Happy Anniversary

My handsome husband and I have been married for 4 years now!!!
In those 4 years we have;
moved me from Texas to Iowa,
moved 3 times in Des Moines,
moved to Wisconsin,
started Law School,
finished law school,
taken the bar,
passed the bar,
Ryan became an official lawyer,
completed one full year as an attorney,
had a baby in Texas,
had a baby in Iowa,
and had a baby in Wisconsin. -To name a few things.
It has been an action packed, crazy, stressful, wonderful ride (so far!) and I couldn't have picked anyone better.

This year our anniversary landed on a Thursday. Lucky for us, Ryan's boss who has season tickets couldn't make it to the Badgers game the Saturday before. Ryan told me Friday morning and I spent the day racking my brain to find a way to go. I found some sweet wonderful teenager (who even did my dishes!) to watch our girls for us. I picked her up at 3 in the afternoon and we didn't get home until 11! I felt like such a partier. Staying out tell 11. How cool. Those of you with children will understand, those without- someday. It was awesome. We drove up to Madison and had dinner and walked up to the stadium. We got to see the opening show and the first half. Then we headed home. It was so fun to see all the red and enjoy all the excitement. We had a blast even though we got STOMPED on. I think the final score was 7 to 41, but we did see our team get the touch down. Logan did awesome the entire time. I think he really enjoyed his first game. I loved watching the cheerleaders and listening to the band and watching the crazy fans. The game was fun too, it's just not as much fun to watch when your team is getting creamed. I'm really glad we got to go, and it was so fun to get out with only 1 kid! Now I know a great babysitter so we can go on more dates.
Well I thought that Saturday was our celebration, but I was wrong! At work on Thursday a bouquet of flowers and a nice card came for me from my sweetheart. I ran home on my lunch break and made Ryan a smoothie (food is my husbands 2nd love-me being his 1st) and left that at work for him when he got back from court. We both loved our gifts. I'm so glad I have such a thoughtful husband. We also stayed up late after the kids went to bed and watched a movie together. And I didn't fold clothes or anything, I just cuddled with my hubby. It has been a great anniversary and I'm so blessed to have my wonderful Ryan. I love you babe!
