3 Years and 3 Dogs Later...

HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY!!!  Cody and I just celebrated our 3rd anniversary on March 1st!!!  Neither one of us can believe that it's already been three years...time just goes by so fast!  It has been an amazing three years and every year just seems to get better and better.  We are truly blessed to have family and friends in our lives that have shown us amazing examples of what great marriages are and what it takes for them to continue to be that way.  So, since it was our anniversary on Tuesday, we definitely had to celebrate!  We decided not to go out and just stay in and cook dinner together.  Over spring break, we are going to San Antonio on our anniversary trip to actually celebrate.  So, we just wanted to keep it low key and spend time together at home with the babies...a.k.a. dogs!  I found this great recipe from the Pioneer Women...love her!  It was cajun chicken pasta and it was sooo good!  It was spicy, but not too spicy and it had tons of different kinds of vegetables and of course pasta and chicken.  The sauce was sort-of like an alfredo sauce, but it had cajun spices in it to kick up the heat a little. I had also gotten a Groupon a couple of weeks ago from a new bakery in Abilene called Sweet Celebrations...they specialize in cupcakes.  So, I ordered 12 different kinds of cupcakes and that was what we had for dessert!  These cupcakes are soo good...we will definitely be going back for more!  It's also crazy to think that when we first got married, we just had our boxer, Sarge, who is now 6 years old.  Our first year of marriage we added Faith, who is a 2 1/2 year old chocolate lab.  And over the summer we added our next addition, Trigger, a black lab who will be 1 in June.  Now, we have three dogs (1 boy and 2 girls) and couldn't imagine life without them!  They are wild and crazy, sweet and loving, and completely spoiled rotten!  It was a great 3rd anniversary celebrating it with the family that I love more than I could even put into words!  We are so excited to see what God has in store for our future!



These are the pictures that we took on our Anniversary.  Notice the yummy ingredients that it took to make the cajun chicken pasta...and the finished product!  And then...the cupcakes...so good!  And of course Cody and I and our three sweet loves!
