2 Year Anniversary

Mark and I celebrated 2 years of marriage yesterday. We actually celebrated all weekend. Friday night we went to Cullman and ate at one of our favorite places there, Sweet Peppers. We then went to the movies and saw Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. It was good. Saturday we spent the day in Huntsville. We met my friend Laura for lunch who is home visiting from China. We had a good visit and then Mark and I set off to find a rocking chair for our nursery. (This was our anniversary gift to each other.) We went to a few furniture stores and ended up at Babies R Us to make a decision about the chair we originally picked out. After reading some not so good reviews and sitting in it again we decided that maybe we should keep looking. We then went down the street to La-Z-Boy. Believe it or not we found what we wanted there. We ended up getting a La-Z-Boy recliner.



We love it and think it will be perfect for rocking lots and even sleeping if the baby is sick or just needs Mommy or Daddy. It actually ended up being on sale which made it cheaper than the chair and ottoman we had picked out at Babies R Us. (We're all about saving some money!)

We had planned on staying and eating dinner in Huntsville but after all the running around we were both tired and not ready for dinner so we headed back to Hartselle. We got our new chair in and then went to Alfonso's for dinner. Sunday we had Super Sunday at church and had an early afternoon service so we went and celebrated our anniversary and Mark's brother's birthday at Red Lobster that evening. We got Visa gift cards to go towards a video camera to capture all the special baby moments and a Cracker Barrel gift card and goodies (pancake mix, apple butter, and a candle). We had a good evening with the Reynolds. Yesterday (our actual anniversary) was pretty uneventful. Mark had to work for a few hours so I pampered myself and got a haircut and then we went to the new O'Bryans in Hartselle for dinner. We ended our evening at the ballpark watching our church team play softball.

We have had a wonderful 2 years together and are hoping for 60+ more. God definitely had a hand in us finding each other and I am thankful for that! Mark is an amazing husband and I am sure he is going to be an awesome daddy to our little Marshall in just a few short months!
