Since I was in school for our anniversary, we decided to move our anniversary weekend to Aug 5th-7th. Friday night after Ryan got off work we took Macie to her aunt melissas and uncle haydens house. Ryan and I went and ate at red lobster! MMMmmm After dinner we went looking for an anniversary gift to each other. Since its our second anniversary the theme was either cotton(traditional) or China (modern) We decided to buy our first china plates. As the years pass we will buy more pieces till we have atleast two complete sets. After that we went for drinks at Applebees to pass time before our movie. We went and saw friends with benefits. It was a really good romantic comedy. That night ryan was away from macie for the first night since she was born. It was my second. I still took it worse than ryan haha. That next morning we went and got 30 minute massasges. We picked macie up from the mall. Her Aunt melissa and Grandma Connie spoiled her in claires. She got lip gloss, hair barrettes, a purse, mirror compact, sun glasses, and even more little goodies. When we got her home she took a little nap. Then we went and ate with the family for ryans uncles 50th birthday party. When we left there we went to the wichita falls winery to go wine tasting for the first time. Then at 5 we went to church. After church we picked up hayden and melissa and grabbed a bite to eat and went to the casino for the first time. Ofcourse we didnt win anything :( Macie was back at our house that night! The next morning we got ready to go to the lake and left around noon. We played in the water at lake elmer thomas for a few hours then drove home. Sunday night we relaxed. It was a great weekend. I was so happy to spend so much time with my husband. After 7 years we are still so in love with each other. It also made me realize getting away from macie for a little bit isnt a bad thing. Its healthy for both of us.
The end of july came and went so fast! Were already almost a week into august...We finished up july with many activities. On the 23rd Braidens birthday party was out at the lake, they had slip and slides and kiddy pools set up all throughout the yard. Macie LOVED playing in the water. We ate hamburgers and had cake and ice cream. I cant believe all the boys are 3 years old now! That following wednesday (the 27th) was Ryan and I's 7th(dating) and 2nd(wedding) Anniversary. We went to lunch with macie that day. That evening I had to study so we didnt get to do anything special but we made sure to have a glass of our wine! Its a tradition since we got engaged and we dont plan on breaking it! That friday night we went out to eat, went to walmart, and macie and I played with stick on nails haha. Saturday we went to cast away cove with my dad and nada. We were there a little over 5 hours. That evening we went home and relaxed and watched a movie called hall pass. It was pretty funny :) Sunday was Connies birthday. We had lunch and dinner with her. My summer class just ended and I made an A! Now im only 2 classes away from having my minor. 1 year 9 months left till its graduation time. I cannot wait! On a different note, July 30th a guy who I went to church with when I was little, passed away. It was very unexpected and due to surgical complications. Its very hard for me to keep it off my mind. Yesterday I attended his funneral along with my dad and MANY of our old church friends. It was GREAT to see them... I have to say most of my favorite childhood memories are because of those people. It gets me thinking and I get emotional. Its crazy how a funeral can be so sad yet bring joy from getting to see old friends. I dont want to end on a sad note so I am excited to say that this is going to be the best weekend ive had in a long time! Ryan and I our celebrating our Anniversary this weekend since im out of school. We have lots of fun things planned and im looking forward to some quality time with my best friend!! Ill blog about that later! Also another very exciting thing that happend is Ryan got a raise! aaannnd they are compensating him all the way back to the day he started in november 2010. They caught on the system that he was not making the amount he should be and they fixed it right away! We are going to be blessed financialy this month and we hope to pay off some of our debt!
