4 Years!

Yesterday was our 4 year anniversary!  I can't believe it has been that long!  The 2 years Devin was on his mission were the longest of my life and now the time goes by too fast!

Devin was very cute.  This is what he did:  He has this collection of root beer bottles that I hate.  They were in our kitchen on our "half wall" collecting dust and clashing with everything.  So I have been after him lately to throw them out but he wants to keep them.  When I woke up on our anniversary and went into the kitchen the bottles were gone!  I was so excited!  And the dishes were put away, but the bottles being gone was really enough to start my day off right:)

Then, for Christmas we were working on typing up his recipes and making a cookbook to give his family.  I needed to go through and edit the recipes.  I worked on it all day and my poor boys were practically neglected while I tried to get it finished.  So I was feeling horrible about ignoring them and tired of doing the recipes and frustrated that it was taking so long.  When all of a sudden, there was  a knock on the front door.  It was my in-laws.  They were there to watch the boys so I could get ready and meet Devin for dinner.  (I love being able to get ready without the boys interrupting me every 2 minutes so this was a treat.)  

As I was getting ready Devin called and said he could come pick me up so we could drive together instead of meet there so I was excited about that.  Though I didn't know where we were going yet...

When he got home, we said bye to the boys and followed Devin's clues to find the restaurant Baci.  It's an Italian place I have been wanting to try.  It was very nice and delicious!  The only thing I didn't like was their house dressing.  It had horseradish in it and I don't like that so they brought me their caesar dressing and it was yummy!

After our very nice dinner together, we drove home and put the boys to bed and had a nice evening at home.  He was so thoughtful and we really had a fun time!  

I am so blessed to have Devin as my eternal companion.  He is absolutely amazing.  We aren't perfect, but we are perfect for each other.  I love him so much!
