Two Years Old going on - Forever

Happy Two-Year Anniversary to us!

Every day hasn't been a perfect walk in the park. Our marriage so far is more like a hike to a mountain peak with ups and downs, a heavy backpack, sore muscles, beautiful views, refreshing breezes, wild flowers along the way and the anticipation of the exhileration of reaching the top together.

Since we'll have Junior with us for our next anniversary, we decided to "live it up" this year with a month long party. We began our celebration with the waterfalls and trees on the shore of Lake Superior one Friday. Saturday, we saw Phantom of the Opera. A walk around a 50's car show with a dance to old school rock and roll continued the celebration. And, though the drum core competition show was a blast and a bang, it wasn't the end. On the day of our anniversary, we went out to dinner and split a chicken cashew salad sandwich and a pizza. Mmmm. Nothing says marital bliss like sharing yummy food.

We are so in love with each other. I could share all our mushy in-loveness, but it's sometimes in Spanish (and I know some of you speak Spanish). So, I'll spare you and you can enjoy some anniversary quotes instead:
