Three's Company

Now wouldn't that be a good way to make an announcement?? Well sorry, folks, but even though it's our third anniversary, our little family will be staying just the two of us for quite a while still. Anyway, since I will be missing our anniversary tomorrow, I thought I'd do a little blog-reminiscing beforehand!

Our wedding day was the best day of my life!! Now I know that if everything on your wedding day doesn't go perfectly smoothly, it is okay and your marriage isn't necessarily doomed. However, my wedding day was perfect and I am quite happy about that! I can't wait to come home from San Diego so Joe and I can watch our wedding video! I just love it.

Anyway, Lori did a pretty cool blog for her and Nate's anniversary a couple of weeks ago. Since imitation is the highest form of flattery, I thought I would borrow a few of her clever ideas. So, on to the numbers ... this year Joe and I are celebrating, among other things ...

17 beds we slept in during our first month and a half of marriage

10 days after being married that we bought our townhouse 2,450 miles from Utah

147 dental school exams Joe has taken

0 exams Joe has failed

1 surgery for Lindsey (2 for Joe while we were dating)

7 months in our house without a tv, watching movies on the laptop in bed

8 months spent without a heater or air conditioner in our car

3 times Lindsey cried on the way to church because she couldn't feel her toes

105 degree weather that finally drove JOE to have it fixed

162 dollars it cost us to complete the repair (we felt more foolish than relieved)

16 months Lindsey has worked since we've been married

0 months Joe has

102 minutes spent commuting to and from school together each day

1 pregnancy test (NEGATIVE)

3,600 minutes Lindsey has spent typing furiously in a law school final

226 pages of law school papers Lindsey has written

20 hours Joe drove straight through the night in the pouring rain to catch our flight to Chile

45 seconds Joe sat speechless after realizing he booked the connecting flight for pm not am

2 spiders Joe graciously killed because Lindsey was scared

22 spiders he forced her to kill herself

5.28 quesadillas Lindsey eats for dinner in an average week

246 dollars Joe spent buying meat from a door to door salesman (I woke up from a nap to boxes of frozen meat spread all over the kitchen and Joe trying to get a bargain)

0 times Joe claims he's been wrong

12 times he's actually been wrong (still not bad!)

13 married nights we've been apart

1,095 married nights we've been in love (I'm pretty sure that's all of them)

And there you are! How crazy that 3 years have already flown by. I can no longer even imagine life without Joe. I know these 3 years are just a tiny fraction of what we will experience together, and that is also crazy to think about! I love you Joe! Here are a few pictures of our time together ...
