Six Years

January 6, 2013 | Disney, family

 

Six years ago yesterday, I married my best friend.

Check out my four year anniversary post for a recap of sorts from the big day.

I say this every year but wow time keeps passing so quickly. It’s funny to think back to that day, how you plan and plan for this day and when it was all said and done I just wanted to have a great time celebrating with my friends and family, and I don’t even remember what our centerpieces looked like or what kind of flowers were in the bridesmaids bouquets. My wedding was a fairytale, and I am so lucky I got to have such a great one with my prince charming. I have already started bugging Bobby about a ten year vow renewal in Disney World. Oh yes, it’s on my friends.

I may not have had a Disney wedding but we did have fireworks!

Bobby and I had a lazy day yesterday watching football then we stopped by a neighbors after the holiday, holiday party before going out to a nice dinner at our favorite spot on the gulf coast right across from the water, Half Shell Oyster House.

Heading to the party then dinner

Waiting for our delicious dinner

Best chocolate martini ever!

A low key day and weekend was just what we needed to recharge to get us through the next few crazy days before we leave for marathon weekend in Disney. Great way to celebrate!

QOTD: Do you go all out on your anniversary or is it not a big thing? What about birthdays?

    It goes back and forth for us, but we actually haven’t gotten to spend the last two, almost three anniversaries together. 2nd-moved out of state (and I lived in two states commuting three hours back and forth for 4 months), 3rd- he worked a 12 hour shift at a prison and 4th- he was at a wedding rehearsal the entire day. Oh well, I guess the real accomplishment is not killing each other again for another year! We also don’t do anything for birthdays because we both work and live away from any family or friends.
    Looks like you had a good time though! Enjoy your short period of rest until Goofy!

    Happy anniversary! The photos from your wedding are gorgeous. How old were you when you got married? I forget sometimes how in the South people tend to get married much earlier than here in the North.

    Happy Anniversary! Jason and I sometimes go out. We definitely celebrated 10th more than we did this year for 12th. But we still made a nice meal in.

    Happy Anniversary!!! We just celebrated 11 years in May! We try to celebrate every year by at least going out to dinner. Once kids come along it gets a lot harder! 🙂

    Happy Anniversary! I so want a Disney vow renewal but it’s so expensive–wow! We don’t go all out for our anniversaries–we always have good intentions and even find overnights for the kids, but then we end up ordering pizza and watching football. This year is the big 15 so we are going to make more of an effort!

    • Heather says

      January 7, 2013 at 7:08 pm

      Aw I hope you get to do something fun!

    Happy Anniversary! As someone six months away from my wedding, I really appreciate the advice to focus on the big picture. 🙂

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️ 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨

Not sure how this happened, but time snuck up on me and now I have an 11 year old. 🥹
We couldn’t think of a more fun place to celebrate that on Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island in the Bahamas.

She started the day with presents, then hours and hours in the sun on the island, followed by cake and singing at dinner, the tween club, and fireworks at sea! (They were for pirate night but we said they were birthday fireworks!) 

Happy birthday to the most fierce, kind, competitive, loyal, funny, and beautiful little girl I know. 🩷 Never change who you are and stop growing up so fast! So. Blessed to have the best title there is, Emma Kate’s mom. 💖
