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?

Lipstick messages

Yesterday was my birthday. Nothing fabulous. At this point of my age, it's just another year older. Nothing monumental, not a new decade, nothing to go crazy about.... But it got me thinking about when my sisters and I were younger, (and anyone else who may have lived here from time to time) my mom would write lipstick messages on our bathroom mirror. Most of the times it would say "Happy Birthday" to us. And if I was having a terrible week , it would be something encouraging like "I love you, have a great day." Well, I definitely miss my lipstick messages. I wish when they were written, we had Facebook or Instagram. What a cool thing to have captured. Here is a picture of what one may have looked like, not ours, but similar.

My pregnancy and birth story

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
