Today's topic is 10 Memories with Your Spouse. Brian may not legally be my spouse but to me and our families, he is. A piece of paper doesn't define our relationship. We have been together for about 5 years. Living together for almost 3.
I love taking a look back at fun exciting things we have done since we have been together. How times have changed since having kids.
1- Brian and I met while working at Dunkin Donuts. The first few summers we went and saw a bunch of country concerts. This was before being homeowners and having two kids.
2- Our first vacation together as a family of 3. We drove 12 hours for a quick 4 day trip to Virginia Beach. It was the longest car ride ever (I did 90% of the driving) and the felt like the shortest trip. We had so much fun and Ella loved seeing the ocean for the first time.
3- A lot of my memories include some sort of sporting event. While we worked at Dunkin Donuts we went to a lot of the Lake Erie Crushers baseball games (semi-pro). We took Ella to get first Lake Erie Monster's Hockey game and Cleveland Indians baseball game. The two of us have also went to a few Cav's game, more Indians and Monsters game too.
4- Brian surprised me with a trip to Disney World for my birthday one year. (My birthday is in June, we went in September). It was his first time, and my 1st time since I was 2. I am now hooked and always want to go back.
5- Instead of having a birthday party for Ella turning 5 we took her to Disney World and stayed at the Polynesian. (Isn't he the best step-dad) The whole vacation was planned around what Ella wanted to do.
6- This is my favorite picture of Brian. He is holding Austin while he was in the NICU. It was not a fun experience but was a great bonding and growing experience for our relationship. He was my rock when I just wanted to break down and was with me every step of the way.
7- From the guy who use to not really like his picture taken has come to accept all the pictures. He also has agreed to family pictures every year.
8- Our first Holiday as a family of 4. I love that Brian try's to make every holiday special for myself and the kids.
9- This past summer Brian planned a trip, which was a surprise for Ella to take us to the Columbus Zoo. We enjoy going to the zoo a lot.
10- Our dates have changed over the years. From being fun nights at country concerts, a few hours of just relaxing watching TV, sporting events, to family dates, and now to planned date nights.
Every relationship has a highlight real. Each one unique. This man makes me happy, gets me excited, shares in my laughs and tears, takes care of me, is an amazing father, and a step-dad like no other. There will be many more years and memories to come.
Thank you for stopping by!!!!! If you are new here,
Feel free to follow along.
XOXO
We like going to the zoo too and we haven't been in awhile! Also love going to baseball games and Disney World is a fave - more for me than my husband, but he does it for us!
