4 years!

Jake and I have been married for 4 years today! Holy crap! And due to Ryan's recent arrival, I barely remembered that today was our anniversary. I doubt very much that it's even on Jake's radar. That's okay. He'll feel guilty.

Ryan is very awake this morning...

I can't believe that it's been 4 years. Seems long and short, like always. I'm already making plans for 5 years next year, when Ryan is 1 and can handle a weekend with Grandma and Grandpa while Mom and Dad maybe take a weekend trip somewhere fun. We'll, I'm dreaming of doing that anyway. Making plans might be stretching it.

I'm trying to think of something simple to get Jake today, but I don't know if anything will come to me. Once mom gets here this morning and I get a nap in, I'll probably take an hour and run over to Target and then to the grocery store by myself. And it will probably be amazing. But, I should probably make sure that Ryan has something to eat while I'm gone. Just in case he freaks out hungry while I'm out.

I wish I had more to say on this day about marriage and all that, but my mind is totally destroyed by baby stuff. And by baby stuff, I mean, lack of sleep. Being married is good. The first year in the hardest (especially if you haven't lived together before) and after you get past that first year, things seem to get easier, IMO. But, Jake and I lived through the most ridiculous first year any couple could have probably have. So, after that, everything seems easier, no matter what, because it's not as bad as Fall 2005 through Spring 2006.

I'd really like to go to upper Michigan next year. I've never been up that way, and it looks pretty good. Plus, they have cherries. :)
