Come fly with me...

Regardless of how many times I've been on a plane (or jumped out) it never ceases to amaze me how great God is and how awesome the world He created is. It's amazing and awe inspiring to think about how small we are and how great He is. I love being reminded of his greatness. 

ps- I'm on a plane...

Two very wonderful years and counting...

Today is our second wedding anniversary!! We have had an amazing two years of marriage and I am incredibly blessed to be Alex's wife. He is the best friend, partner and husband I could ever imagine. I could go on and on about how great he is, but then it would probably go to his head . We have gotten to experience so many wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) adventures together but we have grown together and stronger in our relationship with God and each other. I love the life that God has blessed us with and I am very excited to see what the next year has in store for us.

Happy Anniversary Alex, I love you!

I found the cure...

...for mosquito bites! Actually, I saw something on the internet (ie: pinterst) that found the cure. The site said something along the lines of: 

as soon as you're bitten by a pesky mosquito or as soon as you notice the bite, grab a metal spoon and run it under hot (not warm) water and place it on the bite. It will obviously be hot and not the most pleasant feeling, but it does the trick! I didn't pin the original site that explained the science of the hot spoon, but today I was bitten by a mosquito and tried it out and it worked!! Try it on your next, inevitable bite and let me know!  

Celebratory Saturday

Our second wedding anniversary is on Tuesday however, I have to work all day so we decided to celebrate on Saturday!

 We headed downtown to do some exploring and  we started out with lunch at Molly's in Soulard. Then we headed to the Loop. Unfortunately I'm not the greatest with directions and we ended up in a sketchy neighborhood so we played it safe and went to Forest Park. The park is one of our favorite spots to lay in the grass and count the clouds, people watch and just talk. Later that evening we decided to go to a movie and Despicable Me 2 won the coin toss! It was cute, but not quite as good as the first one. We had a really great afternoon and I'm glad we decided to get out of the house and celebrate.

 Happy  2 years on Tuesday Alex, I love you! 

 

Side note- My brother is home from Afghanistan safe and sound!!

We are very proud of you Jim and we love you!
