3 Years Down...How Many More to Go???

So today is our wedding anniversary. Crazy I know. Marrying Matt was one of the happiest days of my life, the happiest being the day we moved to Cyprus (ok ok, you know I kid!) In all seriousness (or as serious as I can be really), I thought it would be fun to take a look back on the last 3 years, more really this day in the last 3 years. If you really look back on our life since we got married, you just have to go "whew! will they ever stop??" Here's a fast recap of that's happened since May 16, 2008:
Got married. Honeymoon in Punta Cana, Dominica Republic.
I (Lynsey) moved from Colorado to Tucson where Matt was stationed at the time.
April 2009, move to Beale AFB in Yuba, California.
May 2009, buy a house. Also 1 year anniversary (spent in Yuba)
January-March 2010, Matt on TDY.
May 2010, 2 year anniversary (went to Redwoods for weekend).
June-July 2010, Matt on TDY again.
September 2010, move to Cyprus.
May 2011, 3 year anniversary (spent in Cyprus with amazing trip planned for June/July).
So those are the bullet points of our last 3 years. In some respects it doesn't look that crazy-but having lived it-it is!!! I am so thankful for all that has happened to us, even though at times it has been tremendously difficult. Always being away from family is never easy but it has made our relationship that much stronger and we know that these experiences are wonderful treasures we will be able to share with our children one day. I feel like this list is a perfect visual to compliment the title of the blog-"Blessed Be:" because that is completely what we are! So the photos are what has happened in visual form (for the most part)....

May 16, 2008-wedding day! So young. So carefree-if only then we knew what laid ahead...


Honeymoon-can you tell???

Year 1-we bought this, instead of going here.....

Hawaii folks. We had originally intended on doing a funtastic trip here for our one year....

Year 2. Redwood National Forrest-it was a great weekend getaway to celebrate.

We did celebrate a little when I went to Puerto Rico to see Matt on his TDY.

Here is where we live now-Cyprus. So clear and blue. And beautiful!

Year 3. Anniversary dinner at Columbia Resort in Pissouri Bay. Oh so tasty. And lovely.

We will forever be skipping off into the unknown, together, holding hands. As long as we're together we can tackle our crazy life just fine, wherever it may take us!
