Last year Jordan and I had a pretty low-key second anniversary. I documented our day in pictures, which you can check out here if you so desire.
This year, we decided that now that we're a really old married couple, we should continue the trend of low key. A trip to the black hills of South Dakota and a visit to Mount Rushmore is in the works for this fall (yay!), but for now we decided a staycation was the best option for our days-off-work availability and our budget. I also didn't want to confuse anyone by actually having something to put in the travel category of this month's Project 12 post.
Ahem.
Anyhoo,
The day of our third anniversary looked like this:
The alarm clocked buzzed extra early so we could hit up the local iHop for breakfast before work. Because that's how we do it in Oklahoma. Classy. (This is also what we did last year.)
Hash browns, scrambled eggs, and biscuits and gravy for Jordan. He'll always be an Oklahoma boy.
Fun fact: In the middle of breakfast, he sprinted to the bathroom and was in there for so long that the waitress came by and asked if he'd left me. Not joking.
She literally said, "Did he leave you?" To which I said, "Yes," and then promptly burst into tears. Okay, I am joking about the tears part. But she did ask me that. It was awkward.
After breakfast, we both headed to work.

At lunch, I read my book and then took a car nap. Brilliant idea, car naps are.
When we got home, we exchanged gifts.
And by gifts, I mean I gave Jordan nothing, and he gave me a lime squeezer he picked up at Walmart earlier that day because "he was thinking of me."
That guy.
We actually did exchange cards, which is a yearly Valentine's Day and wedding anniversary tradition. No gifts, just cards.
Then we got Johnny Carino's (Italian) and stopped for cupcakes. Johnny Carino's catered our wedding reception, and we also had a cupcake stand at our reception. We didn't even think about the similarity until after we ordered, but we're pretending that we totally thought about it in advance and planned it that way.
And then.
Then while we ate pasta, we watched my favorite actor beat up on bad guys in my favorite movie series.
So that's how we spent our third anniversary. It was a "good day."
See what I did there?
Couch selfie!
We're both glowing for some reason. It's either the lamp or the love beams sprouting from our hearts.
I'm going with love beams.
A week later, we used a gift card to hit up PF Chang's for an actual grownup anniversary date, wherein I showed the waiter my grownup ID and ordered a mojito. Because yum.
Cheers to year four!
