2nd anniversary!

By August 18, 2009Personal

today, two years ago, i married my best friend. matt is everything i could never have even imagined that i’d want in a life partner. the way he lives his own life, the way he cares for us, the clarity with which he sees the world- these are things that never made it to the list i made in middle school that started with just, ‘good sense of humor’ although, i am happy to be able to check that off too! ;)

i cooouuuuld write a long sappy post, which i will probably do in the years to come but today, since we’re photographers, and since they say a picture is worth 1000 words, i decided to go with 7000 words in the form of new header images of our little family! check it out! (for you loyal friends in reader, click out please!) we’d love to hear what you think, which image is your fave and, of course, any compliments on stella’s adorableness will be much appreciated!

sneak peek for reader people!

  • Erin Hill says:

    So adorable! My favorite is the one where both Kate and Stella are kissing Matt’s cheeks at the same time!

  • skay says:

    the one with you laughing and stella licking matt, while matt makes that face he makes often…classic. and both of you, your hair looks good (stella too)…and i like kate’s dress and matt’s glasses. and stella’s little butt in the air – excellent. i think i covered all my bases.

    happy anniversary! i’m so thankful i was there to celebrate two years ago with the two of you. love, skay.

    Have to go with the one of you both kissing Matt. So glad you included Stella in these pics. She’s a beaut!

  • Lelia says:

    OK, I agree. The “double kiss” photo is the best! So adorable. I love how your lives have taken shape in your first two years of marriage, so here is to the years to come!

  • Kathy says:

    These are SOOOOOOO cute….I love all three of you!

  • CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love the new images… hard to pick but the one of Stella’s tail sneaking on the left hand side adn the kiss/lick are at the top of my list.
    Have a wonderful dinner date tonight!

  • mary says:

    Congratulations to you both! You guys are awesome and I hope you guys have a wonderful day celebrating..even if it does land on a work day…you should spend today with eachother doing adventurous things. My favorite image is the one with stellas tail in the picture awhile she hopping down (Im guessing) and you guys are looking all cute on the other end. But they all are awesome and fun as usual! Have a beautiful day Altmix’s!

  • lef says:

    love the new header! i would go with everyone else and say my fave is the duo kissing picture, but i think the winner goes to the tail in the air :) that is a puppy in a nutshell, always on the move! and if you are ever questioning or need more comments on stella’s adorablenss, fear not, i will supply them :) she is soooooo precious!

  • Becca says:

    Oh I love ALL the header pics (but the one where the “girls” are both kissing Matt is definitely my fav) . . . and CONGRATS!

  • Katie says:

    ADORABLE. Love you guys.

  • April says:

    Love it guys!! A picture is worth 1000 words. :) I LOVE the one with only Stella’s tail sticking up…so cute!

  • jessica says:

    Could you guys be ANY cuter!?!?! I love it!! I love the one where Matt is getting kissed by his two girls. So sweet :)

  • erin says:

    happy anniversary you two (now three)! i love every last pic, but the one of kate and stella both kissing matt made me laugh out loud when it appeared! excellent as always-fun and fresh!

  • beth says:

    love the new fam pics! i think i agree with most everyone else…matt getting kisses from both girls is my fave. congrats on 2 years together!

  • Jeff says:

    Happy 2nd Anniversary. Goes by fast doesn’t it? I really dig the new header. It is a shame you didn’t have a basket on your bike to put Stella into. That would of been a bit too E.T. huh? It looks like you two aren’t short on things going on. I am happy for you both. My favorite photo has to be you (Kate) & Stella kissing Matt. Yeah. . .it is freakin’ cute. Well, I hope this finds you with all the happiness. Stay cool out there in Atlanta. You know I always keep stopping by in awe of your photos here in PA. Later.

  • congratulations!!!!! :))))
