Four Things That Make Me Happy Today

1. I have officially lost 45 pounds of the weight I gained while being pregnant. I have met one of my weight goals so now for my reward I am going to buy some workout clothes!!! I am SO happy with myself!!

2. Looking at adorable Beckett. Yesterday he just stared at me while I was on the computer. Every time I would look over at him he got this humongous grin on his face. It melted my heart again and again.

3. Era uma vez um homen de neve. (There once was a man of snow). I have learned my first official song in Portuguese! When we went to the DI the other night, we found the Children's hymns in Portuguese. I now know "Once There Was a Snowman". Ryan is a great teacher and the CD is a great supplement. When Beckett starts primary he will wonder why everyone is singing the wrong words to the songs.

4. We have started planning what we will do to celebrate five wonderful years of marriage. I am so happy I married Ryan. I still remember how I felt the day we were married. I felt (and still feel) complete pure joy that I finally got him and could be with him forever and ever.

When is your anniversary again?!!! I need to go look at my calender...........I didn't think it was coming up.
Glad you and Ryan are together. You two are so darn cute together. (and even cuter with your new addition!!)

Babe, that's the sweetest post. I still can't believe I married such a sweet babe. And I'm so proud of everything you're accomplishing (from becoming a pro photo-editor/photographer and reaching your weight-goals to learning Portuguese and being a fantastic mother. I love you.
