Happy Three Year Anniversary

Happy Anniversary ! Flowers from Dan
(well kind of... haha.  they were actually left over from Granny's funeral yesterday- and Dan was given this beautiful bouquet as a thank you for his speech.  Good work, love!)

Three years ago- today (well tomorrow Seattle time) Dan and I got married.  For the second time.  We have chosen to celebrate July 5th as our wedding anniversary though- because it was the more significant one of the two- the one where all of our friends and family could joins us to celebrate.  And what a celebration it was.  Hands down one of the best days of our life.  The day was perfect and the events leading up to the wedding were such a blast.  

To the love of my life:  Happy anniversary.  I can't wait to celebrate many many more.  

You are truly my other half and I feel so lucky to have met you.  You bring out the very best in me and I enjoy spending every second with you.  Love you !

Dan and I were fortunate to share our wedding day/ anniversary with my Grandma and Grandpa Sussex's wedding anniversary

Three Years and Counting...

Yesterday was Dan and my three year anniversary- from the first wedding!  Three years ago yesterday Dan's parents, who had flown in from Australia, my parents, and Sean all congregated in the church to watch Dan and I exchange vows.  We celebrated our official nuptials (I hate that word!)  by going out to dinner at McCormick and Schmicks with our families afterwards.  Then a week or so later- we had a bigger celebration with about 20 of our closest friends and family downtown Seattle at Cutters Bayhouse- where we had a private banquet room overlooking the Puget Sound- and great food and drinks.   Dinner was followed by a fun night out at the Last Supper Club- where we saw one of our all time favorite DJ's- Kaskade.

Although we consider July 5 our wedding day- we still like to celebrate both (*wink*).  This year, we didn't have any definite plans- but we knew the weather would be nice (ya never know in Seattle..) so finished work a little early- packed a picnic and loaded up the car- Dyllan and Mylo- and headed to Alki Beach.  Although we left our bottle opener for our wine and Mylo's leash and collar at home- we managed to have a pretty great time.  We couldn't have asked for a better evening at the beach (sounds crazy to say that- when I am talking about Seattle)- the weather was perfect- and the sunset was spectacular.
