Celebrating 139 Months of Love

 


Yesterday was our monthiversary! 139 months married – and happily so.

            We both worked, so much of our day was spent apart, but we tried to sneak in some phone calls whenever we could.

            Once work was over, it was boot camp night, so we headed to the gym. Apparently I needed to see if I could use ALL the weights in one tiny workout. 😊

            It was a good workout: Ryan does a great job teaching our class and encouraging me to keep pushing myself, even when I think I can’t. I can tell I’m getting stronger, so that’s exciting.

            And what is a good follow-up to the gym? Oh, did you say ice cream? Good! Because we did! We went to our favorite ice cream shop for a little treat. Ryan got Boston Cream Pie and I got a Caramel Crunch. SO GOOD. We ate outside and had the best time chatting while we ate.

            Then we came home and had dinner. (Sometimes being an adult really doesn’t have its benefits. Dessert first!) Ryan grilled chicken that I’d been marinating all day, and I made roasted veggies. It was all pretty delicious!



            After dinner, we headed outside to put our patio furniture back in place. Everything had been moved while we had some work done on our patio to correct the drainage issue. I am counting this as a double-workout because some of that stuff is HEAVY!

            One of the things I am so excited about is that for the first time in four years, we have our hammock again! You might remember that we received a hammock for our wedding, and when we lived in Marion, it was in our pergola in the backyard. We had it in Kokomo, too, but it was harder to use there, because we had zero shade and zero privacy. Makes hammock life less relaxing. When we moved to WillowBridge, we didn’t have a place for it, so we were going to sell it. My sister ended up taking it and then gifting it back to us when we left WillowBridge! Alas, we still haven’t had the right spot for it until now, so it’s been in storage at my parents’ house. We’re reunited now, and I love it as much as I ever did!

            Lexi and I hung out outside with Ryan while he watered the yard we’re repairing, and we enjoyed a pretty sunset.



            It was a good day, and I’m grateful for it! Love you so much, Ryan! 😊
