Celebrating 6 Amazing Years



This past weekend was a full 3 days of fun and exciting things, but I am going to jump right into the best part...Saturday, Kristoffer and I celebrated our anniversary!! Six years ago we stood outside my childhood church and posed for some pictures by the church's huge lilac bush...




...six years later we had to pose by some of the beautiful lilacs in our backyard!


Kristoffer had to work in the morning, but left early and after the boys were down for a nap we loaded up the (new) van and headed to Indy for an afternoon/evening of some quality time for the two of us. Kim and Terry were gracious enough to watch the boys all afternoon so we could enjoy our time together!


This was our first date in quite some time, so we were both super excited to go out together!


Kristoffer was busy at home and didn't get a chance to grab anything for lunch, so we swung by BK so he could get a sandwich.


Kristoffer had planned our day, and our first stop was the Indianapolis Museum of Art.


We saw a lot of interesting pieces of art...



Who's that hunk in the new shades?! As much as we enjoyed the museum, our favorite part was the Lily House and Garden. The Lily House is a 1920's 22 room mansion that belonged to the Lily family.





The house is surrounded by beautiful gardens, but unfortunately we didn't get to explore them too much because it started to rain.







After the museum we headed over to Keystone to do some shopping, we wanted to replace a few things that were lost in the accident. It was the first time in a LONG time that I had gone shopping without my two sidekicks, and man was it a lot easier to pick things out! For dinner we went to P.F. Chang's...what a delicious meal! I had a great time spending the some alone time with Kristoffer and actually being able to carry on a conversation, but I really did miss the boys!! I'm so thankful for my amazing husband and had a great time celebrating our 6 years together, and am looking forward to seeing what God has planned for us!
