Todd and I celebrated our third anniversary just yesterday (June 10th)! This is our third year married, but we have been together a total of 8 years!
We always try to do something fun and different (usually involving a trip) for our anniversary. This year we went to Waco, Texas for the day, and you better bet I will be sharing all about that trip here soon! However, today I wanted to take a second and just review our third year of marriage. I’ve done a post like this every year, so it’s become a tradition. It seriously is one of my favorite posts to look back on too because life seriously flies by so quickly!
Things We Did: Passion conference, rode scooters, sang in Constitutional Hall, bought a house, got a dog, went to the Magnolia Silos, made lots of new friends, weddings…lots more weddings, went to Wet & Wild, I switched jobs, Went to Busch Gardens, went on our first cruise, paid off college debt, swam in a cenote, went rock climbing, volunteered for the Lecrae/Unshamed tour, Star City Christmas, went to the Houston Zoo, bought lots of new shoes, saw Chichen Itza, visited friends in Asheville, made our house a lot more oily, saw Avengers: Endgame (and waited in line for quite awhile), went to the Smithsonian Zoo, wore matching Christmas P.J.’s, lounged on a beach in Cozumel, decorated our new home, visited Noccalula Falls, bought lots of plants, went to Gatlinburg at Christmastime, bought a record player…and a lot of records, had a few snow days, Ober Gatlinburg, ice skated, gained a nephew, celebrated Dr. Pepper day, participated in a Fall festival for a local school, dressed up like a Christmas Tree, Todd caught the biggest fish ever, walked in the Drumstick Dash, visited with Camels, switched my blog over, listened to a lot of podcasts, rode boats at Wakefest, went to Student Camp in Panama City, Florida, got slimed & poofed at KidsBlitz, Todd drove a boat, ate way too many sweets, toured Greensboro, NC, played a lot of Catan, learned all the words to Sunflower, got the full Magnolia experience, fed a giraffe, went to Ikea, bought a kiddie pool for ourselves & celebrated our 25th Birthdays!
