Tuesday was our 3 year anniversary. Everyone who is married understands the feeling of time going by fast but yet feeling like you’ve been married forever. It is true! 3 years is still newlywed time but here we are almost two kids later. I feel like we have been married forever and I love it!

Life is busy these days with Ben working full time and going to school at night. So Tuesday I wrote Ben a mushy letter and he bought me beautiful flowers, but other than that it was a normal day. Today (Saturday) however, our friend watched Hallie (thanks Anna!) and we went off to celebrate with a bunch of Portuguese soccer fans. (So romantic I know!) Ben found a Portuguese restaurant that was playing the world cup game between Portugal and Brazil. Ben wore his Portugal jersey and I wore his Portugal scarf around my neck. (I was supposed to wave  it when they scored a goal!)

As soon as we walked into the resturant we were overwhelmed by the smell of smoke. The place was full of portuguese fans who were smoking. We sat down and ordered some Portuguese soda and bread. They were delicious! After the first half of the game the owner noticed me with the scarf around my mouth and told me he could turn on a t.v. in the back (non-smoking) area. By taking the opportunity to get out of the smoke we gave up the authentic feeling of being in Portugal watching the game. Oh well, if I wasn’t pregnant we would have endured it longer.

In the end neither team scored a goal and we went home disappointed. However, it was my first time ever watching a World Cup game and now I can’t wait to see another one. Man my husband is lucky he married a girl who likes sports! 🙂

My beautiful flowers!! I love orange and pink together. (Not sure if Ben knew that or got lucky.) lol

FYI: Ben served his mission in Portugal. That is why we were supporting them despite the fact that I know dozens of Brazilians and not one portuguese person. haha
