Two years ago today Jay & I got married...wow has the time flown by! It was a beautiful day two years ago...with just a little rain shower while we were in the church taking pictures...with the clouds breaking up and the sun shining the rest of the day and evening...Today, the temperature got to around 70 degrees and the horrible wind we have had so frequently lately gave us all a break today, with barely a breeze blowing...
Some things have changed quite a bit from then and some things are still the same (meaning, we still live in our "camper" as my Grandma Gerhardt calls our trailer)...
What's happened over the last two years...
We went from having one beagle - the one and only Jerz (a.k.a. "Big Mama")....
To having TWO beagles - with the addition of our little Bailey (a.k.a. "Little Bails"/"Little Squirt"/"Little Tank") to our family in October 2006...
We began paying our lot in December 2006....
We went on our honeymoon in Jamaica in January 2007...and LOVED it...
I passed the ND Bar Exam in February 2007..and was sworn in at the ND Supreme Court in May 2007...
Jay turned 30 and we had a great time celebrating it out at Lake Tschida with Jay's family and some friends...
We paid off our lot by January 1 of this year...
And began the process of getting our future home built in January as well...
I turned 30 in February and celebrated with family and friends at the bowling alley...
And in between all of that we have spent many other good times with family and friends and each other over the last couple of years...holidays, birthday parties, road races, softball games and tournaments, some mini vacations, some evenings just hanging out, grilling and playing lawn games, or watching games or movies, going to weddings, going to sporting events...and doing many other things...Through all of that, some of our favorite times are the evenings we spend "laying low" and just watching shows we have DVR'd or watching movies together, ordering pizza and just vegging out. (Which we are doing tonight, coincidentally).
It's been a good two years...not to say there haven't been ups and downs...some challenges along the way. But I wouldn't trade a second of it for anything!
We know that the years we have ahead of us together will bring many more great things...and some more challenges...but while we do look forward we also can look at each other in the present and know that our life together is good...and that we are very blessed!
Two years down...and, God willing - many, many more to go!
Have a great week everyone!
PS - Thanks to Payton & Sydney for taking us out on their boat on Sunday!
