Day 150 Happy Anniversary Mike

Yesterday was my wedding anniversary. What a wonderful day.

This is a blog post I made the day after we got married.

5 days ...
Five days... 5 days can seem like a life time or so very short. You can waste 5 days doing nothing or you could spend 5 days deciding to get married, flying for the first time, landing in a state you have never been in, going to a road side stand in Tijuana and having tacos. In 5 days you could try mahi mahi, you could hold a crab in your hand and worry that it will pinch. You could see your first sea urchin, you could rent your first car, you could learn to speak very broken spanish. In 5 days you could stand on a beach in San Diego, barefoot at sunset holding the man of your dreams hands and saying I do. All without a care in the world, the smell of salt water in your nose. The feeling of having sandy grains under your feet all while waves crash against the rocks behind you.

If you haven't figured it out yet, Thursday night after a long discussion with my mother I realized that I just wanted to marry the man I love, the man also known as my best friend. It didn't matter when, where, or how I just wanted it to happen. Jokingly we talked about eloping, then suddenly light bulbs went off in our heads and we said... ya know that isn't such a bad idea. So Friday Mike frantically searched and called me with the news... we could pull it off, we were going to San Diego to get married.

Today was the day... March 26th at approx. 6:30pm I married Michael James Lyon. I am now Mrs. Lyon.

I could not be happier. He has made all my dreams come true and I am looking forward to a wonderful life with him.

Don't anyone be offended only 3 people knew we were coming here. Mikes parents dont even know. More later...


Thank you, Honey, for a WONDERFUL Anniversary, I love you more today than I did that day. You've forever changed my life for the better.

Isn't he the most handsome man ever? He hates when I take his picture but he's so darn photogenic.



The eyes... I still get lost in them every time I look at him.






Finally a cute picture, the kids wanted to make Mike and I brownies for our anniversary. I bit the bullet and let them do it all by themselves. They were... a very thoughtful gift. :)

Day 137 VW at it's best!

We were going out of town when I spied this out of our rear view mirror. I LOVE these old vans! I turned around in my seat and shot these out of our rear window while Mike drove.

62/365 Saturday December 27th.

I wonder if Tesla had won out over Edison, if this picture would have ever been possible.



Day 61 of 365 More of On the Road Series

From the day after Christmas. We went looking for "deals". We didn't find any, but it started to rain and I got some neat pictures.

Taken through the front of our rainy windshield.




If you would have told me 6 months ago I'd pay this for gas I would have laughed at you.

More pictures from our drive home Christmas Day.

59/365 Sick Day

Christmas Eve came and went with Mike, Peyton and I all in bed. We all ended up with a bout of flu.

Needless to say I didn't take any pictures that day. So my Christmas day post will be a two day post. You'd think that my Christmas day post would be full of present opening, but no. I accidentally deleted those pictures so all I have from that day is our drive home from Wisconsin.

So here we have another part of the On the Road Series.
Not all of these are taken out the window obviously but they are taken in the car and we are moving.



I almost never let the kids have soda, let alone any with caffeine in it. So he thinks he's really getting away with something here.









53/365 New On the Road Series

After spending several hours on the road I decided to start taking pictures.

Especially on our treks to and from Wisconsin I am always seeing all kinds of shenanigans that I think, I should snap a picture of that.

So I've decided to start a new series entitled so appropriately the "On the Road" series. These pictures will all be taken while driving down the road from inside the car. Not the optimal conditions for shooting, but it has proven fun.

*In case your worried I am NOT the driver.*

Enjoy the first batch of the series. These were all taken going between 65-75 mph on 294 through Illinois.

This plane was on approach for a landing as we passed ORD. My husband is much better at the "name the plane" game but it looks like a Delta MD 80. I'm sure he will correct me on this later.

*Edit! He did indeed correct me, it's a United CRJ. Isn't my face red.



Southbound traffic, I was very thankful that we were in the Northbound.
