Things are looking up!

I think it's being determined that 2013 actually IS the year of the Cohens!  So far so good!  First things first, today is our 4 year anniversary.  It was this time 4 years ago that my bridesmaids and I were at the Crowne Plaza getting dolled up, my flowers came and were not cute and my mother in law made Josh go yell at the florist (ha!), we had sushi delivered (by the request of Sus and Nicole to Josh) and I was wearing a tank top in February!  The weather was amazing.  Pretty sure it was almost 70 degrees that day.  The day was perfect.  I was unusually calm.  I think people thought I was going to dart because I was oddly calm.  Nope! Walked down the aisle crying the entire way (those pics are really great...).  Rick sang beautifully...everyone cried again.  The ceremony was candle-lit and gorgeous and then we had one hell of a party! Good times!!!  Unfortunately Josh is never home on our anniversary.  I don't even know how we ended up getting married on this day because every job he's ever had has their annual sales meeting over this week!  How we didn't put that together I"ll never know, but that was the one year his sales meeting had been moved to the week after so we thought it was a great idea.  haha!  Silly kids :) Here are basically the only two wedding pictures I like...the photography was something that I wish we had done differently, but at least we have pics!

 

 

I love him :) My friend, Danielle, suggested I should alter my wedding dress into a little white dress and wear on a fancy date or something.  I LOVE that idea!  I would love even more if I could alter it and wear it for a vow renewal!  We might do that for our 5 year anniversary, actually.  Take an awesome vacation and renew.

 

Speaking of awesome vacations....maybe we won't do that next year because THIS year (in 2 months actually) we are going to HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Josh is basically awesome at everything he does...including his job.  Again, they are at their national sales meeting, and they had their awards ceremony on Tuesday night and first he texted me that he won Rookie of the Year!  How awesome is THAT?!  That means he outperformed everyone that has been in the company for 3 or less years.  SO proud of him!!  I knew he was really excited about it too!  That's a huge honor!  We knew the recipients of the Hawaii trip were being announced that night too so he was texting me "it's getting ready to happen!"  "are you awake awaiting the news??" and then there was at least a 10 minute delay!  I was DYING!  Katie (one of Josh's co-worker's wives who I'm basically obsessed with) and I were texting "have you heard yet?!?!" "I need to know if I need to get my tanning membership!!" and then I got the text "Maui baby Maui!  I did it!  I take you to Hawaii!!"  I about passed out!  It was so awesome!  He was so proud of himself and was so excited to be able to take me to Hawaii.  He's a keeper, I tell ya! So Katie's husband also was in the circle of excellence (the top 10% of their company - that's who gets the big trips) so they're going and so is the rest of Josh's team!  We are super excited to vacation with Katie and Braden because they are just like us.  Josh and Braden are so close to the same person it's shocking and Katie and I both really like to lay by the pool!  This is going to rock!  I'm very much looking forward to Josh getting home (mainly because I miss him) so we can discuss all the details of the trip and I can start planning my wardrobe!  DUH!
