Lovin you, is some kind of wonderful

This past Friday Richie and I celebrated our 2nd anniversary! But 2 years pales in comparison to others that share our anniversary. My parents celebrated their 39th anniversary on Friday, my grandma and grandpa Hinckley would have been celebrating 70 some odd years of marriage, my grandpa Hinckley would have been celebrating his 99th birthday, and Richie's Grandma Linda and Grandpa Kenneth would be celebrating the day they were sealed in the temple. When Richie and I got engaged, I told him I'd always wanted to be married on June 26th to carry on the tradition. He readily agreed, but after 5 or so months of engagement we thought we were crazy to wait so long! But we made it, and now I am so happy and proud to share this date with so many wonderful people in our families.
All pictures of our wedding etc are not readily available on our computer, and I don't want to take the effort to scan them in. Yup, just lazy about it. You know what we look like anyway right?


Here's how we celebrated
730 am: Rich: See ya later Honey, I'm off to work. Happy Anniverysary!
Rach: *sigh, roll over, back to sleep

1 pm: Rachel takes her ring in to get cleaned for free! (Richie lost his earlier that week! :( Sad day)

530 pm: Rush to get ourselves and Miles ready

545 pm: Rach runs in to the most romantic, near fast food place in Rexburg, "The Pita Pit" where the lucky couple has a coupon to get 2 pitas for 10 dollars! What a deal!

600 pm: Eat the Pitas in the car in our Sunday clothes on our way to Kam and Mal's place

6:15 pm Drop Miles off, head for the temple

630 pm Sit in Sealing Room on the 3rd floor and remember how grateful we are to be sealed for time and all eternity, followed by a session of sealings.

830: Get a Jamba Juice and pick up Miles

900 pm Feed Miles while watching "Gilmore Girls" (guilty pleasure)

910 pm watch him throw it all up

915pm change all our clothes, clean the couch, put Miles to bed

945 pm I reveal the greatest anniversary gift of all time, pictured below. ( I can't take all the credit for this, I got the idea off another friend's blog)

11pm still talking and laughing

1130 go to bed

All in all, it was a GREAT anniversary! Once again, we didn't get many pictures. For some reason, we're not too good at that. Oh well. We both agree these have BY FAR been the best 2 years of our lives. Can't wait to see what's in store for us! And just in case Richie ever decides to read our blog... I love you babe!

This is the board game I made him called "Love Land", modeled after candy land of course. For start, it was "June 26th 2007", and the end was "Home Sweet Home". Instead of the gumdrop forest etc we had "Gray Day" Spaces where you couldn't move until you gave a kiss and drew a yellow card. There were also "Awkward silence" space where you had to draw a conversation card for help. Those were questions like "If you could sum up our first year of marriage in one statement, what would it be?" and "What was most memorable about the day Miles was born?". There were also ups and downs ( like chutes and ladders) that happened if you did the dishes or forgot a special day. It was definitely a cheap, but fun gift and so much fun to play with each other.
