1yr Anniversary

We can't believe how fast a year has gone by. Already it was time to celebrate a year of marital bliss! We took the Catalina Express Friday night and landed on the beautiful Catalina Island.Kiel made reservations at the Metropole hotel. It was an adorable place to stay. We loved it!

!

As soon as we checked in we rushed to dinner at Steve's Steakhouse and had a delicious feast! We ate so much there was no room for dessert. The next morning we had breakfast and then toured the island. Here is us, being us.

We went to the Avalon museum, played air hockey, ate lunch right by the docks, treated ourselves to icecream and shopped around. Kiel spoiled me the entire trip and topped it off with new sunglasses and salt water taffy.

And here we are, all 2 1/2 of us! I am beyond huge, but what do you expect anything less from a 9 month pregnant lady?

My sister is going to ship us our wedding cake. The place that made our cake for our wedding remakes the top of our cake for our 1yr anniversary but won't ship it :(

Last year we made a tradition to make a wish and not tell each other until the next anniversary. I wished Montana would be able to come live with us, and Kiel forgot his wish. So this year we are going to write them down. In summary half of our wishes came true ;)

And in case you were worried about Montana, he did a great job holding down the fort. He even vacuumed and did the dishes. We wish! Actually he was being pampered at 5 Star Doggie Inn and is welcomed back anytime, phew!

Thanks babe for the wonderful memories!

4 Months & an Excuse to post a wedding pic.

The 25th marked our 4 month anniversary and the birthday of my stepmom Karen (happy Birthday, I need to call you). We don't really celebrate our monthly marks but we'll mention it if we remember.

On this particular anniversary it was activity night and I wasn't in the best mood, I'll admit. After taking all three girls home I think I texted something to Kiel like "Please shoot me" and no it wasn't while I was driving. I've learned my lesson (thanks for the video Brittany). He responded with, "I take it the drive home is going well ;)" and that was that.

But when I got home, my hot husband was making dinner just for me because he had already ate. And the movie Millions was finally downloaded, a good watch for all, especially around Christmas. And so it was, I was happy again, eating the dinner my husband cooked for me and scoping out facebook and that was that.

Then I went to change into my pajamas and my husband wanted me to listen to something. "Babe, come here I want you to hear this"
"Ok, hold on I'll be right out" but knowing Kiel that answer wouldn't suffice, so he came in to get me.
"Babe, COME here I want to show you something"
and then my voice got a little louder even though he was right in front of me, "by the time You take out the trash, I will be ready to see whatever you want to show me"
But he persisted, "Just COME HERE"
"Take OUT the TRASH!" and so he did and I finished changing and that was that.

And now, it was time to listen to whatever he wanted me to listen to. It was a song, a romantic song called Good Company. The most adorable song I've ever heard and we listened to it on our 4 month anniversary and it went a little something like this:

You and me together we'll be

Forever you'll see

We two can be good company

You and me

Yes, together we two

Together, that's you

Forever with me

We'll always be good company

You and me

Yes, together we'll be

You and me

Together we'll be

Forever, you'll see

We'll always be good company

You and me

Just wait and see

and then he said, in his cutest voice "see babe, that's all I wanted" and then I felt horrible, but also wonderful because I really did marry the best man in the whole world, and the story continues...

and here is what his face looks like when he uses his cute voice.
