Happy Anniversary to Us!

Lets get married!!

Two whole years...that is how long I have held the title of wife.  On one hand, I am still learning new things about Scott daily.  Every afternoon I still can't wait for him to come home from work and scoop me into his arms for a kiss.  His text messages and random phone calls throughout the day make my heart skip a beat and a smile spread across my face.  On the other hand, he feels like that pair of comfortable jeans that I've owned forever that just fit.  He can read my thoughts by a simple glance and he can anticipate my needs before I do. 

Love this one...

In the most simplest of terms, first and foremost, I like this guy and enjoy every second we get to spend together.  He is my favorite travel companion and my better half.  He is good to his family and friends and confident in his abilities as a husband and father.  On top of all that, I find him extremely attractive. *says a blushing Kara*

One of my favorite parts of the day is long after the dinner dishes have been cleared and the sun has set beyond the horizon.  The house is quiet and alarm clocks are set.  Scott and I settle into bed.  Sometimes we bring books or magazines, but most the time it is just us.  We talk about the day and plan for the next.  It's "our" time to say whatever needs to be said for that day and to relax in to one another. 


And then we were married!!
On our anniversary, we reminisced about our perfect wedding day.  We spoke about laying eyes on one another as I walked down the aisle.  We both can't help but smile just remembering the moment.  I remember my heart catching as I listened to him say his vows to me, and I remember my vows happily bursting out of me as I loved promising him everything I am and have for all of eternity. 

Exactly 1 year later 2011
We reminisced about our first anniversary.  I had been in the hospital for roughly a week at that point.  Mom had brought me new pink pajamas for our special day.  Scott brought me flowers and a gift and we had carry-out from an Italian restaurant.  We had the top layer of our wedding cake and we snuggled in my hospital bed and reminisced about our wedding, much like we did this time around (minus the hospital bed).  We came a long way in that first year, and even further in our second. 

I don't know if I'd call it luck, good fortune or God answering my prayers that brought us together.  Whatever it was, I don't take it for granted.  I am excited about anniversary #3 and every day that comes between now and then.

2 years from our mountain wedding 2012
This picture from our anniversary this year makes me smile.  It's a very "every-day" picture because Scott and I spend a majority of our time on the floor playing with the little one.   There's clothes and toys on the floor, but that's just life.  It's our life.  It all started with us meeting, becoming friends, falling in love, getting married, and saying "I Do."

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
