4 Years!

WOW! I cannot believe that 4 years have already gone by since John and I said our wedding vows! I feel like time is in warp speed. Soon we will also pass our 10 year dating mark! Crazy. We also said after we got married we were planning on kids after about 5 years (which would mean we should try soon)- HAH! I'm still saying 5 years ;D I guess I just didnt realize how fast 4 years would go and how young I would still feel! :D 

This year our anniversary landed on a week night, so we decided to make dinner and celebrate at home and then do something on the weekend. John surprised me by getting off work a little early and taking me to lunch! We indulged in some sushi, since we both had been craving it for awhile. :D After lunch, John surprised me with an anniversary cake at home. It was just like our wedding cake- red velvet. He is the sweetest man I know. 

After I got of work, I got started on dinner. I made steak, asparagus with hollendaise sauce, roasted potatoes, grilled squash, and some of my favorite wine. It was seriously scrumptious. We may have also had another piece of cake after dinner;D. After dinner, we went into the man room to get ready to watch the Heat game. But first, John surprised me with the raw footage from our wedding video! We had never seen it and I didnt even know he had captured it. So we watched parts of the footage and it was so nice to relive that day. It was also neat to hear some of the conversations that were going behind scenes! haha. For one of the angles that was shot- John had his mic on and we could hear everything he said before the ceremony and during. lol! He was TOO sweet. Afterwards, we watched the Heat win the National Championship for us! ;D It was beyond exciting! 
CAKE!

 Carter was so funny- he could hear us on the video and was a little confused. He watched the whole time with us. haha (we are doing the sand ceremony in the background)

That weekend we decided to go parasailing and do a wine/brew tour for our anniversary (we had groupons, of course!). Parasailing was a no go- the weather was awful and apparently you need a reservation with the groupon about a month in advance :(. Sunday was a little nicer so we went to Homestead to visit the Schnebly Winery and Brewery. It was SO much fun and gorgeous! First we did the beer tasting and then the tour. It was interesting to hear how they brew since we just started ourselves. Their brewery is the most southern one and has only been open since March. Next, we got some lunch- pulled pork catered by a local restaurant. It was really good! Then we did the wine tasting and tour. All very interesting. For the wine tour, we actually had a Schnebly give it! He was a little crazy, but a lot of fun. We learned a lot from both tours and really enjoyed ourselves. Both their wine and beer are made with fruit and unique for sure. Here are some pictures:
Beautiful!

Our anniversary was awesome. I am so blessed to have this man in my life. I really do love him more and more each day :D Cant wait to see what this year has in store for us!
