5th Anniversary

5 years ago today I married the most perfect man for me. He's my EVERYTHING and I am so blessed that he's mine for eternity! It's all gone by so quickly, but that's because we've been so busy! It's amazing how much life can change in 5 years!





To start out the big day I went to work...yaaaay. ha

Then I went on a nice 5 mile walk (I just now realized how perfect a 5 mile walk on your 5th Anniversary is)!


I then went home, relaxed for a bit, and got myself cleaned up.

When Zack got home he was submitted to another photo shoot. I'm kind of obsessive about taking as many photos as possible during this amazing and special time in our lives, and Z is usually a good sport about it. :) 26 Weeks today!





Zack got me 2 dozen roses!!! They are gorgeous! And in case you didn't know, my middle name is Rose. ;)






Kitty!


This is totally candid, and I am in love with it!


The roses are happily showing off their beauty on our dining table <3


For dinner we went out to eat at an Italian restaurant called Paesanos 1604.
It was so fancy that I only understood approximately two items on the menu (go ahead, laugh).
Zack helped me pick out an outfit, and I'm so glad he did! I LOVE my bump in this dress!


Zack had a fancy pizza, and I had a four cheese ravioli. I love Italian, and I LOVE cheese, so Ravioli is my go-to dish.


We had already opened our gifts Sunday evening, but of course Zack had to sneak one into dinner! He always outshines me when it comes to special occasions. Along with this amazing smelling candle (which goes perfectly with our living room theme) came the most adorable card that I will probably keep forever because I'm ridiculous. :D


Then we came home and had chocolate cake in bed! It was the perfect day!

Reunited

Zack and I have been super busy lately. We have basically only seen each other enough to grumble at each other before bed for about a month now. It's been tough, but we know it's temporary!

Last night when I rolled in around 10, Zack told me he had Friday off. I was so jelly! The morning came and I had to get up and go to work while Z slept in. I hopped in the car, it was dark, the lightening and thunder were doing their thing, the rain was pouring, aaand an hour later I got to work...10 miles away. Easily the worst traffic I've ever seen here in SA. When I finally got to work I was both relieved and angry at the same time. I wanted to be home in bed! That sounded much more appealing! 

As if my morning could get any better, around 10 I decided to eat and was suddenly overtaken with the need to relieve myself. So I did what any grown up would do and pooped at work. And then my constipated pregnant poop clogged the toilet. I plunged and plunged, and carefully flushed and got nowhere. After about 4 flushes and lots of plunging I snuck out of the bathroom and whispered "Emily!" (Emily is my super awesome coworker) No response. So I try again louder, and then louder. Denise (the lead office assistant) hollers "she's outside!" Ugh! Emily! How what and why!? Of all the moments to not be at her desk it had to be THIS moment. So then I'm all "Denise! .... Somebody! Anybody?" So In walks Emily and Denise and I explain that I am a disgusting human being who has clogged the toilet at work. Go me! After Denise worked her magic I was just dying at how hilarious it all was and within 5 minutes everyone knew because I couldn't keep it to myself. I had caused quite the commotion. Haha! 

When I finished up a work I headed home and Zack was up and ready to get out of the apartment, yay! We went on a lunch date to Ajuua. So good! Then we went to order glass for the dining table (my birthday present :D). After that we stopped by the locksmith to get some odds and ends and decided today was the perfect day to take care of getting plates for the car. Off to the tax assessment man (ya, Texas is WEIRD)! New plates, check! This meant we needed to make a stop at the auto part store. Plates on car, check! 
All that work called for snow cones! Buuut we got side tracked at Rainbow Gardens. It's only the best place EVER! So after falling in love with everything we bought a little butterfly plant and continued on our journey for snow cones.
Bahama Bucks is the only way to do snow cones, so I ordered my princess cone and we were on our way back home.

Today was glorious and EXACTLY what we needed! It felt like reuniting with your best friend and going on silly in town adventures! 

Now we're home, we've rubbed each other's feet, cleaned the balcony, planted the plant, received a couple packages, and now I'm in bed basically dying. Was it my enchiladas? More poop? Baby using my innerds as a punching bag? Not sure...but while I sit here feeling sorry for myself and dreaming of the walk I was going to take in the gorgeous evening sun (I don't know where the rain went, ask the weather man), I'm overcome with love for my husband and grateful for each day we are given to spend together. I am so excited for the big changes that are happening and hope when things get rough I remember wonderful, crazy days like today. 

Hopefully I perk up quickly, I've got garage saling of epic proportions to do tomorrow!

25 Weeks!

25 Weeks already!!! I can't believe it! We went down to Somerset TX to see the wildflowers and take some pictures to celebrate! (Glucose test tomorrow, wish me luck!)
