Todd and I celebrated our second anniversary on Sunday (June 10th)! It’s so crazy because we’ve been together 7 years, but only married two, so it feels like we’ve been married longer, but then at the same time, it feels like it was just yesterday that we got married.
We are trying to take a small trip every year on our anniversary, and this year we went beach camping, I will share more about our trip in the next few days, but today I wanted to take a second and just review our second year of marriage. I did a similar post like this last year, and I hope to also continue this tradition year after year.
Things We Did: Went to so many weddings, Worship Life conference, Blue Ridge Holiness camp, toured Washington D.C. in one day, sent Christmas cards, switched jobs (both of us!), saw Hillsong United, played blacklight dodgeball, created a Jurassic park themed trunk or treat, explored Black Dog Salvage, drove a boat (well you did, I rode), visited Iowa and made new friends, went beach camping on an island, explored Gatlinburg by Sky Lift, celebrated our 24th birthdays, explored Williamsburg by riding bikes around town, made our own Yankee candle, rode in a carriage, outlet shopped, played a lot of One Night Ultimate Werewolf, hiked to the Liberty Monogram, learned our enneagram number, listen to podcasts…a lot, learned all the words to Evermore, Finally tasted our wedding cake, swam at Splash Valley, got our first Asian massages, ate at food trucks, played crochet, watched a ton of sports, used Movie Pass to the fullest, walked in the Drumstick Dash, learned how to make custard, went to our first Roanoke Hockey game, Christmas caroled, tried boba, appeared on daytime television (well, you did, I watched!)…
