2 Years!

Andrew and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on August 1st! It does not seem possible that it was two whole years ago that we said "I do." Time really does fly when you're having fun! And when you're moving to a new city - where you don't know a soul. And working your way through grad school (x2). And making new friends. And adding pets to your little family. And figuring out how to pay bills and buy cars and cook meals. I love reflecting back on how much has happened since this day 2 years ago...
We've made it a tradition to celebrate our anniversaries in Hilton Head while we are living to close. We love it there! Between work and Andrew's class schedule, we were only able get away for a few days but it was a great long weekend and we had so. much. fun!
We watched the sunset from a dolphin watch cruise...

Enjoyed the beautiful scenery from the boat...

Saw these cute mama and baby dolphins...

Lounged on the beach all day...

Enjoyed cocktail hour on the roof top deck at the Harbour Town Yacht Club...

Got some nice old people to take a couple of pics of us before dinner...

Daydreamed about someday owning a yacht (ya right)...

And ate way. way. way. too much!
We loved having a weekend away to spend just enjoying the uninterrupted company of each other and to take in some beautiful scenery. I so cherish these husb/wife getaways!

The "planner" in me couldn't resist talking about what's in store for our 3rd year of marriage (and beyond) so we did lotsss of that over the course of the weekend. We have BIG plans for this year! Family vacations, trip with friends, weddings to attend and be in, I'll be graduating (yayyy!), I take the bar, I'll *hopefully* be finding a job, Andrew takes his boards, he'll get his very own patients... etc... so much to look forward to!

As fast as these past couple of years have flown by, we are making a point to savor every moment we have in this phase of life. Before we know it, we'll be moving, and starting jobs, and buying a home, and having babies and looking back on the memories of "when we lived in Atlanta" and "when we were in school" -- its easy to get overwhelmed by the future and all of the big decisions and plans to be made. So we just try to live in the present instead!

For now, we're enjoying what we're doing right where we're at and being thankful for every blessing in our life! I have loved every second of our first 2 years of marriage. We've laughed, cried, grown, learned and changed together. I love my hubbs and the life we have built!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, ANDREW! 
Thank you for being patient, hilarious, caring, encouraging, protective, thoughtful, helpful, supportive and always entertaining.

Today, yesterday, and forever... I choose you! :)
