4 Years and Still Going Strong!!!

I can't believe I haven't posted about our anniversary!!!

November 19, 2006 I said "I do" to my amazing husband!  Little did I know the amazing things that God had in store for our lives.  Here we are 4 years later with 2 amazing daughters, a house, jobs that we love, family we love, an amazing Life Group, and so many other blessings!

2 years ago Johnny surprised me with a fun anniversary date day!  He got me the day off work, and we took Joey to Holli's house.  The rest of the day was spent eating out, taking a nap and going to the movies!  From that year on we have made this day a tradition but now it's my job to get my own day off :]

So this year we celebrated 4 years!  This past year has been great as far as I can remember and our shining moment was when we had Sammy!!!  She's so stinkin' cute and we are so blessed to have her {and her sister :]}.  The day started by us taking the girls to Holli's in our jammies....this has also become tradition, and we stay in our jammies all day long!!!  After that we went to Bill Smith's Cafe!  Not sure where that is?  Just drive East on 380 from 75 till you see this sign on the left....

and there you are!  This place is so yummy.  They specialize in breakfast and it is the oldest restaurant in McKinney!  5 decades of Smith's have run this cafe, and we love it!  We go every year and sit in the same booth...I'm pretty sure we have had the same waitress with the same smoker's cough each year too :]  We pull out all the stops and get whatever we want and we don't even worry about the left overs!  Here's the spread from this year.....

From there ran to Target for a kid free shopping trip which is oh so fun!!! Then we came home and put in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince....not in the living room where we usually watch a movie, but in our bedroom where it's nice and comfy!  We both dosed in and out during the movie and practically slept through lunch :] Since it was so late when we woke up, we just went to Taco Bueno and grabbed lunch.  We came home and put HP on again to watch what we missed during nap time.  Later that day we went and picked up the girls!  

It was a super fun day and a great tradition that Johnny and I plan on sticking too forever!  It's so much fun just to take a day and celebrate the union God has blessed us with!  I just love Johnny so much and am so grateful to God that he picked Johnny for me!!!!  Here's to many more years to come!!

3 Years in the Making :)

So for those of you who follow me on twitter or check my facebook status' religiously, this will be semi old news, but for the vast majority who don't keep up with those silly things, here goes :)

November 19th Johnny and I celebrated our 3 year Aniversary.  Just a little back story...Last year Johnny suprised me with a day off from work for our 2nd Anni...he planed the whole thing, got me subs and everything.  We had a great day and decided to continue the tradition this year with a twist!  The twist being that it was no longer a suprise and I was responsible for getting the day off and finding my own subs at work :)  It all worked out and here's how the day went...

We woke up around 8:30 (thank you Joey for sleeping in :) and got Joey ready for Miss Holli's house.  Johnny and I stayed in our flannel pants and long sleeved shirts and slip on shoes all day :)  We took Jos to Holli's and hung out there for a bit, then we left and had yummy breakfast at Bill Smith's Cafe!  This place is so delicious :)  Johnny got a Taco Omlet and I got some pancakes, BACON (which I have been super craving for some reason...ehem Stout Seed # 2), and hash browns!  I finished the bacon, and most of the other 2 things!  Yummo!

Then we went home and just hung out on the couch and got caught up!  It was fun to have nothing to do...no pressure to be anywhere, or a time limit on just being because nap time was almost over...it was nice!  We decided to play the Wii :)  Johnny pretty much beat me at everything, but we had a blast!  Here's Johnny bowling...check out that form :)

After some bowling, tennis, golf and more, we headed to the movie theatre to see Couple's Retreat.

We had heard awful things, but we love Vince Vaughn and decided to go for it.  With popcorn in hand, we walked into a completely empty theatre :)  We laughed, and talked throughout the movie because we could...one of the perks of having an empty movie theatre!  Anyway, despite the reviews, we liked the movie a lot!  If you like Vince Vaughn, you too will like it!

After the movie we went to pick up Joey, I went to choir rehearsal, then came home to eat some dinner.

 After dinner we went to Target to shop for our Christmas Angel from church.  We were able to get him some really good stuff, and I am excited to know that he will get to open some fun things for Christmas!

Last but not least, we put Jo to sleep and watched Transformers 2 to end the evening. It was good, and so was the day!  I'm so glad we started this tradition last year and can't wait to keep it going for may years to come!
