A Pink & Purple Day

I know today is traditionally a day for celebrating all things green, but, thanks to Google Photo Assistant, I was reminded that 4 years today, the Best Husband Ever and I were doing a little celebrating of our own, in slightly different colors.

We were celebrating being young and in love...

...and being together—something we didn't get much of during 18 months of courtship and engagement. (We wouldn't see each other again after these pictures until just days before our wedding 6 weeks later.)

 We were celebrating dreams, and hopes, and plans.

And while the rest of the world was all in green, I'm afraid the only colors we had around were these:

You can pinch me retroactively if you like; I won't mind. I need it, because sometimes I think I'm still dreaming. :)

So this is love *hm-hm-hm-hm*,

Giving Thanks

Around Thanksgiving, I enjoy watching my news feeds fill up with people's lists of things for which they are thankful. From family and friends to the blessings, great and small, that we have in our lives, I appreciate and echo the grateful sentiments of my friends and loved ones.

But on Thanksgiving Day, there is one thing in particular for which I am most thankful.

It's this guy:

Happy 3rd anniversary, my baby. I'm so thankful (thank You, thank You, thank You Lord!!) that I met you three years ago today.

Best Thanksgiving...of my life!!! ;)
