2 years

    A few weeks ago, Preston and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary! I can't believe it's been 2 years already. But I suppose it kind of HAS to be, since we have a 10 month old. I seriously think some people hear we have been married two years, see Elliott and think..hmmm...10 month old kid+ 9 months in the womb = YES! Less than 2 years!! Anywho, our anniversary was great. It was Preston's turn to plan it, but since he has SO much on his plate, we decided that we would "both" plan it (aka, I planned it). He's got next year. SO, we had to wait until the day after thanksgiving because I was at a good friend's wedding in Idaho on our actual anniversary. Here is what our day consisted of:

1. Black Friday shopping. I know we must be insane, but really, next year, Im going to be at best buy at 5 in the morning. They had the office on dvd for $12 each!! DANG! Luckily, this madness only lasted about an hour.

2. We saw...

And LOVED it! This was one of those movies that I was the only one in the theatre laughing. Really, really, loud.

3. We went to dinner at a restaurant called Roosters in Ogden (by the way, all of this took place in Ogden since it was the day after thanksgiving.) Dinner was oh, so good. And then there was dessert, Cheesecake!

4. We scored a sweet deal and got to go to Color me Mine with NO studio fees! And here was what we made:

Can you guess who painted what?

This one was Preston's. Initially, he wanted to paint it blue with brown paisleys, when I quickly pointed out that we needed something BESIDES blue and brown in our home (seriously, the whole thing is blue and brown.) So, he was bold and painted it bright red (I know it looks pink in the pictures), blue and brown. But didn't he do an AMAZING job? That's paisley, completely free hand!

And of course, this was mine. bunting and a mustache. Nuf said. The bummer about this, was I painted it knowing EXACTLY where I wanted to display it (on a hanging 3 tiered plate rack) and wouldn't ya know it, the plate is too big! Dang my luck.

You'll notice the date is our actual anniversary, and not the day after November. But check out the "P"! I painted that free hand and I am oh so proud of it!

Oh! I almost forgot to mention the gifts! Well, here is what I got for Preston:

I gave this to Preston the day before we were married. We used the two figures as our cake toppers. It's kind of a long story, so if you don't already know why we used these, feel free to ask and I will let you in on it. Anyway, the figures were somehow lost when my parents moved from Florida to Utah and thus, I bought him new ones. Man, am I sentimental or what?

And...

        

a must see for anyone who likes Will Ferrell and likes good movies.

Preston got me:

And before judging it, you gotta listen to it. It is SO good!

and...

with some of these inside:

Yeah, those are gerbera daisies and yes, that is a GALLON ball jar! It is so big and awesome. And he arranged so that everything was set up when we got to color me mine! What a guy!

It was a fantastic anniversary. Mostly because of the company, but the activities were pretty awesome too.

How I love my stickboy!
