Three Years Ago

I was kind of worried about the weather.

There were a lot people that I didn’t want to get rained on… and I was wearing a long white dress.

Three years ago…

I knew there was someone that would be waiting for me.

We’d hold hands as the pastor talked about watching the same hands grow old and carry each other through life’s experiences.

All of our family and friends were there….

Everyone got their own mini cake– three different flavors, each covered in chocolate ganache.

I didn’t have time for dinner that night, but did manage to eat two mini cakes 😉

The Pilot’s was shaped like the gun of the A-10… his other wife.

    In 24 days, I’ll be feeling the exact same way 🙂

    I’ll be walking down the aisle, and listening to the same poem about MY soon to be husband’s hands…
    I’ve never been more excited in my whole entire life.

    I can’t wait to be 3 years down the road and looking back on an amazing life just like you.

  35. Claire on August 18, 2010 at 9:49 am

    Congratulations! I am jealous of the genes of your future babies…you two are bound to produce some seriously good looking offspring.

  36. Maria on August 18, 2010 at 9:56 am

    Happy Anniversary! I’m getting married next July and I’m also a military bride/wife to be! I love your blog and I just started reading it. Can I make a suggestion? Because I’d love to get caught up, you should do an about me post for any of your new readers 🙂 That way we don’t have to sift through old posts (there are lots of them!) And I’d love to hear about how you met your pilot!

    • Fitnessista on August 18, 2010 at 12:28 pm

      that’s a great idea! welcome to the little bloggy and congrats on your upcoming wedding- that’s so exciting!!!

    • Laura J. on August 18, 2010 at 10:11 am

      P.S. I had an idea for a Reader’s Request post. It’s a little early to start thinking about but I know if I don’t suggest it now I’ll totally forget in a few months, ha. What about doing a post on Fitnessista-fied holiday dishes. Like some of your favorite healthier dishes for thanksgiving, christmas and everything in between. You’re such an amazing lil cheffer that I think it’d be so helpful to get your input and ideas on how to put a healthy spin on holiday favorites. Anywho…just an idea 🙂

      • Fitnessista on August 18, 2010 at 12:27 pm

        that’s a great idea! maybe i’ll do that as thanksgiving approaches… or a labor day menu would be fun!

        • Laura J. on August 18, 2010 at 3:46 pm

          Yay! 🙂

  43. fran hlavacek on August 18, 2010 at 10:11 am
