Happy Annaversary!

Sunday was our second anniversary! I  made Dave breakfast in bed (lemon poppy seed  muffins), and he picked out a fabulous dinner for us to make together! We did Steak Gorgonzola with Alfredo sauce and linguine with asparagus and fresh bread dipped in oil and balsamic vinegar. And we have leftovers that are calling my name.

Our time together has been the best! A few of the highlights are:

1. We survived our first year together in an apartment that never really cooled down, even in the winter. That's what you get for staying in a place that is heated with a boiler and cooled with a swamp cooler.
2. We spent our first Christmas together in Hawaii! Nothing says Christmas like palm trees and snorkeling.
3. Our first house was purchased a year ago, we immediately added a kitchen to the basement and started renting it out to Dave's brother and sister-in-law (renting to family is the best!)
4. We got to visit Glacier National Park. We could happily move there some day, maybe when we retire.
5. We had a dog in the family for two weeks. It was enough of work that we realized we're not ready for that kind of commitment at this time
6. We planted our first garden (tomatoes, green peppers and raspberries). Although we didn't get as many fruits, veggies as we had hoped, it was fun and we'll try again next year.
7. We got a free barbecue! Dave's loved entertaining this summer with it
8. We're in the process of adding a bedroom and a large storage closet to the basement apartment! Not only will it up the value of the home, but if we rent it out to non family we can charge about $100 more a month for it (bonus)!
9. We've been to Zion's more times than I can count and enjoyed every minute of it!
10. We're better friends and more in love than we were when we got married

Here's to the next 2 years being just as great!
