Happy 10

Happy 10 year (first) wedding anniversary to us.  Stan and I got married while we were in college but didn't tell anyone.  It was our little secret.  We were already 2 years into our relationship and we knew where it was heading.  The marriage instantly made me a CA resident.  This meant I didn't have to pay out-of-state tuition.  My debt is his debt and vice versa so it just made sense.  We said we would have the diamond ring and wedding when we were not in negative dollars.  We stayed true to it and got married at my church 4 years later when we had some $$$ to do so and invited practically everyone we knew.  This "first" anniversary is my favorite because it was just about the two of us.  No big hoopla of planning a party just Stan and I heading to San Diego County Recorder's Office.  Really simple but big on love.  So happy 10th to us.

P.S.  I love you Stan.

Love,
First Gen Fam

Anniversary Weekend

I felt as if every weekend since summer started we have been so busy with errands, parties, events, etc.  This past weekend was the first in which I can say we did not do much.  It was very much needed.  No plans besides swim lessons (omg! which I have to put up a video of Maksim diving for rings, cant help but be a proud Mama).  Stan slept in Saturday and I had the pleasure of doing the same on Sunday but was woken up with some fresh coffee and a giant donut to celebrate our 6th wedding anniversary which made it alright.  Below are some pictures from our weekend.  Zoo on Friday with cousins (see funny video from there) and Seaport Village on Sunday which made me really appreciate that we live in San Diego.

Happy 6th anniversary to Stan and I.

Stan is a huge Deadliest Catch fan hence the photo with the lobster traps.

Our little pirate.  Yarrrr!

They walk and stand the same.

We have got to try this before the summer is up!

Love,
