The Married Life: 2- On honesty and trust

We are back! (sorry, this was meant to be posted last week, but we got busy.) We decided to talk a little about honesty and trust. It's a bit long this week; we were chatty! Still getting the feel for this (it's pretty new territory for us.) so bare with us as we get the hang of this. :)

You can check out our first video here.

The Married Life: 1

       
         
Cody and I have decided to do a little project together. This is the intro video, done on the fly and unedited, so forgive the um's and awkward pauses.  We plan to cover a variety of topics and sub topics with this, but most of all, we are excited for something fun to do together on the blog!

Few things:

*Cody is actually really expressive (he's not actually mad or anything haha), i'm sure you will see that in the future, we just did this spontaneously because we finally had a minute. ;)

*if you could only see my full outfit (mom wardrobe alert!)

*we will get more comfortable with this, the first video is always the hardest/weirdest haha.

* We are cheesy and nerdy with our words, so you are fully warned ;)



            

The 12 'Days' of Christmas

***PG rated post... I am advising our family to keep scrolling lol ***

 I am not one to post many things regarding this topic, but I think this is hilarious. I decided to do a fun just-for-us Christmas gift for Cody this year. I saw the idea on pinterest (I swear I come up with my own ideas...sometimes.) and just had to do it because it was so silly. I give you...

 Cody laughed his butt off, and you know what? I think things like this are extremely important for a marriage. Why not have some fun, right? 

 I hope I didn't make you spit out your morning cup o joe. Happy holidays everyone. Hope you're having fun  ;) 

August long weekend: Our anniversary!

  Last weekend (monday) we celebrated our anniversary as a family. It was a really nice, calm day. we got to stay home and relax and hang out, which was nice after three days of crazy.

 We went out for a bike ride together in the early afternoon. It was really nice to know we had no time frame, so we got to really enjoy each other.

Later that evening, we had dinner at our favorite restaurant. Of course, that means a pile of goofy pictures for us.

Mackynzie took this one of me!

Putting stickers on my nose.

 We ended with awesome dessert, and feeling super full. Of food and love... Awwww....

Sort of funny; people always say that as time passes, and after you have kids, marriage gets harder and you have to 'try' more. For us, it truly does get better and better every single day. Being parents and passing time has only made us more connected, and fall more in love (is that possible?!). It makes me a little sad for those people who always look at us like we are foolish, or haven't had 'enough' of -insert whatever here, time/kids/etc- but mostly, it's sort of funny. It will always be our private little joke. If only they knew even a glimpse of what our love looks like. But we are very much okay with keeping that little secret all to ourselves.

And since This is a good excuse to be mushy and all that (like I really need one.) I will end this with Cody's song to me, that quickly became 'our song'.



Happy anniversary to us and anyone else celebrating this month!

A date full of chocolaty-marshmallow goodness

 We have so much fun on our little homemade dates (you can see a jenga date here.). It's usually super simple and costs nothing or very little. Life is busy with Cody not getting home until 5 and Mackynzie going to bed around 7. There is a lot we try and cram into our evenings (and Cody spends as much time as possible with Mackynzie before bed.) So spending quality time together could easily be pushed aside. Our little evenings (we try to have them multiple times per week along with just hanging out in spare time.) are so special for us, and as Cody would say, we have fun. Right hun? Haha sorry, its the delivery and comedic timing he uses that makes it hilarious. 

Thursday night was a s'more date with great conversation.

Ya... We have fun.
