Wrapping Up 2015

Like most of you, these past few weeks have been so busy and chaotic. My last post was just before our trip to the mountains to celebrate my birthday, and since then I have roasted marshmallows by the fire pit on a regular basis, traveled to a wedding, drank too much at neighborhood festivities, enjoyed time with our family for the holidays, traveled to KC to meet my newest niece (Sadie Kay), enjoyed the abnormal warm weather with our pups, earned my CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management), recovered from bronchitis, suffered with terrible back problems ... and the list goes on and on. Here are a few pictures to get everyone up to speed.

Thanksgiving, Sadie Kay and Christmas deserve a post of their own... so stay tuned! :)

I plan to do a video montage of our weekend at the cabin. My girlfriends and I love taking funny videos of one another, and Ashley and Lauren sent me their collection from that fun weekend. The montages are simple but very time consuming, so now that things will slow down a bit I hope to create the video. :)

Two Year Wedding Anniversary

For our one year wedding anniversary, I arranged for Shane and I to go on a private plane ride above Athens (which is the college town where we met, fell in love and got engaged). I gave him a folded paper airplane to reveal the surprise to him, because paper is the gift for one year.

Cotton is the traditional wedding anniversary gift for two years, and I have wanted to get some updated pictures, so I arranged for us to have professional pictures in a cotton field. I am not sure if Eli Whitney or Mother Nature is to blame, but after driving 2 hours to a cotton field there was hardly any cotton. Haha... life goes on!

We found a patch that had some blooms and took pictures for as long as Shane and the dogs would cooperate.

^^ Grandma Clancy gave us this blanket at our wedding

It was fun to reminisce and look out our wedding album

^^ I brought my wedding bouquet

^^ Those are out toasting glasses from our wedding :)

I love the idea of taking picture of our hands every anniversary so we can compare how our hands change throughout the years.

^^ 2 years

^ 1 year

This year, our anniversary fell on a Monday, so we celebrated some the weekend before and some the day of :)

We went to a great restaurant called Fish Thyme. It was delicious!

On our anniversary, I left work to bring Shane lunch and Cami Cakes (his favorite cupcakes).

One Year Wedding Anniversary

I haven't had a chance to blog about our wedding anniversary, which is pretty sad seeing as though it was 2 months ago. I seldom want to be on our home computer because I associate computers with work, and let's face it... I work more than enough.

We are currently lounging on the couch watching football in the midst of decorating the house for Christmas. I figure while Shane is watching two games at once on split view that I could catch up on some blogging.

On the Friday of our anniversary weekend, I gave Shane his present. Tradition say that paper is the appropriate gift for the first year, so I folded a piece of paper into an airplane and explained to him that we would be taking a private plane to see Athens (where we met and got engaged) from a bird's eye view. Athens will always have such a special place in my heart, and it was cool to see it from a different point of view.

We woke up Saturday morning and headed to the Gwinnett County airport. After our flight over Athens, we headed back home and hung out for a little bit before heading to Mazzy's, a local sports bar near our house. We enjoyed watching the UGA v. LSU game and drinking and eating yummy greasy food. It was so fun to just hang out!

Sunday we were planning to go to the Skyview ferris wheel in Atlanta because it is on my bucketlist to kiss at the top of a ferris wheel. When Shane realized that the state fair was still in town, he decided to take me their instead so I could cross two things off my list. Go to the fair, and kiss on a ferris wheel. I had never been to the fair before... I know that sounds crazy, but my mom always said it was too dirty! Bless her heart!

The fair was certainly a new experience. I love people watching, and I have never seen quite so many unique people in one place. We rode the cable cars to the far end of the fairgrounds and worked our way back towards the car. We rode several rides, but Shane is scared of heights, so the choices were a bit limited. When we were riding the ferris wheel, Shane kept telling me to sit still so the bucket wouldn't sway. Poor thing...

After the fair, we went home to get ready for dinner. We went to Veni Vidi Vici in Midtown. The food wasn't nearly as good as the Italian restaurant we went to for my 25th birthday, but we had a great time. After dinner, We opened a bottle of champagne and watched our wedding DVD. Shane surprised me with the top tier of our wedding cake, which I didn't know his mother kept at her house for the entire year. What a sweet surprise.
