Two Month Bliss

Yesterday marked our Two-Month Wedding Anniversary! Yes, I know the two-month stepping stone is a Widely celebrated anniversary, but hey when you're happy, everyday is a celebration. We celebrated with a huge pizza and a late night run  to rite aid for some junk food....ahhh yes the guilt is a little smaller if you justify that it was a special occasion. Which makes me think of how awesome Hallmark's new slogan is 'Life is a special occasion', Amen Hallmark!

Celebrating our little Anniversary makes me miss our wedding already. It was the perfect day. I hope that every girl gets to feel as happy as I did on our wedding day, it truly is an undeniable joy. If any of you reading this are preparing for your own wedding, rest assured that all of those tiny things that go wrong will be totally unnoticed on your wedding day, because 'wedding goggles' make everything look exactly beautiful.

I cannot mention the word Anniversary without making a little salute to my paternal grandparents who were married for 70 years before my grandfather passed away this past winter. What an incredible journey they had together! I was visiting my grandmother just a couple of weeks ago and the first thing she asked me was, "have you had an argument yet?" Disagreements are totally unavoidable and she has so much wisdom concerning marriage that I would really love to have a list of guidelines from her---"101 ways to be the perfect wife"---or I could just consult the "Good Wife's Guide" (if you haven't read this please do, it makes me very happy to be a wife in 2011) ...but I have to admit SOME of the guidelines do make good points.

I can't live by a set of guidelines to being a good wife, but what I can do is enjoy being young and being married to the man I love, and have a few goals for the immediate future:

• Read the Bible together
• Begin exercising more
• Eat less Salt&Vinegar chips
• Drink more water
• Cook more healthy dinners
• Make more time for crafts
• Ignore marathons of "Toddlers and Tiaras" (please don't judge me)

In honor of our very special anniversary I want to share a picture from our blissful wedding day...Happy Anniversary to you for whatever special memory this day marks for you...or take a hint from Hallmark because Life IS  a special occasion.
