7 Years Together

we spent our anniversary at houston's, of course, and it was delicious as always. we exchanged cards and tyler brought home flowers. it was a fun night, just the two of us.

seven years has flown by and it truly has been a beautiful life. i was thinking about it recently, pondering about how fun this life has been and my heart just felt so happy. i am so blessed to have a partner that i enjoy spending time with. tyler truly is my best friend and i love him more than words can express.

life for us has been challenging at times, but we always manage to endure and become stronger. for that i am infinitely grateful. i love you tyler! thank you for making me so happy and for being my person. i can't imagine life without you by my side.

5 years

for our 5 year anniversary we were in the thick of packing up our place. but that didn't stop us from hitting up our favorite special occasion restaurant... houston's. we love that place. it was a great night. tyler got me my favorite roses, we exchanged cards and were supremely satisfied with our meal.
i cannot believe that we have already been married for 5 years! time really does fly. i am so excited for the future and what it will bring for us.
i love you tyler!

happy anniversary to us!

five years ago, on a rainy friday, i married the man i always knew i would.

for five years i have stared into those eyes.
for five years i have snuggled him.
for five years i have kissed those cheeks. 
for five years i have laughed with him, cried with him and loved him.

tyler my sweetheart,
 i know that the next five years will be wonderful.
 as long as you are by my side i will be happy.
 you are my man and i will never stop loving you.
 like ever.

today

my lovely sister kimberly made the A+T medallion and tyler bought me the pearl for christmas. 

i decided the pearl looked a little lonesome so i added kimberly's creation a few days ago. 

today is our four (4) year anniversary.

so much has happened over the last four years and i can't believe it has gone by  

so fast...

 we got sealed for all eternity in the newport beach temple. best. day. ever.

we honeymooned on a mexian riviera cruise.

we came home to our first apartment in fullerton.

we started school again and eventually we each transferred to cal state

we got new jobs

we bought a new car

we never moved but we went on a lot of trips... 

san diego, seattle, hawaii, utah, d.c., santa cruz, vegas

we acquired a sail boat

we saw U2 on the floor at the rosebowl & saw coldplay twice

we welcomed neices & nephews into our families

we rode our bikes. a lot. 

we watched a lot of friends & family get married

we lost weight (and probably gained a little too)

we had surgery (me-wisdom teeth, tyler-appendix)

we both graduated college

 we ran marathons, half marathons, triathlons & competed in the ragnar relay 

we made a lot of friends and lots of memories

there was a lot of other stuff too, but this could turn in to a very long list. 

mostly i feel like we learned how to love each other better. each day, month or year that goes by i feel like i get more and more attached to tyler and our life together. i get more and more excited about the future and all the things we will be able to do together. 

mostly i just love tyler a whole lot and i cannot imagine my life without him in it. 

happy four year anniversary tyler. i love you more than anything in the whole world. thank you for being my husband and taking care of me. i am so grateful to be your wifey.
