Happy Two Years :)

George and I are celebrating two amazing years together! It's strange to think that two years have gone by...time flies when you're having fun :) Since our actual anniversary fell on a Monday we celebrated the weekend before. On Friday after work we went to the Orlando Temple and then out to eat at Outback Steak House. We went there because we had a gift card to use, but we were pretty disappointed in the food. I didn't even finish my 6 oz. steak. I know what you're thinking...pregnant lady you don't even like food! Well since I'm not reliable, George didn't like his either. But it was pleasant to eat out with just the two of us, it seems like we haven't done that in a long time. We got a hotel that night just outside of Orlando so it'd be a short trip the next day to Blue Springs State Park. Florida has some amazing springs bubbling up from beneath. Manatees use them during the winter so it's off-limits to humans, but in the summer the manatees go elsewhere to play. The water was a refreshing 72F. The head spring bubbles up from 120' below and then flows down stream. It's so clear and beautiful...we spent a very relaxing day lazily tubing in the water, with a nice picnic break in the middle. We stopped for milk-shakes on the way home. It was delightful to get out and I felt good most of the day! I have to give props to George. I've been so busy with work and my church callings (and pregnancy) that I haven't had time for much else, so he planned everything for the weekend. He packed all our clothes, picnic foods, and booked the hotel. Pretty much all I had to do was get in the car. It was perfect and so relaxing!

The head spring - there is a hole beneath George that goes about 120' straight down, there were a few scuba divers that went to the bottom while we were there.

I had to get a picture with us together. Our camera isn't water-proof, so here is one of us together...I'm just about 30' above George :)

I made this collage for our anniversary. Props to my brother, Mac, for building the frame. He actually made it for another painting we have, but until we get matting done it doesn't fit. I think it works nicely for our collage tho!

By far, the best and most exciting present this anniversary was finding out that Ichabod is a BOY!!! Now to just figure out some names and get ready for our cute bundle :) We are SO excited for this little baby to join our family. It was really fun seeing how excited George was with the news :) Beforehand we decided that if it was a girl I would teach an Albanian word to George each day for the rest of the pregnancy, but since it's a boy it looks like George will be teaching me Spanish! In just a few days I'll officially be 'half-way' YES!! We have a lot to look forward to in our lives with a baby boy on the way and a new career for George. We look forward to the adventure!
