was a fun day, to celebrate a fun 3 years!

I love my perfect (for me) husband. Can't wait to grow old together.
