Wednesday, March 23, 2011 Married: 2 years and counting...
On this day two years ago, Joey and I were in Las Vegas. We were super excited to be there with our folks + my bff. It was a split second decision we made. Two months before our wedding, we got married in Vegas. At a Howard Johnsons, with Elvis serenading us. And it was awesome.
Weird thing is, after we god married, everything felt the same. It was like we were already married and we just kinda filed the paperwork and went on with our day.
Our relationship has always been filled with signs. For example, we met on December 23rd, when Joey was 23 and got married on the 23rd of March. The number 23 seems to always pop up with us, so on this very day in Vegas it seemed only natural to play 23 at the roulette wheel. As luck would have it, that $25 chip turned into $875. How's that for luck?
So today is a very special day for us because it's like a secret in a way. Most people didn't know we were already married when they joined us in Jamaica for our wedding. It was like we got to live out two fantasy weddings.Two months later, we did this....
...and were lucky enough to have almost 100% of invites leave the country for a week and join us in a village, in Jamaica where we pretended we were at Summer camp.
It's crazy to think where you can end up with just a little fate and a vision. A lot has happened, even in two years. We unexpectedly bought this house, let our inner DIY escape , and are even starting a family this year. Our to-do list grows rapidly every single day. To be honest, I wouldn't trade it in for anything else in the world.
So today, cheers to Joey for being an incredible (and crafty!) husband. To making our house a home. And to growing old together in our beautiful home.
