Three Years...

Of course I have to throw this in here last... a little backwards, but one other super cool thing about Brian is he can grow a beard! (that is before he joined the Navy anyway...) By the way... I don't think I am really THAT short... he had to have been standing on a snowball or something.


Yes it is amazing! It has been THREE YEARS! Wow... time flys. So let's see... Three years ago we lived in Santa Barbara and got married. Since then we have moved around a bit and had ALOT of changes and even more adventures! I don't really feel like typing our long life story, so I am going to have a ton of pictures instead. Brian is out to sea right now of course so I am here with Shugo. I was going to go riding to celebrate, but it is raining :( But tonight I am going to dinner with a friend to celebrate. We have no idea when brian is coming back. There schedule is always changing. One day they might be coming home soon and the next they plan to be out for another month. So, no worries, whenever he decides to come back we will celebrate then!
Some great things about Brian that you all may not know are.... first he loves ice cream as much as I do :D Yay! I realize this is not ice cream... but somehow I don't think I have any pics of him with ice cream... I don't know how that is possible.
Of course he has to get along with my horse. Though he is not a rider, he will go out with me to ride once in a while and he has definitely done some stall cleaning and feeding :) And Almond seems to like him.
Of course we graduated together.... this was right before our 1 year anniversary. Yay, for getting our degrees, but we still have so much to learn :)
He jumps off a bridge when I tell him to :)


He likes to "smile with his eyes" (his words not mine).
He clearly always loved Sandy, even when she was wet and slobbery :)
He even risked his life to save hers once. This was on our failed first anniversary trip. It's a hilarious story... we wanted to go camping where we could be near a lake to swim in... of course me being new to SoCal I didn't realize how lame it was and that there were no lakes you could swim in. We ended up in freaking Nevada (In July) pretty much almost killing Sandy with 115 degree weather. Once we got to the lake things were better, but in the pic below... to the right there was some mud. ALOT of mud. Brian and I swam to the other side of this little spot. Sandy of course did not like to swim much so she was going to walk around. Well... little did she know that the mud there was like quick sand, and being a St. Bernard she sunk fast. The more she struggled, the deeper she got. Brian was very quick to rescue her though. He did a nice army crawl through the mud keeping low so he wouldn't sink in himself, and got her out. Some other people there at the lake also jumped in the mud to help out. It was the NASTIEST smelling mud you could imagine. SO BAD. But luckily we were at a lake and Brian and Sandy were able to rinse off and all was fine.
He likes to be silly and dress up once in a while for me :)
He is GREAT at mowing the lawn :)

And best of all! He hates mushrooms as much as I do! So yay for our three years of marriage. No kids yet and I HIGHLY doubt there will be any on our fourth year either.... it's at least not in our plans :)
