1095

Are you perplexed yet as to the title of this post? What could that number possibly mean? No it is not the number of hairs on my head, or how many chocolate bars I have eaten this year. It's official. I've been married for 1095 days! (Don't worry, I wasn't really keeping track, I just did a simple calculation of 365 x 3 ;) Mike and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary yesterday. I woke up to flowers by my bedside and a cute little gift bag with Harry Connick Jr's new CD (old love songs, a couple of books and a sweet little card. I was about to proceed upstairs to cook up Mike a mean breakfast before he headed off to work, but apparently Jack wanted to be fed before his Daddy. Jack's timing really does amaze me. It is impeccable. It's almost like he has a sixth sense and can tell when I'm about to take my first bite of dinner, or hop in the shower. Amazing! He truly is gifted. ha ha. After feeding him I luckily had enough time make him a lil' sumthin' sumthin'. When Mike got home from work he surprised me by taking me to this amazing restaurant in Hamtilton (approx 20 mins away) called the Old Mill. It was gorgeous and definitely more pricier than we're used to but hey, it's nice to splurge once a year! ;) We had a fantastic day and set some new goals for us for the upcoming year. I find anniversaries are the perfect time to reflect on my marriage and discuss things that we need to improve on and work harder at. I definitely believe that marriage is something that needs to be worked at. I'm finding, especially after having Jack, that you really do need to make sure you set aside time for just the two of you because it's so easy to get caught up in the daily grind and for routine to set in.
We both really couldn't believe that is has been three years already and reflected back on the time we have been able to share together. Like our wedding day for instance...oh the memories! As a little girl, I had always envisioned it as a picture perfect day but let me tell you...ours was the complete opposite. Here's just a glimpse of all of the things that went wrong:

1. I was almost late for the ceremony. The temple is two hours away from where I was living at the time so it made it a little tricky.

2. Threw up all over my wedding dress

3. Bailed on my rear end in my dress due to a patch of ice. ( I guess that is what I get for having a wedding in Dec)

4. Wedding planner was STILL decorating the room as guests were arriving

5. The table cloths were FAR from the colour I had ordered

6. Chicken entree more like chicken mashed potatoes than chicken. Everyone at the reception was perplexed as to what they were really eating. Darn Caterer!

7. Forgot about the flowers in the car up until the reception. Now that was a waste of money!

8. Wedding planner and crew didn't end up cleaning the room and we got a phone call at 8 a.m the next day saying we needed to figure it out.

Oh, just to name a few! But honestly, our ceremony, which was the most important part, was flawless and was able to be given by Mike's grandpa. All of the other things really are just small details and are now able to be the family joke! ;) Move over Aunt Chris! but oh...If i could do it all over again. I'd ELOPE! hee hee

I love you Mite and thank you for three amazing, wonderful, fun three years. You truly are my bestest friend and I couldn't ask for a more perfect husband. Love you Sugar Booger.

Here was an engagement video that my sis had put together when we had our engagement pics taken.
