3 Years ago...I became Mrs. Owen Munton

Today is Owen and my 3 year anniversary. It is fun to look back at how much has happened in three years. I think our lives are full of happiness and family. We became a family three years ago but having Andrew in our life I really feel like we are a family because our little unit now has a mom, dad and son. Our wedding weekend is some what of a blur to me. I felt blessed with many friends and family coming into town for our ceremony. Friends from high school, college, & graduate school came to Hattiesburg to celebrate with us. Owen and I are planners so I didn't feel the stress of things not being planned, but also since I delegated on some things I don't feel like I really noticed the small details, in particular the reception. I do know one hit of the reception was my dad's home brewed beer. It was a highlight. Owen's family hosted the rehearsal dinner and it was amazing. No detail was left unturned. His dad gave a wonderful toast. Oh and the bridesmaid luncheon was like nothing I could have dreamed of. Owen's mom, sister and sister-in-law put so much time and thought into the lunch. I really felt special and loved.

Owen and I celebrated our anniversary on Saturday. We were going to a wedding reception so since we were dressing up decided to go to dinner first. We went to the restaurant we have gone to for the past 2 years. It is now becoming our anniversary tradition. We reminisced on our first anniversary dinner...his dad bought us a bottle of wine which was a surprise and treat. Last year, I was pregnant so we didn't get wine. At that dinner we talked about the future and what we thought our life would be like with a little one in it. This year we are finding our new normal with being parents and finding the time plus energy to enjoy a night out with just us. It was odd not having Andrew with us. We still eat out quite a bit and take Andrew with us. Not having to look over at a baby carrier to make sure Andrew is happy and entertained was odd. All in all it was nice and I am very happy to be where I am in life. I have prayed for a long time to be a wife and a mother. Those prayers and dreams have come true and the real blessing is I get to live in my prayer and dreams forever now.

Enjoy a look back to memory lane...
