Marriage is one of those experiences, decisions, sacrifices, blessings---
a "thing" that is impossible to universally define or explain through words.
It is unique to each 'couple' giving them their own experience together.

I have been blessed to be married to Mr. Pendleton for 3 years.
In celebrity style, that is a lifetime. In "reality" and/or with our eternal perspective,
it is just a slight niche in the endless ring.
Yet, these past few years I have grown closer to the love of my life.
Our 3 year stats:
-- helped Hubby finish his BS degree in Communications. Ya buddy:)
-- lived in 3 states
-- lived in 6 different homes
-- drove 7 different cars
-- gave birth to 1.5 children (Second peanut due 10/22/2011)
-- Went on three cruises
-- made cross country drive twice
-- and experienced a ton of laughter, a few tears, but mostly delight.
The 3rd year modern gift is {LEATHER}.
Therefore, I planned a little western themed dinner.
Since we moved to Cedar, we have been missing one of our favorite restaurants--
TEXAS ROADHOUSE.
So I tried to recreate the food and atmosphere.
I even had Mr. P get dressed in his western duds... boots and all.
The menu-- Steak, corn on the cob, rolls, green salad, and mashed potatoes.
The activity-- Miniature golf
(not really western, but horseback riding is a pretty penny and not very toddler friendly)
Attendees-- Mr. P, myself + bun in the oven, and our cute ball girl.

We talked about our 10 year anniversary.
The plan: James will blindfold me and take me all the way to fiji or some other tropical oasis.
But this year when Mr. P got blindfolded, he knew exactly where we were going because Cedar City is so small that it only has 3 exits off the interstate.
He did think I was taking him to the gas station across the street, so it was kinda surprising to pull down the scarf and see a golf course over run by weeds.
***The best part was spending time with my sweet family...
and the mister sleeping on the foot of the bed facing north. Love you.
Thank you for always doing the small things that matter the most.

Did you find a copycat recipe for the rolls? I saw one just the other day and want to try them! Looks like you had a fun anniversary and are living it up in Cedar City :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't.... but if you have the recipe I would love it. I just made some from rhodes rolls. We are having a good time... still settling in:)
