A couple weeks ago, Alex and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary. And
let me tell you, it was a wild one! We have never been the type to do
the expensive dinner to celebrate anniversaries because 1. we are
college students/recent grads who have very little extra money and 2. we
lived in Troy. For those of you who don't know, the most exciting thing
in Troy is Wal-Mart. And even that is lacking right now as it is
recovering from a tornado back in August. So throughout the years, we
have gotten creative with our anniversaries. We have been to pumpkin
patches, botanical gardens (which is also where he proposed) and
planetariums in the past, so this year, we went to the Zoo.
Got
you, you thought a wild anniversary date was going to be something
extreme or provocative, didn't you? Nope, we went to the zoo and hung
out with the wild animals! The reason we picked the Montgomery Zoo this
year was because my Sigma Alpha Iota little sisters adopted a flamingo
for me for graduation!! (Aren't they awesome? The flamingos and my
littles) I have a slight obsession with flamingos and my littles are
only enablers. But I digress.
So we had planned for this year to
go up to the zoo and see a movie and it was a blast. The zoo isn't just
for little kids, because it brings out the kid in everyone. It is a time
to be awe-struck by the beauty of these magnificent animals and the
complexity of nature.
One of my favorite traditions that we started a few years ago was to
take a picture of us holding a picture from past anniversaries. It was
really cool to look at the photo and see how you change in all of the
pictures. I am planning on having all of the pictures on display at the
wedding somewhere because that will be fun to see it all compared as to
how we have changed from our first anniversary to the wedding.
Do you have a favorite anniversary tradition or date idea? I would love to hear about them!
