why i love the number 3

A couple weeks ago Ryan and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary! We went on our first date during the 3rd month of the year. 3 months after that we became engaged. 3 months later we were married for eternity. Now 3 years later there are 3 members of our family. The number three is sure a great one!

We spent a couple of nights in Vegas at a resort that Ryan booked (for fun without me knowing) through Bass Pro Shop. Originally it was for a place in Tennessee last April, but since I was 7-ish months pregnant, I really didn't feel like flying. He moved the reservations to somewhere a bit closer and made sure that it would be the weekend after our anniversary. He's so sweet!

I glad that Evelyn slept well in a strange place. She had just regularly started to sleep over 6 hours at night, which is great! I was a little concerned that the trip might upset her new schedule, but she did fine. She isn't a big fan of riding in the car after dark though. Overall she was her sweet, beautiful self.

Here are a few pictures, most taken inside of the Bass Pro shop there (go figure), and some of the new bridge to replace the driving access that Hoover Dam gives to and from Nevada. We didn't do much as far as seeing shows or anything. Even with the little bit of homework that Ryan brought along we really enjoyed getting away to spend some time together and relax. It feels like yesterday that we kissed over that sacred alter. Time goes by faster when you spend it with those you love, and I wouldn't spend it any other way.

Salt water tank in BPS. Evelyn loved watching the fish!

Awesome leopard-looking ray and a shark.


Duh duh... duh duh... duh duh... It has to be fake.
