Sunday, we celebrated 46 months of marriage. There's something odd about this four year mark, of engagement today and of marriage here in a couple of months, that makes me feel a new level of settled. Don't get me wrong: I still feel very much like a newlywed. But being able to say we're at the four year mark makes me feel like we're starting to get the hang of this matrimony thing.
Of course we started our day with church, trying a new church in our quest for a church home. The place we went was kind and welcoming, and we enjoyed our morning there!
We're extremely protective of our Sundays every week, declaring them to be a day true day of rest, but we tried to squeeze in a little fun before the naps began.
Of course there was the official monthly photo shoot.
Ryan got tired partway through.
And then we made a pizza together! We had one pizza kit left in the freezer from a youth group fundraiser, so I added a bunch of chopped veggies and we had fun putting it together...together!
Naps, of course, were the order of the afternoon, and those aren't very exciting, so I didn't take pictures. Well, plus I was asleep.
For our monthiversary treat, we went to the Hydration Station in Greentown to get frosted caramel apple drinks. We had already tried the frosted apple cider, but we're determined to get all the way through the apple drinks before they retire for the season!
It was a delightful little day of celebration, full of the low-key and the laid-back. Happy 46 months AND happy engagementversary!!

4 years! Congrats!!
Sounds like you had a perfect 46th month-aversary!
Loved reminiscing about your engagement with you guys! I remember that day just like it was yesterday. And the song that the station cut to right after Ryan finished proposing was Well Done. I don't know why I remember that....perhaps because I was so emotional about what I'd just heard that all I could do was sit there and cry and listen to the song. And I remember thinking, "well that's got to be about the best proposal ever!" Can't believe that was really four years ago already!
And as a side note, tahini is sesame seed paste and I STILL can't find it for the life of me to make homemade hummus so I just keep buying pre-made. It's probably cheaper than making it anyway.
Your hummus story reminded me of the days of living in Grant County searching for hummus which Steve and I love! We were (and still are) hummus people and loved the many varieties of hummus (including roasted red pepper). EVERY week I shopped in Grant County (five years of weeks, in case you're counting), I put in a special request for 'hummus' at my local Marsh store and most weeks there was no response...sigh. However, toward the end of my time at IWU, one of the clerks in Marsh mentioned to me there were quite a few people asking for hummus so maybe they would begin to stock it...when we looked at the requests, they were all from me. While we still lived in IN, a Trader Joe's store opened in Indy and I found my hummus there...so once a month I trekked to Indy to get hummus. Thank you for the memories of your engagement days (I heard the last part on the radio live) and for bringing back Indiana/Grant county hummus days!! Lois
love love love. all the versaries. :) XOXO
Tamar - Thank you!! :)
Tia - We are very impressed that you remember the detail about Well Done playing after he proposed! :) And also - SESAME SEED PASTE!! Yes, that sounds familiar!
Lois - I'm pretty sure you were the one who sent me the recipe!! THANK YOU for requesting hummus at the store so that they carried it when I needed it! HA! We have a kit now, so I'll try that and see how it goes!! {We do like the roasted red pepper kind from Costco!)
Polly - ME TOO!!
