on the small stuff

Yesterday was our 6 month wedding anniversary. And I know what you're thinking...that is so middle school of her to be celebrating months! 

And to you I say, Psssh yes. (ooo, burn!) I am celebrating monthiversaries because we celebrate by drinking some wine and eating chocolate lava cakes. I am always looking for a good excuse to celebrate with wine and any excuse is a good excuse when you need an excuse. 

But let's look into this a little more closely. Everybody celebrates the big anniversaries. The years. Everybody celebrates the big days like birthdays. But how many people celebrate the little things?  Little things like monthiversaries and first dates and Freddie's been in Chucktown a year. By the way, we did celebrate the whole Freddie's been here a year thing and it just so happened to fall on the same date as our first kiss. Two little birds with one stone glass of champagne.

When I made some comment about being that girl that posts monthiversary updates on all social media sites one of my friends pointed out that it is, in fact, something worth celebrating since it is 4 or 5 times as long as Kim Kardashian (or B Spears) was married.

And that is definitely cause enough for celebrations and wine. 

So today I challenge you to celebrate all the small stuff, too. Celebrate the first kiss. Celebrate the I love you's. Celebrate another month because all those little months add up to the big ones, didn't ya know?

Happy 6 months and a day, Mr. Frederick!

This is just another reason why I love you! I think celebrating the little things is just as important, if not more so, than the big stuff!! I'm so glad you look at life that way! :) happy 6 months and a day you two!!

Ps- are we taking chocolate lava cakes from Dominos pizza??! If so, Caleb used l worked there in college and would bring me back one like every night! It was heaven. They are so good frozen!!

I love celebrating our "monthiversaries". :) We haven't hit the one year of wedded bliss yet, so I have to have some reason to pop some bubbly!

Yes, Yes, Yes! For the first couple months of marriage, Lamar and I would celebrate the monthiversaries. And then we celebrated again recently for our 6 month. I think it's amazing and fun! And you know what? God thinks it's amazing, too. I think when you celebrate the little things, you're celebrating life.

Happy 6 monthiversary!
