Anniversary Gift + Date = Love.

Photobucket
This year was our 2 year wedding anniversary & since we were leaving for Florida 1 week after our anniversary we decided to not do our anniversary date/celebration until we were in FL. Well of course Kevin went above & beyond and surprised me ON our anniversary {June 9th} - 

First surprise was that he came home on his lunch break and cleaned the WHOLE house- that included all surface areas, floors swept & mopped, bed made bathroom cleaned and up stairs vacuumed all in ONE HOUR! WOW. But that wasn't it, he also surprised me with a case of Starbucks DoubleShots {which ALWAYS wins my heart}, Mike & Ike's, and this HUGE Canvas I have been drooling & day dreaming over for awhile now. It's neat though, because the traditional gift for 2 years of marriage is suppose to be something Cotton, well Kevin researched and realized the canvas was Cotton! It was perfect! 

Here are some pictures of the Canvas 
{I have yet to start working on it, but I plan on making a colorful collage to put in our stairwell}

  2. O sweetie.. I feel so bad for your finger, as I looked at your smashed finger photo all I could think is "awwww poor thing". I also feel bad for your sunburn that is present in the pics. You look really good too, you must have lost weight recently and your dress is beautiful.

  4. Hey Brian! that is so cool that you used to live there - It is quite the awesome place. Were pretty set on making FL a yearly vacation spot now. I have now learned why so many others do that too.

    Hey Sarah! Thanks for sympathizing with me about my finger. It was aweful! Yeah I think I have lost more weight recently. Thanks for noticing! :0)

    Thanks Amanda! I really appreciate the encouragement!! I am hoping to hit my goals and stay there! :0)
