2 YEARS


We had a great little celebration of two years this past weekend. It actually started a few weekends ago. When we were trying to decide what to do we thought it would be fun to go to D.C. and see the Cherry Blossoms. We headed down to D.C. Friday night, got some good Cafe Rio (YUM) and went to Buy Buy Baby where we purchased our stroller, car seat, and I got a cute diaper bag. It was really fun. We stayed at a Springfield Suites. I don't know what it is about hotels but they are fun. We woke up and had a good breakfast then headed to the D.C. temple to do a session. After we were finished we drove down to D.C. without a plan. Unfortunately there were a million other people and we got caught in crazy traffic and had not a clue what to do. Fortunately the traffic took us all the way around the National Mall and we got to see all the Cherry Blossoms. We were driving the path everyone else was walking so we got to see the whole thing from the air conditioned car without making our way through hoards of people. It was pretty but there were lots of people. We decided it was best to just head to Smashburger when we got out of the traffic, get some dinner and head home. It was such a fun and relaxing weekend, just the break the doctor ordered.

Our real anniversary weekend started with a surprise flower delivery for me. They were oh so gorgeous spring flowers and still look beautiful on our bookshelf.


On Saturday night we went out to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. It was delicious and since we had a gift card we kind of went all out with appetizers and dessert. After we got home we watched Monsters University. It was actually really cute and clever, much better than I anticipated.


On our anniversary we sent our balloons to heaven which has become a yearly tradition for us. Daniel and I write our wishes on balloons and go to a special location to send them off. This year we went to Schenley Park to a cool place that overlooks the city. It was really beautiful. We both wrote our wishes for the year. My wish was that we would have a healthy baby and become good parents.

Daniels wish was that he would be able to find fulfilling work that could support our family. We got out of the car and started to walk out to let them off. When we had almost reached our location all the sudden Daniels balloon was off. I guess it wasn't tied to the ribbon very well. It was pretty funny. I let mine off moments later and we watched our wishes float into the distance until you couldn't see them anymore. It is a wonderful tradition that I hope we can do forever.


I love Daniel and have loved the last two years. I look forward to this next year and all the adventures we will have.
