The Leather Anniversary

Yeah, you’re probably thinking, WTF Mates? Apparently the 3rd anniversary is “The Leather Anniversary.” Who came up with that? Lol.

Dear Love Muffin,

Thanks for putting up with my grumbling in the morning, being the best backrub giver, and spider killer. I’m so happy we got married 3 years ago. I promise that I’ll continue to love your inability to cook, or match black socks, and the fact that you only shave twice a week. I love that we equally pick up projects … only to later put them down … and pick them up again a year later (if at all). I promise not to get mad when you incessantly want photos of me clipping coupons, or standing around your Mom’s kitchen, or sitting and looking at the internet because your good photos are actually pretty good.

Always,

Megan

(Almost) Anniversary

I’m counting down the days to my 3rd wedding anniversary and came across these bridal shower photos!

First, the Moms! Here’s Clint’s Mom, me, and my Mom.

Now, the rest of the ladies in my family. My Mimi, my Aunt Penny, me and my Mom.

See that leopard print dress my gram’s wearing? Yeah, she wanted to wear that to my wedding! Fortunately, I had the foresight to ask her ahead of time what she was planning on wearing. I got to nix it for the wedding, but said it was ok for the bridal shower. (My grandmom loves crazy clothing and socks!)

And, of course, my sorority sisters! My lovely Alpha Xi Delta’s! My closest friends and my Littles were there!

Of course, my BFF Michelle was here in spirit. Alabama’s a far distance for an afternoon affair!

Again, thanks to every one who planned and shared my special day 3 years ago! I love you all!

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Today is Clint’s and my 2nd wedding anniversary!

To celebrate the occasion, on Saturday we went to Penn’s Cave. Our trip started off well until we realized the Google Maps iPhone app has once again taken us on some ridiculous route to get there. We were starting to wonder why we weren’t seeing any signs! But we found our way and took the boat tour.

Did I mention I’m scared to death of boats? Now, I’ve been to Penn’s Cave before (many years ago) and I knew that it was a boat tour, but I forgot how deep the water is at the landing until we walked down to it. And saw the life vests in the boats. And the black abyss and giant gold fish (or whatever they are). Clint was just a bit afraid I wasn’t going to get on… but I did.

We got some really good photos and maybe we’ll post them on here once he gets them onto our SmugMug account.

Clint also decorated my office (I should take a photo, it’s quite obvious a guy did it). I got him a Tamrac camera case for his Nikon and he got me some of the books I’m missing and a $40 lawn chair. It’s a very nice chair, but I’m going to use it to lay out on…and I can’t justify the $40 he spent on it, so we’ll return it and get a $10 one from Walmart.

Happy Anniversary Hunny! I love you!

Year #4

Today marks the 4th anniversary of Clint’s and my first date. I thought that it would be a perfect time to reminisce on how we met and some brief milestones.

You may be asking, why do we celebrate this day and not just our wedding anniversary? (1) We’re sentimental. (2) We actually don’t always remember. Years #2 and #3, I only remembered we had missed it come Valentine’s Day. (3) We also like to celebrate the day we got engaged, for the same reasons…and we sometimes forget it too.

Ok, so….. How did we meet?

I remember it as…
