Happy Halloween and Anniversary!!

Dear Richard-

Today is the third anniversary of the best day of my life, the day we promised to love each other forever! Aren’t you lucky?!

 

I have known that what we have is special since the first night we walked across campus in the rain.

I now know that what we have is more than special, it’s unbreakable. 2012 tried to destroy us, but it didn’t. We are stronger and happier than ever.

You make me giggle with your silliness. You give me strength and courage when I struggle to find it. You help me find peace when I am certain it doesn’t exist.

We aren’t perfect, we make mistakes. More importantly, we forgive. That’s what we do.

You are my best friend and I can’t imagine walking this journey without you.

I Love You! Happy Anniversary!!

You read that right, we got married on Halloween. Here are a few shots from our big day:

 

 

All Things Halloween

Halloween around our house is kind of a big deal! It happens to be our anniversary. It is also one of my favorite holidays to decorate for. But, geez, decorations are expensive!! We are slowing expanding our collection. Chances are you will see me browsing the clearance decor the day after!! 

 

I thought I would share with you a few of my favorite decorations around the house (with the help of Instagram!):

Living Room Mantel

Wall stickers in our entrance.

Countdown to the big day! (A good way for Rik to never forget our anniversary!!)

The skeleton that Rik puts into awkward positions.

I love this pumpkin! It changes colors!

 You can’t have Halloween without a few carved pumpkins. It is one of my favorite things to do this time of year.  Rik and I’s tradition is to turn on scary music, have a few fall flavored beverages, do a little trash talk and carve away!

It's serious business!

This is how they turned out this year:

 

Happy Monday!
