A few weeks ago we headed off to San Francisco to celebrate three years of marriage. We stayed at the Sir Frances Drake which was such a cool hotel and it had an amazing location just steps from Union Square. We spent our first day exploring and shopping along Market St. and eating amazing food! We took a trolly car to Fishermans Wharf the second day and walked all the way to the bridge. We passed the amazing Fine Arts Museum, Ghiredelli Factory, walked through Fort Mason and ate some delish clam chowder by the water. The third day I got pretty sick and we had to catch our flight home that evening so we headed out to little Italy to spend time at the park, eat at an amazing little Italian Bakery and roam the little shops in North Beach before heading home. MAN, did we miss Marley girl!

3 Year Anniversary: A letter to the love of my life

Today my husband and I are San Francisco bound to celebrate three years of marriage! Happy Anniversary to the man of my dreams. 
Bryan, 
     These three years have both flown by and stood still. I feel like It was just yesterday we were listening to music and talking on your sailboat and I still feel that same thrill when you hold my hand or lean over to kiss me. I am still captivated by your heart and the flip of your hair, except my love for you has grown exceedingly more since then. I remember a three hour conversation on the beach that first week we met when you said you want a marriage that is so tied together with love and bound by God that you won't be able to find where your wife ends and where you begin. How is it possible that I feel like we have already accomplished this in three short years? It seems like we have been married for a lifetime because we have grown and changed so much together and I can't remember my life without you. I cant remember the person I was before you and I am so thankful that I never have to again. 
     I have watched you become a man, husband and an amazing father all at the same time and you have amazed me. We have been through things some couples have never had to go through and I would do it a million times over again and every single time I would choose to run away with you... again and again and again. We learned lessons in those first few months that will help us exponentially in our journey through forever together. We learned to fight for each other and defend the love we have. We learned to love even the ugliest sides of each other. We learned that God always provides. We learned how to communicate amazingly and talk our way through some tough things. We learned how to always put each other and our little family first over anything else. We have learned that hardship builds strength and unity and that God always brings something good from it (and in our case he brought soooooo much good!!). You have shown me an entirely different side of God and his provision and love for us. You have shown me an entirely different side of love and its perseverance, kindness and patience.
     We've done so much in these three years. We've gone from living on your sailboat, to the extended stay, to that one bedroom [gas leak] apartment, to our little 3 bedroom town home, to this 5 bedroom house. We've traveled up the coast a few times to Santa Barbara and a few other coastal cites and now to San Francisco. We've been to Arizona, Nevada, to the mountains and the desert and every beach in California. Where you go, I will go and I'd follow you to a cardboard house or to a yert in the middle of nowhere. We've gotten three dogs, a bunny, a turtle and a fish. We've experienced the greatest joy in the world through having our baby girl together and have watched her grow more like each of us every day. We're in this together and I could not have dreamed a better person to travel through life with. You are my best friend, the love of my life and my partner in crime. You are my rock, my soft place to land, my shoulder to cry on and my most happy place. Thank you for everything you have given me and for loving me like you do. Happy Anniversary Bryan Thrane, I love you more than I could ever express.

feelin crafty

Marley's been going through little mood swings lately, whether its because she isn't getting enough sleep or whether it's just normal ups and downs from the terrible two's but it has been so discouraging to go through entire days at a time where she just cries, whines and grumps around. So yesterday when she woke up and was her normal, vibrant little self I was so happy!! We spent our day in the sunshine making all kinds of crafts for her room. She helped me glue and pick fabrics and paint chip colors between all her own little doodles and drawings.

rainy day

We spent the last few gloomy rainy days making cardboard clubhouses and splashing in puddles between downpours. I made Marley a monster hood for a birthday party she's going to and how freaking adorable does she look?


Pizza party

My friend Kayla and sister in law Juli came over to hang out the other night and we had a blast making our own pizzas and being crazy. Its so refreshing to be around these girls!

Saturday we went to Live Oak Park in Fallbrook with my parents and Marley met a little friend named Rosie that she followed around everywhere! My mom made a delish dinner and we watched a movie later that night.
