THREE

Three years ago today...

we went to Mass,

doodled together,

ate dessert,

 hung out with some friends,

dressed up like cartoon characters,



and our lives changed forever.


Three (soon to be four) out-of-state moves, a toddler, a Ph.D., a yearlong job search, and many, many small moments later, I can honestly say I love my husband more today than ever before.  And I have this inkling that tomorrow I'll love him even more.  Our wedding day was fun, but it can't compare to our marriage.  


Oh, and what do you know, I just shared five of my favorite wedding photos so I'm linking up with Hallie's Five Favorites at Moxie Wife.

    Congratulations!! You have a lovely family :).

    I'm passing on the Super Sweet Blogger Award to you. No pressure to "do" anything with it if you don't want to (or don't have time - moving is hard work!) Just for fun :). http://frankacademy.blogspot.com/2013/07/super-sweet-blogging-award.html

      We've we've moved every year in July around our anniversary. Our first anniversary was actually spent driving from IN to NC. I'm glad we can spend the day together today!

    Congrats! And our third anniversary was also spent getting ready for a move. I love David's white tux (you don't see that too often nowadays!).

      The groomsmen wore blue suits, but the ring bearer wore I matching white tux (technically, it's "ivory" like my dress) that was so darling! David had a friend that got married a year after us and really wanted to wear a white tux because he loved David's. His wife said "no" and said just because I let David get away with it, she was not! Um, actually it was my idea! I love it too!

    Happy Anniversary! Your wedding looked beautiful! I love photos like the first one where you are both "kneeling before God in the Eucharist." There's just something so beautiful about it. I hope you guys had a wonderful day celebrating your love!

      We have a few of those pictures in front of the raised Eucharist and you are right, they are so very special! We had a great day, thank you!

    Happy anniversary, Mandi! I have to say, my favorite of the photos is you doodling together. I love that he is looking at the camera and you are gazing at him. Beautiful!
