3rd Anniversary

A few weeks ago it was our third wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful day together. Shaun had the day off from the Brewers and I had the day off from work. We went to one of our favorite breakfast spots, the breakfast club. This was really special because for the past 3 months Shaun has been working in the mornings for 6 days out of the week. I forgot how much I miss spending time with him in the mornings.

After spending time at the pool, we got ready for date night. We went out to dinner at Tutti Santi, a wonderful Italian restaurant. They have the best homemade Ravioli! Although dinner and dessert was wonderful, the server was not so wonderful at taking pictures. Below is the fuzzy one that he took:

As weird as it may sound, we haven't ever watched our wedding video. Our families did some hand held videotaping and we had a videocamera set up in the back of the church during the ceremony. The one thing I regret from the wedding, is not having a professional videographer. At the time, it was just another expense that we decided to cut.

Watching the video three years later brought back all the old memories of how excited I was that day! I love the man I married more today than the day I said "I do". I know that everyone says this, but on the day that I married him I thought that it was the most that i could love him, but months and years after that day I feel more in love with him. I had no idea that this would happen!

We spent our anniversary reminiscing about our dating years and all of the great times we have had together. God has blessed our marriage so much and we are looking forward to the next year ahead!

Graduation

Ok, so I know it was a few months ago, but I thought I would post some pictures from my Pinning Ceremony.

It was a wonderful night and felt great to celebrate all of my hard work.

Spring Catch Up

Since graduation, I have been enjoying some time off. I guess you can't really call it time off because I have been studying for my boards, applying for nursing jobs and working a lot, but it has been nice not having to go to class.

I'll share some of my favorite pictures from Spring:

Since Shaun is still interning with the Milwaukee Brewers, when the Brewers came into town we got tickets to watch them play the D-backs.

Shaun, Jessica and I went to the Phil Wickham, Leeland, and Matt Maher concert. It was AMAZING.

This is my favorite spring picture of us with our nephew. He is such a little toddler now. Don't you just love his tie?

The next few pictures is from my trip to California to visit with family out there. My brother, Michael, just got his drivers permit and drove for a while. It is so funny to see him driving.

While out in California, we went out to dinner at a vietnamese restaurant. My family has a slight obsession with a dish called Pho (pronounced "Fa"). If you look at it in the picture, it doesn't look very appetizing, but trust me it is really good. The best way to describe it is like a beef noodle soup.

I will post more updates over the next week. Sorry for the long break. Life just seems to move too fast.

Taking a break

Sorry guys, I have been taking a break from blogging. Usually I stop blogging because I get super busy....this time it is not the case. I have been taking some time to myself and I will update you all when I feel like it.

:)

Sprinkles!

Today, my sisters and I went shopping at the mall. For weeks I have been asking Shaun to take me to a cupcake shop that is close to the mall. Because Shaun isn't a huge cupcake fan, it was hard to convince him to go. Well today my sisters and I decided to go. Let me tell you Sprinkles has some delish cupcakes! I had a red velvet cupcake. Yum!

Easter Sunday

I spent Easter Sunday with my family. We went to church in the morning and then went to back to their house for the rest of the day. Because Shaun is still working spring training with the Milwaukee Brewers, he had to spend the morning at the ballpark and was able to meet up with the family later. We had an easter dinner with all of the family, searched for eggs, and played a board game.

Here are pictures from the egg hunt:

We had a wonderful Easter as always. It is great to take the time to remember Christ's death on the cross and resurrection. Sometimes we get wrapped up in everyday life and forget to remember the sacrifice that was made for us. I am so grateful to be a daughter of Christ.

The Nephew

The nephew is 19 months old now and I'm pretty sure Shaun and I have the cutest nephew! We spent the day with the Palmer family today for our Easter brunch. He was so precious all day today! He loved finding the Easter eggs and loved playing with uncle Shaun.
He calls us "nay nay" and "shaw". It is so much fun having him around to play with and watch him grow!



This is a picture of him after church at dinner (we went to a sat. night service). Shaun was playing a game with his goldfish. Notice his super cute tie!
