Two Years Ago Today

Two years ago today Chad and I got married. I really can't believe that i am saying we have been married for that long, it hasn't felt like two years at all!
We spent most of the day in San Francisco. They have recently redone The Academy of Science Museum so we took a drive on over to Golden Gate Park and had a look. It was pretty neat. They have a dome inside which houses a mini rain forest. It was cool to see some interesting creatures from the rain forest, however, I was not too keen on the butterflies that were flying all around you once you reached the top floor! We saw an albino alligator named Claude, some South African penguins, and felt what an electric eels prey feels right before it is eater (a weird shock). After the museum we made our way to China Town. I think I was way more excited about this than my husband was, but he did it for me which meant a lot. Basically we walked around and checked out all of the shops. Things were a little more expensive here than they were in China, just a little bit. Luckily I have had a recent shopping spree in China so there was no need to buy anything. Just a little browsing.
The original plans were supposed to include us going the The Cheesecake Factory in San Francisco, but we found ourselves wiped out after walking through China Town. We decided to go back to San Jose and eat at The Cheesecake Factory by our house. So after a short detour to our house for a short nap, we had a delicious dinner followed by some awesome dessert. It was a fun day spent together.
So what really has changed since we got married? Well not a whole lot. We still live in our cozy little condo, which has accumulated more stuff than we had two years ago. We got Milo the cat in November making her our first baby. The same queen bed that we have been sleeping in for the past two years seems to have gotten smaller. But most importantly we have grown to love each other more than the day we married. It really is a deeper love, one that only grows stronger each day.
We both said that our honeymoon by by far the best thing we have ever done together. It might take a lot to top a vacation alone in The Bahamas. But we have enjoyed other trips to Mexico, Hawaii, and Tahoe to name a few. We talk often about buying a house, having kids, and job situation but we know that when God wants something to happen, it will. Praise the Lord for making plans for us that are far better than the ones we have planned for ourselves. Of course after this China trip, adoption is really on my mind but we will have to wait and see where God takes us on that road.
For right now we are just waiting to see what does come next. It will be fun to see what God does in our lives over the next year. So I guess there is only one thing left to say.......BRING ON YEAR 3!
