Our 2nd Anniversary

Today is our 2nd Anniversary

On this day 2 years ago, we became husband & wife. Just like today, it was a beautiful fall day. So much has changed over the last 2 years with the addition of our sweet baby girl Delilah that it feels like we have been married much longer. 

On Saturday we got all dressed up and had a wonderful night out downtown. It was our first late night out without Delilah. It was very nice to have a date night out, but of course we talked about Delilah all night and we couldn't keep our hands off her when we got home. 

Since our actual anniversary fell on a Monday, we didn't plan for much today. My mom has been in town since Thursday and I had a lovely morning with her and Delilah before she got on the road to head back down south. To my surprise, Patrick got home from work extra early. We ended up having the perfect day today.

I was showered with a huge bouquet of beautiful fall festive flowers, a very sweet card and a spa day gift. A few months ago Patrick purchased Ben Harper tickets as an anniversary gift for us. The concert is this coming Thursday, so the anniversary celebrations will continue throughout the week. I like to stretch all celebrations out to a full week rather than just 1 day. 

We headed out to Naperville, had a lovely stroll along the river walk, checked out neighborhoods on our hunt for our new home, stopped into whole foods and came home and Patrick prepared a fantastic anniversary dinner. It was a sweet, simple, peaceful loving day.

I am very much looking forward to our next year of marriage and hoping that we have another blessed year.
