trip to atlanta:

view from our hotel room on the 65th floor.

view at night.

at the aquarium.

tunnel.

tropical fish.

more fish.

cuddlin' otters. i want one so bad.

atlanta was fun and all... but never again.

it was hard to navigate the streets and it was dirty.

This time, last year

i woke up real early for a hair appointment.

this place was right next to the temple but didn't open until 9.

i had to be at the temple at 9:30.

when i made the appointment, they said they could open early and get me out in time.

so we get there at 8.

no one is there.

finally 8:30, the desk person shows up and calls the lady that was set up to do my hair.

hair lady gets there at 9.

tells some lame story about not being told to come in early.

blah blah blah.

i was not happy.

i had to ask her if she was almost done because i was going to be late to my WEDDING.

kind of a big deal.

so she takes her time still and we walk out by 9:45.

she didn't even do it how i wanted it.

not to mention her pregnant belly was bumping me the whole time.

anyways, we get to the temple and find out the bride before us was an hour late so they are running behind.

we walk in single.

we walk out sealed.

not to mention in a beautiful dress that i could not breath in.

but that is probably what made it beautiful.

we loved everyone in our wedding party.

the day started out rocky but by the time we walked into the temple all that mattered was that we walked out promising each other forever.

i kept on thinking of when we were dating that all i wanted was this moment and finally it was mine.

he was finally mine.

and here we are one year later. i cant believe how quick the past year has flown by.

one down, many more to go.

i love you lance anderson.

shot through the heart

the hubs and i sometimes leave love notes on the front door from time to time.

it's fun to find one stuck up there.

but what's more fun is finding a hidden one.

on my way to work, i always put on my eyeliner and powder in the car.

i put my purse in my lap to dig these items out.

i grab the empty water bottle that i assume was left in there from the day before.

i put that on the passenger side seat.

finished my make up.

got to work.

picked up the water bottle to throw it in the recycling.

{i am the un-greenest person you'll know, so be proud i was going to recycle}

thats when i notice a piece of paper rolled up.

how romantic right?

you see, we recently got into lost.

and when we get into a show we try to reference it whenever we can.

it's hard to explain but for example, we'll use the term "the others" a bit much.

in the last few episodes they started making a message in a bottle.

hence, the message in a bottle.

it had lots of mushy gushy stuff in there too.

i love him.

4 days until we're over the year mark.

where did the time go?

on the back of note.

i'd say that's an impressive heart for a boy.
