It’s that time of year again and today we are celebrating our second wedding anniversary! It seems just like yesterday that we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary, so this one kind of crept up on us.

We have no plans because we are broke as hell, but we did joke around that maybe we should go to Del Taco and get our favorite Crispy Fish Tacos, and discuss our current health plans. LOL! We’re so romantic.

He’s got to work on making us millionaires all day, and I’ve got back-to-back doctor appointments, so I imagine by the time the evening rolls around we’ll share dinner in bed while watching a movie together. It’s okay for now, but once we’re rich he owes me big time!

Love you baby! Now and forever, and even more when you are rich!

Second Wedding Anniversary

Update: The party was a blast, and we had so much fun! It was great seeing everyone again, and hanging out. You can see all my pictures on my Flickr stream: juliesjournal

Booty Call

Yesterday was our first wedding anniversary. We didn’t have anything planned, and thought we would just play it by ear. We thought about going to the movies, but decided to stay in and just catch some movies on cable. J.R. worked crazy hours, so I was busy shuffling him to and from work.

We watched Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo again, which is always great for a good laugh. We also caught the action packed Mission: Impossible III. I thought it was really good, and now I want to see I and II. Michael has seen them all, and he coined this one Mission Retarded III. LOL! No, he didn’t like it.

We ended the night by getting take out at Lucilles BBQ, which was absolutely delicious, and had a picnic on our bed while we watched The Zodiac which was slow and boring. We both dozed off for a bit watching it, but that could have been from our full bellies also.

We got a card from my mom in the mail, with a lottery scratch ticket in it. We were all excited scratching it off, but we didn’t win. It was still fun and exciting though. Thanks mom!

Over all, it ended up being a nice day, and I really enjoyed it.

First Wedding Anniversary

The Google Page Rank on all my blogs went down to PR2′s. That bites so bad, but there isn’t much I can do about it. I’m still indexing really well, so in the end, that is really all that matters to me.

I’m not going to make it to Blog World Expo next week, because I can’t get the time off from work. That kind of sucks, but I’ve still got things planned with the people that are coming into town for it, so I’m looking forward to those gatherings. PostieCon is on Saturday, so I will make that for sure.

Not much else to report. Oh we’re coming up on our 1st Wedding Anniversary (Nov 18th), and that’s pretty exciting. We haven’t made any definite plans for it yet, but whatever we plan, I know it will be perfect. He’s the greatest guy ever, and we’re just so happy.

Checking In

I came across these unique Tyrone Bell’s that come in different styles all symbolizing different things for the couple. For instance the Tyrone Bangor Bell is presented to the couple to help solve “differences,” and the Tyrone Belfast Bell is for helping the couple to be ready for all those very “happy” years of married life together. I think they are so pretty, and you can also have them engraved with the couples name.

Engagement Gifts

J.R. is with friends out on the lake, boating and inner tubing. I almost begged him if I could go also, but then decided I would be disappointed with the answer, “no mom, it’s just the guys,” so I didn’t say anything but, “have a good time.” HA! Spending the day on the lake sounds heavenly though, and I’m glad he’s getting to enjoy it.

Michael and I went out to dinner Friday night to that really great bar I told you about once before. It was just as amazing the second time around, and we had a wonderful time. But the real fun started when we got home. *wink*wink* We’ve been needing some alone time for awhile now, and it truly was just what “the therapist ordered.” (If we were in therapy that is).

We got up early Saturday morning and had breakfast. Then we hiked the Pittman Wash. I got new hiking boots, so I needed to break them in before we did any serious hiking in the mountains. I just love them, and they are going to be perfect. We’ve had a lot of rain lately, so there is flowing water in the wash that we had to cross a couple times. The water just beaded off my boots. PERFECT!

Today we spent moving my computer desk to the music room. I’ve been camping out on the couch with my laptop so I can see the TV, but it’s just doing a number on my back, and my mouse hand/arm. I’m all settled into my new desk, with Michael at his desk just a few feet away, and the TV directly in front of me through the arch way into the living room. And this setup passes the most important test. We can both lean back in our chairs, and our lips can meet for a kiss. PERFECT!

Through all the superficial things that happened over the weekend, there was some much needed positive connection happening between Michael and I, and we truly needed that to happen. And as long as we can recognize that we need to do something to get back in sync, and the things we do actually do, sync us back together, then all the world is PERFECT!

My Husband

Speaking of Michael, he’s leaving tomorrow for two days, and I’m going to miss him soooo much! WAAAAAAH! He’s going on his Jansport 8000 Meter Challenge in Southern California. There is a whole team of them going from his job, and I bet they are going to have a really good time. I wish I was going, but work calls, and the boys are back in school. I’ll just be home missing him.

I Missed My Blog – I’m Going To Miss My Husband

I’ve been trying to think of types of anniversary gifts that I could get him, but I keep coming up empty handed. Everything I think of is kind of generic, and just doesn’t feel special enough. But I did come across something he would like; art!

He loves art, and this company PaintYourLife.com will take one of your photographs, and have an artist hand paint it for you into a portrait. They offer oil, charcoal, watercolor, pastel, pencil and acrylic paintings, ranging from wedding pictures, kids, houses, landscapes, vehicles, whatever you want painted, they will do it. Just go take a look at the examples on the website. They are REALLY good!

It’s really easy to do also! You just upload your digital image to them. They will paint it for you, then upload a picture of it on the website for you to take a look at and see if you want any changes or anything else. They will only ship it to you when you are completely satisfied. It looks so interesting doesn’t it?
