Three Years

Yesterday we celebrated three years of marriage! 

It seems like each wedding anniversary has found our lives different and in a new phase. Most notably this year, we have a new family member, Avie P. I love our anniversary because it's about us. And honestly we don't have much time to focus on "us" these days, so yesterday was really enjoyable. As a surprise for Kyle, I bought this frame from an adorable retired couple at the farmers market to frame one of our wedding pictures.  They make these frames themselves and I think they are just beautiful. I also am having something made for us that I will share once it's completed. Stay tuned for that...

I was pleasantly surprised to receive this beautiful bouquet yesterday when I was trying to get the kids and myself ready for the evening. The kids were just as excited as me, which was fun.

My mom watched all three kids for us so we could enjoy the evening together. I've had a gift certificate from my parents and Ashley to The Art Bash Studio for almost a year, so we decided to give it a try. We were rushed for time and we had to quickly grab dinner at Panera which was slightly disappointing, but still delicious.  The art thing ended up being a blast! I would recommend it to anyone! A really nice girl walked us through each step of the painting, helping and giving tips along the way. I seriously want to start painting more after this experience! 

We drank sangria, ate popcorn and just forgot about the outside world for 2.5 hours and painted. It was so fun to be creative and spend time together doing something we've never done before. I hope we can make it back again someday. I love comparing our two paintings because I feel like you can see the differences in our personalities when comparing the differences. We balance each other out-- and you can totally see that!! 

It's been an amazing three years and I love you, Kyle!
