4 years...

Travis and I had our 4 year anniversary yesterday; I can't believe it's already been four years. We went to dinner at Ruth's Chris Stake House to celebrate. Travis was really sweet and had flowers waiting for me downstairs and diamonds waiting for me in the car. Yes, diamonds... I LOVE classy diamond jewelry. Travis thinks it is a tragedy to buy b/c it depreciates so fast, (that's my hubby always thinking logically...) but for me he will do it anyway. Aren't I lucky? It was really sweet of him. My earrings are beautiful with chocolate diamonds that he picked out b/c it would go well with my eyes. I would post a picture but unfortunately my camera won't work. (Dad, you left a day to soon. I need you to fix my camera.) We weren't supposed to do presents so the putz that I am didn't get him anything... sorry babe.

I'm not going to lie, our first few years were really rough. We are both hot-headed, stubborn, and "always right". I just can't help but think it's a miracle that we made it through those years. Does that sound bad? I don't mean it to sound bad... But here we are 4 years and 2 kids later with one on the way, and I'm so glad we've come this far. I am so glad I found you Travis. You are the perfect match for me. I know I drive you crazy sometimes but I love you more than you can imagine. You are one of the smartest, most capable, funniest, goofiest, most tender hearted people I know. You would give the shirt off your back for anyone who asked, and I love that about you. I know you would do anything for me and I for you. I love you honey.

PS. Psych about the baby thing I was just making sure you were paying attention.

You worried me with your mock baby announcement! You know how I always have a baby a month before you....I was starting to get concerned, thinking I needed to head out and buy a pregnancy test :-). Thankfully, you were kidding. I'm NOT ready for that again yet!

K seriously was reading the "baby on the way" part like 12 times before saw the psych at the bottom. YOu suck.

Kristina Rich said...

you almost gave me a heart attack!! It definitely had my attention. Congrats! PS Tell Travis that technically diamonds don't lose thier value because you don't have to re-sell them. Diamonds are always a good investment in my eyes. LUCKY!

Taylors said...

well, if you see a missed call on your phone from me... that's because i couldn't wait till the end of the post to call you about your "pregnancy announcement", you brat ;). congrats on your anniversary! i can't wait to see those earrings :)

Audrie said...

Aimee's Family Journal said...

Hey! I must say that i think alot of thought went into your present! He was really excited about your big night. And I am so glad you had a great time! Dinner sounds so great. And too... I wouldn't worry too much about not having gotten him anything! Guys like to be the hero. And I think they love to be the thoughtful one. The rewards are better!!!! Happy 4 years. AND SORRY about Kinsey and the toy box. That SUCKS!!!

Brad and Laurie said...

OK, you probably just jinxed yourself on the bogus baby banter. It would serve you right!

dad
