We celebrated our 2 year anniversary on Monday! It is amazing how time flies when you are having fun :) We've both learned a lot these last two years, both in life and in each other. During our first year of marriage we both agreed that it was a year of learning each others expectations. This year we both feel that it has been a year of balance. We have balanced, school, work, finances, wants/needs, and time with each other. In all...I think we did pretty dang good! :)
We were fortunate enough to tag an extra day on our vacation with the family (at the beach) and stay at one of our favorite hotel/pub chains (McMenamins) on our way back. There was a lodge called the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove that we stayed at. Even though it was completely booked and our room was near the bar, and it was 100 degrees with no A/C and there were four weddings going on (pretty much at the same time) on the premises...we had a MARVELOUS time! We walked around and got dinner and then during the evening we enjoyed drinks and desert listening to a blue grass band. On Monday (our actual anniversary) we both worked during the day and then I made Johnny BBQ spare ribs for dinner. Ribs was the first meal I ever made Johnny when we were dating. Johnny brought me home flowers, a hand made card, and four Almond Joy candy bars hidden in the bouquet :)
