Seven Months!

It absolutely blows my mind that when I think back to one year ago, I had NO idea I'd be getting married {ever in my lifetime} and yesterday, Ryan and I celebrated seven months of marriage.

Shut the front door.

And praise the Lord.

Ryan started the day out right with this note on our message board...

 We both had to work, so we didn't get to spend much time together during the day, {and by much, I mean any}, but we had a great evening!

Ryan worked out, so that gave me JUST enough time to get home and whip up some Chicken Parmesan Muffins {except ours was a loaf} and asparagus for our dinner. I set it all up out in our pirogi. Thought about lighting a fire in the fire pit, BUT...well, first I'm no good at fires, and secondly, it was rainy.

 I got Ryan a card...which I love to do. But when I purchased it, the cashier said to me, "I think you buy cards every time you come in here." Is it bad that I have that much of a relationship with the Meijer cashier??

 Even used some of my monogrammed napkins Ryan's mom gave me for Christmas. I've been hoarding them for special occasions {such as this}.

 Our dessert treat, was courtesy of MY mom. She's one of the world's best pie makers, and she'd made a coconut cream pie that she shared with us! Thanks, Mom! We had our pie and coffee out in the pirogi while all around us it considered raining. I swear Seattle has moved to Marion.

 No relaxing evening is complete without a few minutes in the hammock. And a selfie. Y'all, we have become SO AWFUL at selfies. Seriously! We've been doing these for just under a year now. How have we suddenly lost our talent? So we had to resort to goofy.

 And while I didn't do this FOR our anniversary, I am throwing it in here. I made a shadow box with a picture of us on Siesta Key Beach - we took it during our honeymoon. The shadow box is filled with sand from the beach!
