Fruitiversary

Today marks four years of marriage for Justin and me! And today poured with rain, just like on our wedding day. Unfortunately, we are roughly 7,000 miles apart right now (as long as I did the math correct). But I am blessed to have a loving, thoughtful husband who sent me an Edible Arrangement with balloons.

My husband did some research, because the fourth anniversary is the fruit anniversary or "fruitiversary." I don't know if Justin came up with that word or if he found it somewhere, but I think it is clever. See even the arrangement has a "4" made of pineapple!

Plus, I love fruit!

I especially adore the strawberries and pineapple dipped in chocolate. The chocolate is gluten free, however it could be manufactured in a facility with gluten.

Isn't the flower adorable?

Yes, I posed with my present.

Iivana thought it was her gift. She was sniffing and smelling; I had to fend her off and explain that it was mommy's gift. I did share a strawberry with her though.

He even sent balloons; I just now realize why there are four, duh! Justin is way better at significance things than me. (Remember, I sent him $11 for his birthday.) Although for our third anniversary, I bought something leather for us.

The best part of the day was Skype-ing with him! I love you Justin, and you will be home soon. I can't wait to hug and kiss you.  

Hers and His

Did you know leather is the gift of the third anniversary? Justin suggested we buy a leather couch for our anniversary which was in July. But when we went to look at them, we decided on the original one I had spotted which was made from a microfiber. 

No worries though, I made sure we had a leather remembrance piece. I found these his and hers leather wine charms on Etsy. I gave them to Justin on our anniversary staycation.

They managed to stay hidden in the suitcase, until Justin found them because he had to empty the suitcase so we could pack for a night over the weekend. So the wine charms were finally emptied out of the suitcase. We had our niece and nephews for the weekend and took them to El Tropicano for one of the nights (remember the Groupon!)

We stayed at our house Friday night and went to the hotel Saturday night. This picture is one of my favorites from the weekend! Notice the bowl sizes, corresponding to the size of the person.

Back to the wine charms...

Lately we've been enjoying a glass of wine before bed and these wine charms are working perfect! I've also started collecting all the wine corks. When we have enough, I see a new project in the future.

Back to the weekend...

It was tons of fun spoiling our niece and nephews but we were exhausted. We definitely enjoyed a glass of wine last night and tonight!
