Our Anniversary Today

Today is our fourth year anniversary. It is amazing how the time flies by so quickly! I just have to say that I have loved every minute of being married to this wonderful guy. He is the most amazing husband ever and is my bestest friend! I am so thankful to God above for guiding us to each other. I have been so blessed to have him in my life. I LOVE YOU CHASE!

Here are a few gifts as a token of our love! It was funny because we had actually not even talked about getting each other gifts since we will be heading to San Diego next week for a week long conference for Chase, which will include lots of playing and consequently expenses. But I had planned on making the above, with shells and pictures from our 2007 Spain excursion, for him as a small gift and when I woke up this morning he also had gotten a small gift of the movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks~a childhood classic for me! He was so sweet and he also got me lovely bright flowers! What a sweetheart! Happy Anniversary Love!

(Special thanks to our amazing sister-in-law photographer for the picture up above!)

~The Last Few Weeks~

I know I have been a slacker these last few weeks, so as a result there are lots of pictures! Here is a quick synopsis of the last few weeks... (Warning- the pictures are not in order!)

*Chase finished his second year of grad school, only 2 years left!

*Drake, Chase's brother, came to visit Indiana for the second time- We hiked around Turkey Run with Brady, Tasha, & Molly, hung out at home, toured Purdue, went on a double date, and had FUN!

*Some fun times with just Chase and me.

*End of the School Year Hawaiian Luau Party with friends

AND

*Family potluck with Brady & Tasha and Janelle & Paul and all the kids at our place

~I am sure I might be leaving something out but here you go...

These are a couple of pictures of our nieces and nephew watching a movie at our family potluck! It was super cute =)

This is some food from the Hawaiian Party. I loved the tiny bananas. Aren't they so cute? Everyone brought yummy dishes to share and the main course was Hawaiian style teriyaki chicken, rice and Hawaiian rolls. YUMMY!

For one of our (Chase and my) most recent excursions, we walked around Celery Bog nature area. It was really pretty and there were cute little ducklings and a mamma duck swimming around.

Isn't he cute?

Another evening together~ Making pizza! Look how high Chase's is!

So these next few pictures are from when Drake was here in Indiana. He took turns at all of his siblings and this during his stay at our place. One evening we did a double date and ate pizza and played frisbee nearby one of Purdue's fantastic fountains. While throwing the frisbee around I accidentally threw the frisbee into the very center. Drake was the hero who went in after it and coincidentally got soaked. Thanks Drake!

Going in after it!

This is a picture of Drake and the baby I babysit, just hangin out! The next few pictures are of when we went to Turkey Run with Brady, Tasha & Molly with Drake. It's really pretty there!

The brothers being funny.

All of us!

It was fun having Drake here! We are glad he was able to come out for a second time and hope he comes again!
