1.7 years!

It's been SO busy since baby has arrived. Well actually let me say this- busy but at the same time life has slowed down. Having baby is THE best thing for us- she is pure joy and we look forward to waking up to her smiling face. Everything is done the same, but it just takes extra planning and extra time... with all of that our date nights have fallen to the waste side :(

Until tonight! with the colder weather and fall harvest right around the corner, I wanted to try and get out with just Aaron to have a fun night out.

Today he woke up to find this invite {with an RSVP by 2pm} in his work case.

The invite idea was taken from my crafty friend lindsay- I loved the idea of an actual home made invite/rsvp idea. It makes date night a little bit more official. :)

Check back soon to see what we did on our 1 year and 7 month date night... can you believe that our two year.... TWO YEAR wedding anniversary is ONLY 5 months away!?

1 year and 4 months!

I have TOTALLY been slacking on the anniversary updates, but here is what we've been up to the last few months:

Feb:

 March:

 

April:

May:

June:

With baby 'A's due date just around the corner, we have been taking it easy for date nights- we spent a lot of time March-May working on the nursery and currently I have been spending a lot of time nesting. Baby could arrive anyday!!

And tonight, with it being date night- I have rented three movies {can't decide which one to watch just yet} and we will be grilling steak & baked potatoes with steamed broccoli! yummmy!

1 YEAR!

It's here... our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!

With it being a Sunday we've had a pretty relaxed and low key day so far, and we have a pretty calm evening ahead. That's what being pregnant on your Anniversary gets you. ;)

All of which is perfect! Although I will miss a glass {or few} of wine tonight and my high energy levels- I wouldn't want it to be any other way. I will be back soon to share more in detail of how we spent our day together.

I am also VERY close to closing the books on this blog. I never did get around to doing any wedding day recaps- mostly because I did that on our everyday blog back in March 2010. You never know, I may still copy and paste a few posts here, just to have them all in one place- we'll see. :)

xoxo, The Sonneks

11 months!

oh. my. gosh. 

I wish that we could be right back here again, RIGHT NOW!

This MN cold is unbearable- if only a vacation were in our upcoming plans...

Unfortunately, there is no tropical getaway for us this year- but we do have fun plans to remodel our main upstairs bathroom- which might be just as fun. OK NOT REALLY... but I have to think so or else I will develop some degree of seasonal depression!

Here's to 11 months! Tonight we will be headed out into the BITTER cold for a movie and maybe Hibachi dinner at Osaka!

10 Months!

The countdown to ONE year is on! I can't believe that we are here already and fastly approaching the new year- and among other things we have Christmas this week!

This year we just celebrated Christmas with The Schlomkas this past weekend; 12/18 & 19
We will spending time in Minn Lake with The Sonneks/Evensons/Millers for the weekend, 12/24-26
Then to wrap up our Holiday celebrations, we will have Christmas at our home with The Ertles & The Manns on 1/1/11

Happy Holidays!!

* 9 Months!

3/4 of a year, it's SO crazy that we are already here!

I remember at this time last year we were getting SUPER SUPER excited for our wedding which was ONLY 3 short month away- now was are ONLY 3 short months away from our 1 year Anniversary!

Tonight we are having "double" date night with the Thomas' {who were with us to celebrate in Cabo} at Smalley's BBQ in Stillwater, MN . We're looking forward to this Caribbean/pirate themed restaurant!

* 8 years!

Even though Aaron and I now have our Wedding Anniversary of 2.20.10 to celebrate we can't let the date of Nov 17th slip away....

11.17 is our "Dating" Anniversary, I mean... without this date there could be no 2.20! So I thought it would be fun to put up an 8 picture collage of the two of us- just a few fun pictures that I love of us together! :)

8 months!

8 months, really!?

well- where in the WORLD has the month of October gone?? We will never know.

For last night's date night and we enjoyed two huge, fat and juicy rib eye steaks on the grill :P

{p.s. 8 months yesterday, this post is one day late b/c Blogger was having issues with pictures last night}

7 Months!

It's that in between time for us. Meaning...

Summer is ending and Fall is here... which means that Fall Harvest is right around the corner! Aaron will be home in Minn Lake almost every weekend helping in the fields. His MOST favorite time of year.

We have had a couple weekends of "our plans" we have been to a couple weddings, we still have a couple more weddings... and we are just enjoying what married life has brought to us.

Tonight is date night-
we will enjoy a night out to dinner at Mi Casita! yummmm
