Happy Anniversary to US!!!! ; )



Today we are celebrating 14 years of marriage and life is so very good! I have to get mushy in this post and just say how very much I love my husband and how good God is with putting us together! : ) They say that you can become more and more like your spouse, even look like them, after so many years....can't say that we look alike exactly....I'll let you know when I begin to get Jason's receeding hairline...heehee! But I do believe that we have become more alike and I don't really think that is in our personalities so much (although I think we work together nicely in that respect) but I think because of our growing love and faith in Christ, we have become over the past few years, much more alike in our desires and wants and that is a wonderful thing! I find that we are both much quicker to enjoy the simple things in life, get over the little "frustrations" of the craziness of daily life, try and keep things in perspective and when all else fails, we both tend to be getting better at just laughing at it and moving on! ; ) I praise God for my spouse and thank Him for each and every day that I get to enjoy spending with Jason! Happy Anniversary to us....here's to many many more wonderful years together sweetie!

A surprise getaway from my sweet husband!


Jason surprised me with an early anniversary gift this past weekend! We will celebrate 14 wonderful years together on March 23rd so in honor of that, he had his parents come up and watch the girls while we were able to head to the northside of Indianapolis for a night away. What a wonderful surprise for us! He had the whole thing planned out....every little detail to make this an awesome weekend. First, we headed to Keystone at the Crossing to eat dinner at Maggiano's....YUM-O! Then, we headed to the Indianapolis Civic Theater to see the musical "Carousel", loved that and was shocked how cultured Jason has become in taking in the arts with his wifey! ; ) After the show, we checked into the Marriot back up at Keystone at the Crossing. And the surprises weren't over yet.....when we got into our room, he had arranged for chocolate covered strawberries and champagne to be waiting on us! WOWWWWWW!!!! The next day, we enjoyed a wonderful brunch at La Peep (one of my favorite places to eat, from back in my "working downtown" days) and then we went shopping, where I was able to pick out two new pairs of pants! I shared with Jason on our way home that honestly, that was one of the best weekends of my life....sounds funny compared to our wedding, births of our kiddos (of course all of those days rank up there!) but this was just so awesome to have him plan all of this for us and I think w/ having a crazy busy life with the kids, etc..., I appreciate so much the times we get to spend together away like that.....absolutely wonderful! : )
