6 years! Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 |

This past weekend Jesse and I celebrated our 6 year wedding anniversary!  It's also special because its our 5 year anniversary of when we got our furry love child Pup Face.  Have you heard the story of how we got her?  WELL, wait no longer!  Your dreams are coming into fruition!

For our one year anniversary Jesse told me that we were going to get engagement style photos taken of us since he was deployed for pretty much the entire time we were engaged.  We drove up to the a very remote part of the North Shore on Oahu and pulled up to this crazy shack that was owned by hoarders.  I thought "he is CRAZY and there is NO WAY I am going into that house, let along taking pictures amongst their hoarded goods!"  That's when I heard all the Pomeranian puppies barking and realized the past year of begging Jesse for a puppy had worked!  Turns out the puppies were being held in a shed outdoors, and this puppy purchase turned into a rescue mission.  Pup Face was about the size of a hamster at this point and adorable.  She was the only orange puppy in the litter, and I knew she was the one when I saw her  cute little foxy face.  Now 5 years later, my sidekick puppy is sitting in my lap, still super cute and foxed face, cuddling up with her soon to be baby brother (who is taking up most of the lap space).

This year for our anniversary we went BIG.  And by big I mean totally what you would expect us to do and SO fun!  We went to the exotic/delicious Chipotle and then out to see "Bridesmaids".  The movie is HILARIOUS by the way and I highly recommend it.  The rest of the weekend was spent hanging out on the beach where I have now achieved the title of tannest pregnant lady EVER.  In fact, at my Doctor's appointment today there were little questions about how the baby and I were doing, but how I got so tan.  Speaking of the little one, everything went perfectly well at the appointment.  His heartbeat was excellent, my blood pressure is great, and I have put on another 1/2 a pound.  Only 9 weeks left!

This weekend Jesse get's his first 4 day weekend off in a year and we are heading to Washington D.C. to meet up with our good friends: The Deerr family Frank, Jennifer, their new baby Violet, and John Kim.  As always, our trusty guard dog Pup Face will be with us :)

Happy Memorial Day!!
