Three Years

Today is our third wedding anniversary! It's hard to believe the time has gone by that quickly. You can read more about our wedding on this post that I wrote last year. I am so thankful for my hard-working, loving husband.

This year, we weren't able to have a nice dinner or anything on our anniversary because Ryan is teaching a class this evening, and I'm babysitting for a few hours. We'll probably go out for dinner this weekend when we have a little more time.

This afternoon, I came home from the gym and assumed Ryan was still in class. But a few minutes later, he came home with the most gorgeous bouquet of exotic, tropical flowers, and several special treats for me. I was completely surprised!


He also bought me a beautiful bracelet with carved wooden beads made here in Grenada. . .


And lots of my favorite types of chocolate! Oreos, Cadbury Creme Eggs, and the best ice cream bars in the world - Magnum Bars. My dad and I ate quite a few of them in Europe, but I haven't seen them since then. I don't know if they have them in the US by now. I saw them here at the grocery store a few weeks ago and introduced Ryan to them.


And finally, he picked up a few household supplies that he knew I needed, like a lightbulb and a new can opener. Maybe those are a little less romantic than chocolate and flowers, but they are just as sweet, and I appreciate the fact that he took notice of those things and thought to get them for me on his own. Could I be any more spoiled?

Married life just keeps getting better and better, and I couldn't ask for a more wonderful guy with whom to share the rest of my life.
