Three years!! Plus of course the almost 5 years we dated, almost 8 years together?!? I feel like I barely remember anything different! My heart is filled with joy at the notion of our Father God blessing us with getting to share our lives together every day! We are not meant to live life alone, and our God is faithful and has allowed for the wonderful union of marriage to grow in selfless love! I love my Andee so much, and am so very thankful for this journey that God has taken us on in our still relatively new marriage! Through constant moving and changes of plans, He has taught us the true value of faith, perseverance, and joy! I am overwhelmingly overjoyed at the perfect and wonderful plan of God!!
Too sappy? Too bad!! Andee and I celebrated this exciting occasion over the weekend by making our very first trip to Downtown Chicago! We spent a gorgeous hot and sunny day walking around Lincoln Park and the Lincoln Park Zoo! We saw some beautiful and cute animals including a very active Jaguar, shared an 'American portion' lunch at the zoo, enjoyed the beautiful view of the Chicago Skyline and even walked along the beach! A perfect Chicago day! And what made it even better was the fact that the Lincoln Park Zoo is FREE, and free things make me happy! It may have taken us almost a year to make it to Chicago, but I am glad we can finally say we made it!
On our actual anniversary, August 14th, we enjoyed an absolutely delicious Italian meal at a restaurant close by to Harvest called Maggiano's. Maybe it was a combination of rarely going out to eat mixed with eating late into the evening, but it was an extremely enjoyable dining experience! We started off with warm bread with olive oil and cheese, followed by an appetizer of stuffed mushrooms, delicious pasta entrees, and finished off with an anniversary treat with candles and a massive slice of chocolate cake! Very few things make Diana happier than a 3 course Italian meal!! And to top it all off, we were given a gift card from a friend!!! Perfect!!!
So there you have it - Three Years and Three Countries, what will we encounter next?? The saga continues........ ❤
Maybe the next country will be CANADA!!
