Anniversary Celebrations

A couple days ago, the hubs and I celebrated our three year anniversary. He went to work as usual, and I didn’t have a clue that he actually had asked his boss to take the second half of the day off. He arrived home for “lunch” as usual, but with a huge bouquet in his hands and the good news that we had the rest of the day to ourselves. Hooray! So we first headed out to Pastini’s on 23rd in Portland for a late lunch. Delicious. Don’t know why we don’t go to that place more often. That was followed by ice cream from Salt & Straw, some flower smelling, and shopping for gifts. Afterwards, we headed on up to Pittock Mansion to rest our feet. Pittock was where we got engaged nearly four years ago. Yep, we certainly did some reminiscing. Then we ended up taking a short nap on the bench overlooking Portland. What a beautiful day it was.

Three Years With My Love

Filed Under : Personal

Three years ago today, I married my best friend. It’s incredible how fast time flies. I’m so grateful that God gave me my Jimmy and that these past three years together have felt like a long honeymoon. I think that’s the way it should be. I put up proposal + wedding photos last year for our anniversary, so if you’re curious to see more photos than the one I have above, you can check them out here.

Whites can certainly stand on their own; but they look even better with touches of gold and yellow…
