I have an awesome husband. He blesses me daily with his kind spirit and long lasting patience with me. I am not always a ball of fun and he's stuck around me for a very long time. Derek and I dated for about 6 years before we were married and that to me is a trooper. We have had some great memories from our years together and I couldn't imagine life without him. He is a great father to Nolan and I can't wait until Nolan truly understands how caring Derek really is. This year to celebrate our anniversary we enjoyed the simple things. I made some Chicago style pizza (recipe courtesy of my friend Carrie), then we took Nolan to the park by our house for some family fun and watched a movie.

I was trying to sum up some of the most memorable times we've shared in these past three years of our marriage and there have been many. Although not all of them were captured on film or camera. I narrowed it down to three. We both love vacations and my 2nd and 3rd favs were the wedding/honeymoon trip to Riviera Mia Mexico and our 1st year anniversary trip to Hawaii with Justin and Kendra whom were also on their 1st year anniversary.

Vacation to Hawaii with Kendra and Justin
We were able to stay with some friends that used to go to our church part of the time. They were so amazing and hospitable. They are one of the most lively and spirited families I know that also love the Lord and follow his plan; which just so happened to be in Hawaii on a quiet peaceful part of the island. I was able to get some fun scenery photo's as well.. just trying to capture a glimpse of the beauty that is there.

Wonderful Memories from our wedding, honeymoon, and vacation...but my most fond memory was (as cheesy as it sounds) not the actual birth of our son, but about an hour afterwards. Hehe. It was great to finally meet Nolan and to share this with Derek.

You guys are so cute! I love your pictures of Hawaii. SO beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that you two have been married for 3 years already! That just seems crazy. I cannot wait to meet little Nolan when I come home in August. I love you Becky!
ReplyDeleteBecky! I love this post. That picture from Hawaii of the super clear water below and the ocean water above with the mountains is AMAZING! I love it
ReplyDeleteThanks all, I want to be in Hawaii now. Oh well. Can't wait to see you Mal. Stay safe and keep up the amazing work; see you soon.
