3 Years of Marriage- All Documented Through the Blog!

Today marks my 3 year wedding anniversary. Being that I've been with Sam so long, 3 years is a small drop in the bucket of the 13 years total we've been together. However, these 3 years have been filled with some of the best memories we've had together!

When I first started this blog (if you been reading this since the beginning), you know I started it as a way I  save all my special memories, which included the wedding planning process. Different posts ranged from talking about my shoes I was going to wear at the wedding...

To the wedding shower...

 

To our plans for a "friends" honeymoon...

Once the wedding was final over with, my blog made a turn to talk about all the fun things we were doing as newlyweds which included recaps about our honeymoon...

The house buying process...

To moving into our first home together...

For our first anniversary, Sam and I extended our little family to include our fur baby- Shamrock!

As we moved on to the our second year of marriage, we got our first dose of parenting with Shamrock and all his medical issues. I call him my "special needs child" because he's made many doctors visits.

 

Also during that 2nd year of marriage, I found myself really committing to my weight loss goals so there were many (many) of my posts about my progress and how I lost the weight.

 

 

The real reason for the weight loss wasn't just to look and feel better (I mean that was part of it- don't get me wrong), but I knew I wanted to be a healthy as I could be for when I did start this journey I'm currently on towards motherhood.

 

As we started this third year of marriage, we knew we were going to start "trying" to start our family. However, I wanted to wait until after our trip to Mexico (which was for Joel and Casey's friends honeymoon trip) so I could enjoy my new smaller body and all the booze I could drink!

 



 

However, little did I know (even though it was joked about on the trip) I was 2-3 weeks pregnant while in Mexico. Opps! So much for "trying" after the trip.

 



 

 



On March 9th of this year, our world was forever changed by a little blue line.  Because of that line, a cookie cake was bought and we started down this journey to becoming parents.
 

 

As this year has gone along, this blog has made another turn and focused a lot on my pregnancy and getting ready to become parents. From the first picture of our baby...

 

 

To learning the sex of the baby...

 

 

To my weekly bump pictures...

 

 

 

Which bring us to today! We only have 19 days until this baby will be born, so I know this year will be filled with many new and exciting (and also could be scary) times ahead of us!

A message to my hubby on our anniversary:
 

~Bubs,

I love you more than words can explain. You have been my best friend for over 13 years and I was so happy 3 years ago when I finally could call you my "husband". I know you are going to be an awesome daddy to his little man, and I'm excited to have you by my side for this next chapter in our lives together!
