Four !!!!



No we are not playing golf but it is our fourth wedding anniversary. And in honor of it I decided to rewind a bit because I didn't blog through the first three. I also keep a yearly planner and when something fun goes on in my life, I make a keepsake in it. Through this post you will see the last four years in planner notes too.


Year one, was a big one for us. We hadn't bought our home yet, so we still had money to spend/spoil ourselves with and we went back to where we were married. http://longisland.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/gallery/photos.jsp?hotelId=2726&start=1 (this was our ballroom, sigh... http://longisland.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/gallery/photos.jsp?hotelId=2726&start=28 ) We had dinner at The Carriage House in Babylon first :
and then off to the hotel for a romantic night. We bought each other great gifts. First year traditional gift is paper and modern is clocks. I gave Keith the Gift of the Magi book and money for a tattoo. He gave me the modern version of the first year anniversary gifts, a cuckoo clock. We had a blast.


Year two was cotton. No exchange this year because we had just purhcased our home 6 months before and we decided to stay low key. This was the year that Michael Jackson passed and his new movie was just released. Being fans of MJ from when we were little, it made sense to see the movie and it happened to come out the week of our anniversary, so why not? We went to Chili's and took advantage of the two for $20.00 and then to the movies.



Year three was crystal. We stayed in, I made Keith dinner and exchanged gifts. I once again gave Keith money for a tattoo. Yes he has many ! He bought me this beautiful necklace from Swarovski.

I wore cameos the day of our wedding. This beautiful necklace was reminiscent of that day.

Here is Keith's, at the time, very unfinished tattoo.

And our dinner. Here is a close up of the toasting flutes that we used at our wedding. Also Swarovski, which didn't dawn on me to now, they were very fitting for year three as well.


And yes year four. The fourth year is flowers.

We are staying low key again. Keith is making me dinner and I have a little surprise for him.

Flowers right?

Noah's dedication

A month later and I've finally gotten around to posting about this amazing day. Originally Mr. B and I wanted to have the dedication at home, but we opted to have it in a restaurant instead. Less clean up, less set up and less stress ! We went to one place and fell in love with it. We booked it on the spot. Here is what it looks like inside, if you know me in real life, you know this is 100% my style. I looked online for a while to find the right invite. Most websites are pre printed invites that all said "Baptism or Christening".... it was hard to find one that actually said or allowed me to write dedication. I went with the good old staple, Vistaprint. I also designed labels there as well. Below you can see both. The cake was something I wasn't 100% sold on since we really didn't need one because there was a dessert buffet. But I figured for picture use, it would be good.... hindsight, I have one picture of it !!! Waste of money, although the cake was del
