2 Years and Counting...

Last week we celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary. To my surprise Brice had planned a one night little getaway in Santa Monica! It was super fun! Here's a picture of the view from our ocean-side hotel room. Also, Brice got me 2 dozen long stem red roses (representing our 2 years of marriage) that were delivered to our room. They were breathtaking! How romantic! The first day (last Monday) when we arrived, we walked the pier and of course 3rd Street. We relaxed, ate lunch, at checked into the hotel and got settled. I was even able to take a nap! :) Later in the evening we went to a wonderful restaurant...
Houston's. I ate the best steak I've ever had! It was a marinated in a Hawaiian sauce, then cooked to perfection along with some maple syrup sautéed carrots. Brice actually had a sushi & salad plate there, and it was also quite delectable.

If you're ever in the area, you should definitely eat there! Then...we were off to the movies. Madagascar 2 was light and cute!

The following day, we woke up, ate breakfast, did some shopping on 3rd street and ate lunch at no other than Bubba Gump's on the Pier!

Then, Brice had yet another surprise up his sleeve...








Ice Skating! It was fun. My balance isn't as good since I'm pregnant, so I had a death grip on Brice, as I didn't want to fall and hurt the baby. It was so enjoyable, and quite laughable too!

Then, it was off to Ventura to the Pierpont Inn, where we got hitched. This was the most wonderful part of the trip in my opinion. We were able to reminisce, and more importantly pray together...thanking God for two great years, and asking Him to protect our marriage for 5, 10, 50 years from now. We realize how easy it is to become relaxed in marriage, since we're doing well right now. We humbly asked God to preserve our love for each other, fueled my our love for Him; and to help us this next year, as life as we know will never be the same again. It won't be just the 2 of us anymore, and we want to keep us a priority too. We always welcome your prayers too!

Thank you Brice for a wonderfully planned overnighter! As I've already told you, it had a perfect balance between fun, rest, romance, and surprises! I am truly blessed to be married to such a wonderful man who loves God, and loves me despite my many imperfections! I love you!
