Monthiversary 27

Yesterday we celebrated another monthiversary! 27 of them under the old belt now!

I was out of it yesterday morning when Ryan got up and ready for work. My cold meds had settled in and I could not wake up!! He left me our journal that we share back and forth, so when I finally woke up about 2 hours after he left, I found some coffee and breakfast and curled up to read his words. I love our shared journal!

I wanted to try to get a lot of rest, but at the same time, I wanted to do something special for the day, so I decided to bake a coconut cream pie. {He loves them.}

My mom is a legendary pie baker. My grandma ran a bakery. I have never been trained in the art of pie making. But I do have a decent amount of determination.

So I made a pie!

From scratch.

Made the crust. Made the filling. Even made my own whipped cream and toasted coconut for the top. I sneaked tastes along the way and knew that it at least tasted good, even if it didn't LOOK like something my mom would crank out or my grandma would have sold.

We did sample it last night and declared it tasty!! :) And I had a lot of fun making it.

I also did my first cooking in over a week - nothing fancy, but at least I served Ryan a meal I cooked. We hunkered down for spaghetti and garlic toast while we watched TV. Pretty tasty!!

And we took our picture - out in the snow! {Sorry I'm in my big ole jam jams. I still can't wear real clothes.}

Happy 27 months, my Love! While our wedding day was decidedly warmer, I loved celebrating with you!!
