Three years ago today, Ryan and I were married on Clearwater Beach. It was THE perfect wedding. No planning. No stress. Just us. We called my brother the week before we were getting married, and asked if they had plans the next weekend. They didn’t. So, we had a wedding date. I was in Evansville the week before wrapping up house stuff, so I went wedding dress shopping with my mom. We found the perfect white sundress at Macy’s. For $8. On the clearance rack. I LOVED it. My mom also bought Ryan a new white polo from American Eagle so that he didn’t feel left out of the shopping trip. It was also on clearance. $12. So, Ryan’s wedding outfit cost more than mine. :)
Chris and Liz drove to Florida where we had a 2 bedroom/2 bath apartment/hotel we were staying in and spent the weekend with us. We had a BLAST!! Saturday morning, we headed to the beach, where Chris married us (he’s ordained) right down at the edge of the water. Then, we went and had a FABULOUS lunch and drinks at one of our favorite beach shack restaurants. Later that night we headed out to the Pier 60 Sunset Festival (that happens every night) and listened to music, looked through all the vendors, watched Chris bond with a little monkey, and ate more yummy food.
It’s CRAZY how much our life has changed in these last 3 years! We’ve lived in Indiana, Florida, and Alabama. Moved into 5 different houses, in 4 different cities. Ryan has had 3 different jobs (all with CSX). I finished school for x-ray. We had a baby. We put 100,000 miles on our car. And we’ve met tons of wonderful people along the way! We’ve definitely kept ourselves busy the last three years! I can’t wait to see what’s next! Happy Anniversary, Ryan! I love you!!
