The Most Awesome Anniversary Gift

Tuesday was mine and Sarah's 2nd anniversary. For her birthday last month, I bought her the complete Gilmore Girls series, so I toned it down a little bit for our anniversary. Sarah is a closet Harry Potter fan (I like outing her when I can ;-) ), so I bought her her very own Monster Book of Monsters plush book (as seen in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban). Guess what...that wasn't the most awesome anniversary gift though. Her gift to me was.
For the last few months, Sarah has been sneaking around behind my back taking pictures of different things and places from my past and hers. These include places at North Greenville, Converse, Summerville (yes, she drove to Summerville and back in a day just to take some pictures), Awanita, and others. Now, her friend Jen was going with her, and Jen is an avid photographer, so I figured her trips had something to do with pictures, but I just figured Sarah was putting together a photo album. That's not what it was! She actually spent hours on the computer organizing these photos and whatnot, and had them PUBLISHED IN A BOOK called "The Life of the Eudoxus."

HOW TOTALLY AWESOME IS THAT!!!

MY WIFE IS THE GREATEST!

Thanks, Sarah. I love you!!!

Anniversary

So, yesterday was mine and Sarah's two year anniversary. I finished student teaching last Friday, so we decided we'd take a mini-vacation from Saturday to yesterday. It was a pretty good vacation, only Sarah and I don't really feel like we got to relax much. We stayed at the Patricia Grand Hotel in Myrtle Beach. It's an older resort, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I think they still had the original bed in our room. It was quite possibly the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept on. But wait, there's more...
As we drove down I-20, Sarah commented that there were a lot of motorcycles on the road. As we passed Darlington, we realized that there was a race there this weekend, so we figured that's where all of the motorcycles were headed. Guess what...we were wrong. That's right. We stayed in Myrtle Beach, on the Grand Strand, during Bike Week. Motorcycles running until about 3:00 in the morning. That part was not fun at all.
As if that wasn't enough, I was sick the whole time. BLAH!
All in all, however, we had a good vacation. We got to spend time with our good friends Will and Diana and their new baby son Wyatt, and got to spend time together. And I think that's what makes a vacation a vacation. Getting to spend time with the love of your life. That's worth putting up with the world's worst bed and loudest bikes.
Anyway, we're back in town. Time to get back to regular life.
