Our Third Year.

Today marks a full three years of happy marriage for me and my sweet husband. What a ride we've had so far: getting married, moving across the country, starting the adventure of residency craziness and having our first child. This last year has really been the most life changing for us, but we've successfully made it through together as a team. The best team. 

Two lovely honeymoons.

1st Anniversary Date

2nd Anniversary Date

The start of parenthood.

Unfortunately we were not good about getting photos with us all together in the early days...bummer.

Happy Anniversary Lyle. It's amazing what three years can do, huh? You've changed my world for the better. I'm so happy to grow old with you, to laugh at our wrinkles and muffin tops, and to enjoy the blessings our children bring us. Thank you for being who you are and loving me for me. We make a great team, don't we?

love, lauren

Lovely Day. Most Favorite Day.

Today is the anniversary of my most favorite day. I can't believe it's already been two years since I married my most favorite person. It's amazing how time flies by when you're having fun! I can't imagine life being any other way. 

Lyle & I got married on the most beautiful day in May in 2010, at the most beautiful barn. The temperature outside was in the 70s and the skies and clouds couldn't have been prettier. We were so blessed as it had been raining all week up until the day before, and when I say raining I mean downpour flood rain. But the skies cleared up for us just in time. I think we were both in complete bliss all day long, as you can see all over our faces. 

Lyle, you are my bestfriend. I admire you in so many ways: your determination and hard work, compassion, selflessness, sense of humor, love for little creatures and adventure, and love for me; just to name a few. I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else. Thank you for being you and allowing me to be your bride! You've made life so much fun. I'm so excited for this new chapter in our lives; you're going to be a fantastic dad. I love you Hunzie.

Happy Anniversary.

We loved every little piece and detail of our wedding. I don't think we'd change it one bit if we could....except to make it longer. It was most definitely a good kick off to a good life together. 

Here's to two fabulous years. Cheers!

Trip to Connecticut

A couple of weekends ago I flew into Hartford for the wedding of a good friend and old colleague, Julie. It was a quick trip but a lot of fun. I got to see another old friend and colleague of mine, Kim, and spend the weekend with her and her darling daughter, Katie. I hadn't seen Kim in over a year, so it was so nice to just sit around and talk each others' ears off.

I have to say that Connecticut is beautiful in the fall. I'd never been up there before; it was quite a treat. Here are some pictures.

 The wedding was at an old hotel and farm.

 Katie was the flower girl. Lucky gal.

Thanks Kim for sharing your pictures and your weekend with me. And congratulations to Ross & Julie on a beautiful wedding and start to a new life together.
