Happy 5th Anniversary to Us!

Today marks 5 years of wedded bliss for Zach and me. It's amazing to think back and see how far we have come and how much has changed. I am so thankful to have a husband who accepts me for who I am, loves me no matter what, and makes me feel like I am the most special person on earth. (Not to mention, he is the BEST daddy ever!)

Happy 5 years, Zach! I love you!






I saw this questionnaire on Bless Our Nest and thought it would be fun...

1. Where did you meet?

We were set up by mutual friends on a blind date. We had actually met {briefly} years before when I was in high school, and he came to my house to swim. He was my brother-in-law's (at the time), brother's best friend. Got it? :)

2. How long did you date before you were married?
A little over 3 years. {We were engaged for 2 while I was finishing school)

3. How long have you been married?
We have been married 5 years today!
4. What does he do that surprises you?

After coming home from a long day at work he changes clothes and immediately starts playing with Ella. Doesn't matter how tired he is, or how long his day was, it is always about us.
5. What is your favorite feature of his?

His legs. Is that weird??? I think he has the prettiest, muscular, long legs! Ha!

6. What is your favorite quality of his?

He is very motivated and does what he says he will. He is also a people pleaser and has this amazing way of connecting with everyone he meets in some way.
7. Does he have a nickname for you?

Manda...original, I know.

8. What is his favorite color?
Hmmm...I would guess green or brown. I'll have to ask him!

9. What is his favorite food?

Mexican food and fish.

10. What is his favorite sport?
He loves college football and baseball most, but he will watch ANY sport ANY time!

11. When and where was your first kiss?

At my front door after our 1st date...it was just a small one. :)

12. What are your favorite things to do as a couple?
Watching TV, going on vacations, going out to eat, hanging out at the house with Ella.

13. Do you have children?
Miss Ella Grace and Ranger...does that count? He was with us for 3 years before we welcomed her into our family. :)

14. Does he have a hidden talent?
He is just knowledgeable on almost every subject. No matter what is being talked about, he seems to know a little about a lot of things. It amazes me how he knows stats, or some fact about most everything. Seriously!!! {That's why I think he is able to connect with people he comes in contact with in some way.}

15. How old is he?
32!

16. Who said, "I love you" first?
He did. :) I wanted to though! ha!

Country all the way!

His strong faith and love for the Lord. He inspires me to be a better Christian. I also love the way he takes care of "his girls". We are so blessed to have him in our lives!

19. Do you think he will read this?

Maybe. Sometimes he looks over my shoulder when I am blog surfing. I even catch him looking at ours when he is on his lap top at night . :)

20. What color are his eyes?
Green

We also want to give a shout out to one of Ella's BFF's, Barrett! Happy 1st Birthday sweet boy!!!
