This week while we were eating supper, Austin looked up at our unity sand and got a funny look on his face. When I asked him what was up, he chuckled a little and said "I just thought of something for the blog." Which made me smile. He said, "It's really corny, but it's kind of cute. Every anniversary, we could put our hands over the top of our sand container and shake it one time. That way it symbolizes how every year we become more and more united." I think it's adorable. Here's what our sand looks like now:

Very Important Announcement!!!


Coming up next month MHR Fridays will be having a FANTASTIC giveaway! "Why a giveaway?" you may ask. Well I'll tell you, because giveaways are freaking awesome! Not only that, but Austin and I are celebrating our one year anniversary on September 22nd, so I thought it would be easy to remember, as well as September 19th will be the 15th week that we have posted for ~My Husband Rocks~ Fridays! So, on the 19th I will announce all of the fabulous giveaway items, then on the 26th I'll announce the winner!!! Anyone is welcome to enter the giveaway, even if they do not post for MHRF, and if you would like to contribute items to the giveaway, please contact me by e-mail (so that way it will be a surprise when we announce the items) at katylinvw(at)yahoo(dot)com!


Thanks for reading everyone! Hope you all have a great weekend!

  7. That is so SWEET! Isn't it funny how our husbands have as much vested interest as we do in our blogs?

  15. Look at you in your wedding dress! You look amazing! So tiny and beautiful and beaming with joy. I have never heard of the concept of unity sand, so that idea alone is precious. And the idea to shake it once each year takes it to a new level. Congratulations on the upcoming anniversary!

  21. That's such a neat idea (shaking the unity sand). And really sweet that he thought of it too :o)

  22. I love your "My Husband Rocks" idea. I posted my first tonight and I look forward to posting many more. It is so nice to see other women taking part in sharing the wonderful things their husbands do for them, rather than taking part in the "husband bashing" that has become the accepted norm nowadays.

  23. I have no idea what 'unity sand' is... but I've got the general idea from your post that it symbolizes unity... gee I'm clever aren't I ... :) he is so romantic!

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have never seen unity sand, but I love the idea and Austin's suggestion. Corny can be so sweet can't it?

  27. Hi I am coming by from BATW and wanted to say Hi from Hungary. I am going to look into your MHR Friday... fun idea!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Visiting from BATW. I must say that your blog, hubbie, wedding pictures...Adorable!
    What a wonderful way to honor your husband and marriage!

  29. Hi Katy, I just wanted to drop by & say that I really love the idea of "my husband rocks" Fridays :] I read your original post about the idea and I have to agree -- society as a whole portrays marriage as sort of a "necessary evil". Now I'll admit, when people find out we've been HAPPILY married for two years, they STILL call us "newlyweds" and say "don't worry, it'll fade". WHAT?! I think they're crazy... (except for our mothers, one of which cried when my husband & I didn't snuggle on the couch at a family function because she thought we were going to "break up"!)

  30. I'm visiting your site through BATW. You've sure got a great thing going with the MHRF...I may have to join.

Always great to hear from you! I ALWAYS read your comments, and they make my day!

Thank you!
