happy (late) anniversary!

so, yesterday was allen's and my 4 year anniversary....i can't believe it's already been that long! it seems so fast and slow at the same time. we have had a baby (who's pretty awesome), moved to kentucky, and yes..i'm still STILL in school! but we are happy. life definitely takes us down roads we don't always expect, but i kind of like the mystery. i don't want my life to be all planned out and i don't want to know what is going to happen. allen and i have decided we are just going to go with the flow as far as our future is concerned. i know lots (if not most) people want to buy that ultra-nice little 3 bedroom house with the cute backyard, plan playdates, have the perfect job...that is not us. so what? we're weird. part of me would love to have my own home....maybe...one day. but allen and i just think there is so much life to be lived everywhere else too. we'll probably end up in Timbucktoo, but i think we are ok with that. when we got married we talked about our dreams and hopes for our life, and though it's not exactly how we've planned it, it's pretty cool and i'm happy. sometimes i think God throws a wrench into our plans so that we can realize it's not all about us in the first place. and yes, i'm pretty sure He has a great sense of humor sometimes. but all that to say that even though we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into four years ago, it has helped make us who we are today. i hope to have many more years with my hubby because he is awesome!

oh and did i mention, he took me to the FAIR lastnight????? i haven't been since i was nine, so i was more than stoked to be able to go!! and we had a blast!!! ate lots of junk and saw lots of stinky animals. and old rides that i rode when i was a kid. so fun!
