October Month-a-versary (34 months)


Our month-a-versary this month was awesome. It was just what we needed. As of October 19th we have been married 34 months and they have been wonderful. But lately we have both been super busy and haven't had much time for each other. I'm sure most people are like, "It just feels that way." But I am dead serious when I say we have barely seen each other. I have started substitute teaching so between that and still workings at Chili's, which I do both in one day a couple times a week, and planning our church's trunk or treat extravaganza for Halloween, I am exhausted all the time. I am in bed by 9:30, if not earlier most nights (unless I'm waiting tables), and Bobby is at school all day and then goes to bed super late. We even get up at different times since I normally have to be at the schools before 8 am. We literally have really only seen each other at dinner times the past few weeks and on Sundays. 

Because of all the stuff above, this month-a-versary became special to me. Bobby didn't even think we were going to do anything this month, but after church this morning I surprised him with an us day. We went and ate at our favorite sandwich shop and just sat and talked to catch up with each others lives. After that we had some time to kill before we went to a movie and I needed some new flats for substituting so we went shopping. This took almost no time; as soon as I went in I found some cute ones and they surprisingly had my size. We were in and out in 10 minutes.

Because we still had so much time to kill, we decided to go to Home Depot so Bobby could look for something that he needed. We didn't find it, but I had a wonderful time looking at the hard wood floors and granite counter top options. I am currently obsessed in designing our future home that won't come into being for probably another 10 years. On the bright side I found the perfect 3rd anniversary gift for him that I will have to go back and get!

After Home Depot we still had about an hour to kill so we went to Barnes & Nobles and looked around. I found some awesome cook books and craft books that I have to get at some point!

Finally, it was time for our movie. We went and saw Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2, it was super cute and funny. My favorite part though was anything with Barry the Strawberry in it!

It was wonderful day, even if we did have to make a small grocery shopping detour. Happy 34 months babe, I love you!

I'm Related To A Queen!

This past Friday was homecoming for my high school alma mater, which also happens to be the place one of my younger sisters is a senior at. She was nominated for homecoming court and won queen! 

Some of the picture are a little blurry but I am so excited for her!
