Our One Year Anniversary!

Today we celebrate our 1 year anniversary!

Well... actually, we both worked today! But we were able to celebrate

this past weekend!

One Year Baby!
Ben took me out to dinner at The Melting Pot, an amazing fondue place!

After dinner, we stayed overnight about an hour away from home!

It was a great night!

I had to stop at Sonic for a smoothie on the way to dinner!

I couldn't help it! I was starving!

THe Picture they took of us and printed for us there!
Our dinner! I had roses waiting for me when we got there!
MMMmmmm Oreo crusted covered marshmallow dipped in rich milk chocolate!
Celebrating with a glass of wine after work today!

I love you baby!

An Amazing Sunset Our Last Night!

Storms were coming into Michigan just as the sun was setting.

It was so beautiful.

We thought the sunset was a lost cause as we drove to the Lake...

But it ended up being an amazing sunset!

The sky was red, as the sun dropped into the water,

meanwhile, the storms were rolling in!

Catching up with Friends in Michigan

I am almost done posting all of our pictures from our trip home!

Friday we spent some time out on the big lake!

We had a great time spending time with our friends, who we miss so much!

Spent time at the pool, the boat, movie watching, and pizza munching!

Erin & Matt, Ben & Em, Craig & Michelle, Larry & Stacy!

Captain Craig!

Thanks for the ride! Hopefully we can stay on it a bit longer next time!

The boat is awesome! And we are excited to hear about all your new adventures!

It was so great to be home, and even though it is always crazy busy,

It was great to spend time with family, whether it's just sitting around talking,

going to a baseball game, or going out for ice cream... it's always good to be home!

Thanks Mom & Dad for a great week home!

The food and the accommodations were perfect!

Love you! Miss you!

Watching storms over Lake Michigan

After the wedding we spent some time up at my Aunt Pam and Unkie Tim's cottage

up on Lake Michigan. The first night, we had a storm coming...the following pictures is how it all developed!

Doesn't look too bad at this point....
Are you serious????
All of us getting comfortable watching the storm roll in!
Maybe we shouldn't get too comfortable!!

Standing up...getting ready to run!
This is the point when we started to pray...
Amazing! At this point the temperature dropped about 10 degrees and the wind picked up!
It was awesome to watch! And the storm really didn't end up being that bad!
