I still don't like the new site. I gave it a week, and I'm still missing blog posts, still missing replies made to my blogs, and I still can't find where to access previous links I had listed when it was the old website (including my favorite blogs to read on the Nest).
However, I do want to post about my weekend. I had the best Sunday ever!!! It was our two year anniversary of the day he proposed. It's a special day to us because we feel that's the day we decided to be together forever. Our wedding day was amazing, but that wasn't the day we chose each other for life, it was just the day we celebrated it with our friends and family. Our engagement day is the real deal for us. We also don't celebrate Valentine's Day, it just isn't us - we don't agree with making it an important day just because Hallmark says to, we'd rather make our own special day. March 11th is the day that matters to us. Now, my husband obviously got me a ring two years ago when he proposed, but then last year he surprised me with this adorable pink ring. So it has sort of become a tradition that he buy me a ring on that day. I wasn't anticipating one this year, to be honest, because he has been putting a lot of money into finishing our basement. But as I was making breakfast and sugar cookies (for later, of course), he brought me into the bedroom and pulled a ring box out of the closet. Then I opened the box and it was this gorgeous diamond band. He said he wanted me to have a simple band to wear on the opposite hand. I absolutely love it, and it sparkles like mad. Then we crawled back in bed and just stared at it twinkling on my finger. Originally I had planned to wear it on my pointer finger, but I slipped it on my thumb and it looked perfect. At first I felt really bad wearing such a gorgeous ring on my thumb, but my husband loves how it looks there. He doesn't care where I wear it, as long as I feel so happy wearing it. We haven't spend a lot of time together lately because of the basement project, so it was awesome to have a whole day just with each other. We went to Lowes and looked at bathroom stuff for the half bath going in the bathroom, we went to the mall and I bought him a cool new jacket, then we went to dinner at Longhorn. It was a great dinner, and we just had such a good time talking and laughing.
I guess the one great benefit of not being together a lot right now is that when we are together, we have so much to talk about. We catch up on everything and really learn new things about each other. It keeps everything fresh and fun. He is just so cute to me. I am definitely spoiled. And I promised him I'd rememeber how happy I was all day and how in love I felt before yelling at him the next time I get mad over something or get frustrated that he's in the basement! He's very appreciative of that.
On another note, I went to my cousin's baby's first birthday party on Saturday, and he's not even crawling yet! He seems really behind, especially since another baby there who is just 8 days older was running all over the house. I think it's because his parents don't encourage him to do these things. The whole time I was there, he was never once sat down on the floor. He was carried by his parents or sitting on one of their laps the whole time. He wasn't even giggling ot smiling. And he received a ridiculous amount of presents!!! Oh my god, it was just his first birthday, he can't possibly need the 50 plus presents he got. I thought it was a bit excessive. It was more gifts than all four of my sister's kids combined got for Christmas.
