A Celebration of Marriage

I can't believe I've already had two great years with Jarom.  Time goes by so fast.  Jarom and I decided not to do anything super crazy for our Anniversary this year because we've been saving up for a little something else, and quite frankly we can't find the time to even get away for more than a night with Jarom's crazy work/school schedule. Jarom's gift is still on it's way, so I'll post some pictures soon once it arrives!  They say it's important to try new things that interest your spouse so that you can learn to enjoy each others hobbies together. So far every hobby of Jarom's that I've tried, I've ended up enjoying (i.e. shooting guns, flying, riding dirt bikes, motorcycling...all of which have been very new to me) so we're giving it a shot.  Jarom and I were both scheduled to work on our Anniversary, and Jarom had math class that night, so we didn't do anything too fancy. I ended up being called of, so I made a nice meal at home, and we went and saw Hunger Games that night after Jarom got out of math class, and enjoyed some Snickers cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory for dessert. It was delic.

Jarom was sweet, and ordered an Edible Arrangement
for me and had it sent to the house.  It was so fun to have
something delivered just for me.  It was such a surprise, and so thoughtful. He sure knows the way to my heart, chocolate covered fruit. I loved it!  I'm a lucky woman, that's for sure.

And finally, this post wouldn't be completed without an expression of love for pinterest.  I found this idea for a date jar off of pinterest.  Jarom and I are always so indecisive when it comes to making choices about where to eat out or what to do on date nights, so I made this "dates for a year" jar for Jarom as part of his Anniversary gift. I'm actually kind of excited about it.  I came up with a bunch of things we've been wanting to do for awhile now, and threw them in the jar, in hopes that we'll actually follow through, try a few new restaurants, and make some time to get away.... I got the idea from here: http://www.lifeinthegreenhouse.com/2012/02/date-night-in-jar.html in case any of you struggle, or are as indecisive as we are when it comes to going out or deciding what to do when we stay in. I  realize while the chances may be high that this may be another one of my failed attempts at a super girly project made to strengthen our marriage from pinterest that I'm constantly throwing at Jarom, it may just turn out to be amazing, and he was sure sweet about it  If he didn't like it, at least he pretended too. Husband points.  Thanks for not making me feel lame babe....

I love the quote from Grey's Anatomy that says "I made a choice, and I keep making it everyday, that's what marriage is." I'm so grateful I chose Jarom.
Happy Anniversary love, I love you.
