April 28, 2006

This is what I was greeted with when I came home from work today....
Example

I thought Andrew was trying to cheer me up from a crappy day.... turns out he was...but not how I expected.
Example

He was on one knee and I said yes... here's the bling that sealed the deal! =) Andrew had it designed just for me...... ("one of a kind, like my girl" he says....) =)
Example

Example
To top it all off Bob and Steph graciously organized a last minute celebration that was totally awesome! All my favorite foods were there.... cheese burgers, macaroni salad, cheetos, mac & cheese and shirley temples!!! Steph was up until 2 AM making the most incredible cake!! It was fabulous and hopefully she won't have to stay up that late to make our wedding cake! Thanks Bob and Steph and thanks to all our friends who came to celebrate with us. It was truly special to have you all there!!

Happy Belated Anniversary!

Example

Andrew and I don't really have an "Anniversay" per say... We've never really decided on a specific day, so instead the entire month of March seems to become our anniversary. In his usual fine form Andrew got me a gift certificate to a spa... so I could get a massage after my mid-terms. =) AND, he even let me go out with a friend that night to see KT Tunstall (who rocks! you should all check her out!).

I suppose my point is that I didn't really recognize our special month for Andrew. I was too busy with school and my new job and getting a massage and hanging with my friends... (goodness I am an awful girlfriend.... )

So I just thought I would take the time to say Happy Anniversay Andrew. It has been 3 years and each year keeps getting better. I can't wait to see what this year brings us. =) hugs and kisses! =+ I love you very much.


P.S. I'd like to give a quick shot out to my friend Alex. (check out her blog, The Infertile Gourmet) She is in South Africa and has just had two healthy little fertilized eggs placed in her belly. Please send her (and her husband David) lots and LOTS of blessings so we can be sure that these two little eggs will keeping growing into two healthy little babies. Thanks!
