Three Years of Wedded Bliss

This is how we roll.  I take the time to do fun leap year pictures, but we take our anniversary pictures in our car.  Haha.  I like it.  It was on our way to scuba diving lessons, so now I will always remember what our gift to each other was on our third wedding anniversary. 

After our scuba lessons, we ate at Denny's.  I know Denny's isn't romantic, but for us Pickerings it was perfect.  On our wedding night, we didn't have anything for dinner, so about 11:00 PM we walked to the Denny's across the street.  There were so many people there.  And the weird thing was that that day was the biggest day of our lives, and to all the people in the diner, it was just another Friday night.  So Denny's is one of our favorite wedding memories. 

When I pulled up one of our wedding pictures, I couldn't stop smiling.  Three years doesn't seem that long when compared to Silver and Golden Anniversaries.  But I am amazed at how much we have changed.  And how much our lives together have changed.  We now have moved from our honeymoon-ranch lifestyle to the lifestyle of poor college students.  We are taking on more responsibilities, paying more bills, and working harder.  We have both matured (somewhat... ok, not really), and we are both learning how to be better spouses to each other.

 It also amazes me how much we haven't changed.  Our love keeps growing stronger.  We still love to make inside jokes.  I'm still afraid of heights, and Steve is still a daredevil. We still have strong feelings towards cats (good or bad). 

I feel so blessed to have an eternal marriage to this handsome guy.  He is so sweet and good to me.  Even when he teases me and gives me a hard time about shopping and cats, I still can feel his love he has for me.  I am a lucky gal!
