Growing a Crow: Celebrating 3 years of our Happily Ever After!

Nathan and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary. We were lucky to have Kendrick join us on our 2 day getaway. The entire time we were traveling one of us would always be saying "I'm so glad that little boy is with us. I love having him here." We feel so so blessed to have our little man and he just added to joy of celebrating 3 years.

We have a goal to try and do something outdoors each year. Usually it is hiking, but this year we decided to explore the Ocean. We went to Astoria and then Cannon Beach, OR. The only complaint about our entire trip was that our Motel room smelled like cigarette smoke :( It was very disheartening because it was a non-smoking facility and the pictures online of the place were deceiving.

In Astoria we went across a 4.5 mile bridge and then went thrift store shopping. I love looking in all the shops. Nate was the one to find some awesome deals though. He got $3 polarized sunglasses, a Frisbee, and a boomerang. Because this was a day before our actual anniversary we picked out some fun cards in one of the stores and just read them to each other. I think it is a tradition we will do each year. It is cheap entertainment and a fun way to read lots of cards without having to purchase them.

After a day on our feet we then drove to Cannon Beach where we ate dinner on the sand and planned to watch the sunset. Kendrick was a happy babe being outside all day and once a few bubbles were worked out he quickly fell asleep in my arms. Nate and I enjoyed watching the waves and water, but sadly the sky was to cloudy to see the sun. We did see a speck of it shine through for a few minutes but mostly it was a white sky. Nate was really looking forward to me seeing the sun set on the Ocean so we will have to plan a beach day again sometime.

Happy 3 years to the love of my forever!!
