4 years

I am SO behind with posts lately, but had to share the fact that our 4 year anniversary was last month. Adam and I have experienced a lot of fun firsts this year. We decided to permanently stay in Texas, and bought our FIRST home. We love so many things about our home, and the area we live. Our city was ranked #2 by CNN as the best place to live in the U.S. 

The most exciting news that everyone knows now is that we are expecting our FIRST baby in March. We are beyond excited. I have already bought a lot of clothes and I don't even know if I am having a boy or girl. lol. I can't wait to find out. I don't even know how people wait until delivery. I wish I could find out now. Since its our first, I don't have a preference as to the gender. Adam REALLY wants a little girl though. I think its the cutest thing. He is going to be such a good dad. I can't wait.

On the topic of pregnancy, they really shouldn't call it morning sickness. It is SO misleading. It should be called all day sickness. I have good days and bad days, but feel sick most of the day on my bad days. Nights are the worst for some reason. This is why I am so behind on blogging and life. It definitely could be worse, so I am glad its not too bad.

I do not have any pictures from our anniversary. We didn't do anything, because I was too sick. I told Adam not to waste a lot of money on a fancy dinner that I wouldn't be able to enjoy anyway. I can't wait until I have my appetite back. We did manage to pick out cards for each other, and spent the weekend relaxing and celebrating our love. Adam took good care of me :) 

Mine to Keep Forever!

This man right here is mine forever, and I couldn't be happier :) We celebrated our 3 year anniversary, a couple weeks ago, and it has made me reflect on how lucky I am for an eternal marriage to the sweetest man alive. I love him more than words could discribe, honestly. He makes me a better person, and teaches me so many things each day. My heart is just full of gratitude for such a wonderful husband. Think of every single quality you would want in a husband, and Adam seriously has all of those and more. There is not ONE single thing I wished he did differently, or would want to change about him. He is always there for me, and works so hard! We work together as a team in all areas. Loving him is just so natural. I could never get sick of this man. He is my everything, and it seems like eternity is not long enough. Our life together is just so wonderful, and I cherish all the time we spend together. I only wish we were able to spend more time together. Its starting to get tough having him gone 3 weeks out of the month. I have been missing him a lot lately.

How we decided to celebrate our 3 year anniversary this year....

First group of pictures are from our Rose Petal Package out at Beaumont Ranch. We wanted to go on their zipline, because they have the longest zipline in Texas. I was the only girl out of our group of 10 who did the zipline. It was really fun! You just basically hang there, and when its time to stop you put your right hand against the line to slow down.


We also did their ATV adventure. It was not a flat land tour by all means. There was barely any flat land at all. We were barely fitting between trees, and going through creek beds and revines. We caught air going up one of the last hills. Its a good thing I am a tomb boy! The tour guide told us that we better follow him exactly cuz if not, we could get hurt. He said one guy landed with the bike on top of him, and that it wasn't fun getting it off of him. I definitely made sure I did everything the guide did.

We had an awesome time and met another couple named Holly and Adam celebrating their anniversary as well...what are the odds of that? We had fun hanging out with them. We hijacked a couple golf carts and took a tour of the ranch.

Adam got me a wrap for my ring as an anniversary gift!!! :) Love it!

The last few pictures are from when we went out to dinner on the night of our anniversary. We tried one of the best rated places in Fort Worth, and were not that impressed. Having dessert at Simply Fondue made up for it! They gave us a cheesecake since we were celebrating our anniversary, and we don't drink.

Its been a great 3 years....the best 3 years :) We had fun celebrating for sure!

Graduation + Anniversary

We graduated last Thursday. It was nice to have both our families come up for it. These are the only pictures my sister posted on facebook, so they are the only pictures I have of graduation. I need to get some pictures from Sheila. Graduation didn't feel that special since we both have one more semester left. It made it even more anti climatic when people asked us what we were doing after graduation and we had to tell them we still have one more semester to get through. It was a pretty cool milestone in our life though, just the fact that we were able to do it together. It was fun having everyone all here. We were able to celebrate for days and spend a lot of time together. We are so grateful to our parents for helping us value education, and all the help we have received throughout our lives to get to this point.

Also, sunday was our big one year anniversary!! :) :) :)

We have had family up here since graduation and they are not leaving till the 6th of September. This made it difficult to get each other cards and stuff so we decided to go to the store together the night before to pick out cards for each other and read them aloud in the store. We got a kick out of it. We picked up some sparkling apple cider on our way out. We slept in on our anniversary and then had a big dinner celebration with all our family (extended family too). It was a good time. Hawaii was our real gift to ourselves, so we didn't feel cheated.

These are some reasons I love my husband so much...

1. Honors his priesthood because he loves me and the Lord so very much (this is the greatest blessing any women could ever ask for)

2. Makes me feel beautiful everyday :)

2. He is so kind, loving, gentle, and very affectionate. PDA doesn't bother him. He always gives me LOTS of kisses and hugs (I love the way he holds me).

3. Is so talented and yet so humble

4. Very Confident-he can do anything, seriously.

5. Smart-reviews shortly before a test and always pulls an A

6. There is not a selfish bone in his body

8. Willing to help out anyway he can with anyone.

9. You can always count on him to be there.

10. Very good listener (this is very helpful for me) and he is a great problem solver

11. Makes sure I know each day that he loves me.

12. He is my best friend and we have so much fun together. We like to be silly a lot. I wouldn't change anything about our relationship. We are very happy and I look forward to many years to come :) I LOVE YOU ADAM TROY TOWNER :)
