Journaling: Don’t be fooled by the photo. It’s not a photo of a pumpkin pie. It’s a photo of our pumpkin pie. Don’t think that our pumpkin pie is like other pumpkin pies. It isn’t. No ours uses a (not so) secret family recipe.. Ours is made with love and anticipation for that first bite. Best of all (and most surprising to others) it is made with real pumpkin. Not that stuff you get in a can. We buy a pumpkin, cook it and puree it to put in our pumpkin pie.

Since the last of July I have been spending every single day with my husband and son. Yeah all day with my husband! I have learned a lot about him (somethings you don’t want to learn about your spouse) and we’ve bonded again.

This layout I did back in June for RAKScraps sponsor, Amy Wolff. It was a hard and fun layout to make! I had a hard time finding photos from when my husband and I first met. Some of the photos of me are actually from a few years later but when I was still in college. Writing the journaling was interesting trying to remember all that happened. I wrote it to my husband since it is kinda an anniversary letter in a way.

Journaling: We had first met at Gaming Club in September of 1999. I was in my first year of college and you in your last year. But I didn’t really notice you until February of 2000 at Tim’s birthday party. It was like love at first site although I hadn’t realized we had met before. We got together and stuck it through your graduation and leaving. But you returned and stayed to be with me and we were married a month after I graduated on June 21, 2003. Now it’s 4 years later and we have a son. Liam has brought us even closer together than ever before and I can not imagine a life without him or you. Happy Anniversary my Love (always).
