Blessed for our Anniversary

While we were on our way to Caleb's CT scan, we opened an envelope that was given to us by our dearest and best friends the Howells. It said that Amber would be picking up our girls and then sending us on an afternoon of remembering, relaxing, renewing, and reflecting! Amber told me about a week ago to keep this day set aside so I was VERY curious to see what she had planned.
She gave us some envelopes and gifts to open on our afternoon together.


STOP #1- Cornerstone University
This is where we met, fell in love, had our first kiss, and got engaged.
The first gift included snacks and some questions to ask each other as we walked around campus.
Wow..we have not been to campus in a while and just walking around brought back so many good memories! We had forgotten about the goose poo that is EVERYWHERE around the sidewalks! Shawn just had to demonstrate how gross it is!













STOP #2- Find a park and have some fun together. We decided to go downtown and walk around AB-Nab-Awen park and try and find all the places we used to make-out at. Tee hee..:)
It was just too light out and too many people around to do anything THIS afternoon!:)

STOP #3- The purpose of the first 2 stops was to reminisce about our story leading up to our engagement. After we got engaged one of the 1st people we told was my mom! Our next stop was her house for afternoon coffee and yummy cinnamon rolls. We had some questions that we could ask each other and talk about as we remembered our engagement.
We had Caleb with us so it was a perfect stop for feeding him!


Don't these look yummy!







STOP #4- Go to the church where we got married. My mom also had the wedding album she had made of our wedding for us to look at.

After this stop we went back to my mom's to pick up Caleb and then headed to our next stop.

STOP #5- Our house for a romantic candlelight dinner. Dinner was already in the crock pot and it was FABULOUS! This stop was to remind us that our home is where God is building our house!

After our great dinner we headed over to pick up the girls and end our evening with coffee, ice cream sundaes and amazing friends!

All I can say is WOW! Thank you so much for a great afternoon and for giving us a much needed gift of time. It was exactly what we needed! All your planning and thoughtfulness is so much appreciated! We love you guys!
