The Best 2 Years

Eric and I celebrated the best 2 years of our lives, with another Anniversary this past Saturday, June 8th. Last year when we were celebrating our Anniversary we were in the midst of packing and getting ready to move to Alabama for me to go to nursing school. One year later we are getting ready for me to graduate nursing school! I can't hardly believe it! I was a little bummed out when Eric told me he had to work on our Anniversary a 9am-2pm shift. A short day, but that also meant we weren't going too far this year to celebrate. Our niece Allie was also turning 1 on the very same day. We were sad to miss her party so we took her gift over the night before. We love her very much and are so excited to be so close to watch her grow and turn into such a beautiful little girl.

Allie was unsure about hew new bow.

After Eric got home from work, I made him shower cause he was stinky, :) we got all ready and drove down to gulf shores to the Track. The Track is a place to ride go carts on this awesome "track". We had so much fun and I may have cut off quite a few people including my sweet sweet hubby, but I came in first :). Eric said I'm the next Go Daddy Girl and I agree I should be lol! :) After riding go carts for a while, we drove across the street to Pirate's Island for a intense round of put put golf. Eric and I actually tied, which is a first because he usually beats me every time. After sweating like crazy playing mini-golf due to the extreme humidity, we drove over to Nolan's on a recommendation from a great friend. Nolan's was AMAZING!!!! Probably..NO…the BEST food EVER! We ordered bacon wrapped shrimp as an appetizer, had delicious rolls, a house salad, and Eric and I shared the surf and turf which is lobster and bacon wrapped filet mignon. The meal was huge, but definitely the best steak Eric and I have ever tasted in our lives!!!!!! Thats saying something if a Wyoming boy says that! The bill was high but it was so work it!!!! No dessert for us because we stopped on the way down to Gulf Shores and got Strawberry milkshakes from the local farmer's market, which once again, the best strawberry milkshake you'll ever taste. The combination of their homemade ice cream, and fresh strawberries is unbeatable!!! After leaving Nolan's Eric in I drove 5 min up the road to the beach. We strolled along the sand, put our feet and the water, laid out on some beach chairs, and just listened the waves crash as we watched a thunderstorm roll in off the Gulf. The lightening was beautiful to watch as it sparkled in the sky. Eric and I looked for crabs with our flashlights but we didn't catch any. We then got back in the car and headed home.

Eric and I exchanged gifts. He bought me a beautiful charm bracelet, not Pandora, but Pandora charms fit on it! :) I absolutely love it! I have been teasing Eric for a while because he buys me electronics all the time, and I have been hinting for a piece of jewelry; I guess he got all my subtle hints :) I bought Eric a brand new super awesome fishing pole, a couple pairs of fishing shorts, and a nice Under armor Columbia type fishing shirt! They all fit and he definitely is excited the try out his new fishing pole.

I couldn't be happier with my choice to marry Eric. We he is my best friend and the love of my life. I can't even imagine what life would be like if we never met. I'm so grateful for a temple marriage and the opportunity to be with him forever. Here's to the best two years with an eternity of happy years to follow.
