11 months!

Happy 11 months to Big E! Time is flying - the last few weeks have been so busy. So excited for the 1st birthday party next month!

Seven Highlights of Seven Years

Today is our 7th Anniversary! A friend watched E and we enjoyed a great dinner out. At dinner, I made Cam help me come up with the top 7 highlights of our marriage... (and apparently the wedding day doesn't count - it's like the free space in Bingo!)


7. Hiking - we've been on so many great hikes in so many places. It's always wonderful to spend time in the great outdoors.

6. Road Trips- it's not my preferred way of getting to a destination, but we've had many memorable cross-country trips. Nothing like 30 straight hours in the car to strengthen a marriage, right? :)


5. Our cruise to Mexico - exploring ruins, snorkeling, and cruise fun.

4. Trip to Hawaii - snorkeling, Pearl Harbor, biking down a volcano, luaus, driving around in a convertible, and more. This trip was fantastic!

3. Pets - Nick, Gracie, and Jack have brought many laughs and fun times into our home. They're a part of the family!

2. Buying a home - there is something very satisfying about having a home that is yours - it has definitely been a learning experience in both good and bad ways. But it's ours!

1. We both agreed that E has been the most amazing thing in our lives. We were just talking the other day about how we almost can't remember life before E, and he's not even a year old yet. The day that he joined our family was an answer to many prayers. Compared to him, the vacations and things are just memories that will eventually fade.

A little history lesson...

When we went to the Guilford Courthouse Revolutionary War site on Thursday and learned that they would be doing reenactments this weekend, we decided it would be something cool to see. Neither of us had ever been to one before. The cannons and guns didn't even phase E, and it was really neat to see. Oh, and props to Cam for insisting that we get the adorable picture of E with the British soldiers. Only he didn't call it adorable, he called it awesome. :)

A Day Out

Cam and I took the day off work, and we went out with my mom, dad, and Big E. It was PERFECT weather, and we had a great time! We got Subway sandwiches and had a picnic, and then went to the Guilford Courthouse National Park. I had always just assumed it was an old building, but it's a huge park and we only saw a fraction of what is there. Cam and I want to go back on a nice day and walk around. And it was really funny because today was actually the 231st anniversary of the Revolutionary War battle that took place there - March 15th! It was a great day!

On the Move

We're on the move! Watch out doggies!
