Happy 3 Years!

Happy 3rd Anniversary! It seems like just yesterday we were on the beach in Cabo reminiscing about "yesterday", our wedding day, one of the best days of our life. Boy, does time fly!

What an amazing three years it has been - our marriage has grown stronger year after year and we cannot wait to see what the future holds for us as a couple and one day, a family (one day). We are very, very blessed.

Although Josh and I were apart on our actual anniversary, he sent me flowers at work and made me feel very special and loved. We planned to celebrate during our vacation which was just a few weeks away.

While packing for our weekend getaway, Josh told me that he was taking me out for our anniversary and that all I needed to know was to pack a nice dress. So... as we were getting ready that Saturday night, Josh realized he did not pack his black dress belt. It was a blessing we happened to be staying in a hotel connected to a mall because his brown belt just didn't look right with his attire and there was no way of making it look right. We dashed over to Macy's to pick up a belt. By dashed I mean we left our hotel room at 7:07 and still made our 7:30 reservations a few miles up the road after buying a belt and finding our car in a parking garage. Phew! We arrive at III Forks right on time and had a great meal. We wish our waiter was a little bit friendlier but we were not going to let that ruin our night! It was so fun to dress up and hit the town. All in all - a wonderful night and a wonderful three years as husband and wife.

The modern gift for your third anniversary according to the "Anniversary Gift List Experts" is leather. Josh thinks this list is kind of silly and would like to meet the experts that put this list together but we have followed it the past two years so why stop now. We thought about buying leather furniture, perhaps a chair or ottoman, but with not knowing exactly what next May brings for us we decided on watches, leather-banded watches of course! Needless to say ... I LOVE my anniversary present! Yes, Josh picked it out himself - he did good. I have ordered Josh's and it is set to arrive any day.

Happy Anniversary, Lindsay! You make such a cute couple.

For a minute I thought you were going to say that the last minute belt served as your leather anniversary gift!
