Celebration

I got home from girls camp on Saturday completely exhausted!  Of course I fell asleep even with Travis begging to go out and do something.  He seriously had some great ideas but I was just pooped!  After a good night's sleep, we got up and went to church on Sunday.  He cooked (with my help) a delicious Sunday dinner of steak, granny corn, mashed potatoes and bread.
I decided to go to bed early again to finish catching up on my beauty sleep.  I was already in bed when Travis called me from the other room.  I asked what he needed and he said he needed some help and to please come.  I drug myself out of bed and went to the kitchen where he was.  I saw him standing at the kitchen table with 2 dozen roses and a box of chocolate (I don't know where he had it stashed without me seeing it).  He said Happy Anniversary and told me how much he loved me (it was super cute and mushy, but I will spare you the details).  He then told me that he loved me even more now and wanted to show his love.  He reached down and pulled out a ring box.  He got me a wedding band!
 Just a little back story...My engagement ring didn't come with a band because there are little peek-a-boo diamonds on the side.  When we got married, together we decided not to get one.  Since then, I changed my mind because people sometimes still ask when I am getting married.  I mentioned it to him a few times but we decided that it isn't in our budget right now and it is not really a priority.  That being said, now you understand how excited I was to get it!  It is absolutely perfect!  He did a great job picking out a band to match my ring.

Also, if you know our engagement story, you will remember that he finally proposed to me at the end of the night by calling me from the other room after I was ready for bed.  It was a great way to remind me of that special time and how much we have grown since then.  I definitely got the better end of the stick!  I sure love him!

So pretty! I don't have a band, and I get asked the same thing. It's so funny to me. My older sister doesn't either, and she has three kids. She signed up to take an institute class and the teacher was like, "oh! I see you're engaged! When's the big day?!" she had been married for seven years. So funny. Maybe one day we'll get around to getting a band, haha. (Girl's camp looks like it was fun!)

Nice symmetry with the engagement ring and wedding band deliveries - I would think these experiences would make you jump out of bed any time Travis called your name from the living room. Very pretty.
