Our 8th Anniversary

On October 11th Chris and I celebrated 8 years of marriage.  In some ways it seems like yesterday when we got married but then other times it seems like forever ago.  In the last 8 years alot has changed.

-We have moved two times and purchased two different houses!
-We've had two babies and now celebrate the birth of our third!
-We've been on numerious vacations - I started counting but there are too many.
-We've done so many renovations to both of our houses it's scary - but every one of them have made our homes into what we wanted them to be!
-We've been through I think 6 or 7 cars - this is mainly Chris!

Those are just a few of the things I could think of off the top of my head.  We've been together for a total of 15 1/2 years - married for 8 of them!  We've been through a lot in all of those years - I'd say in general many more wonderful things than hard or sad.  This last year has thrown us a few harder than normal but I really think because of the wonderful man I come home to every night I can get through just about anything and I hope he feels the same.

And for as much crap as he gives me and the show he puts on in front of others I know he loves me with everything he has (just look at what he did last year for me!).  This year he surprised me with a dozen red roses.  This is the first time he's sent flowers since our 1st anniversary.  They were beautiful and I cried - actually multiple times (must be the baby hormones!).  But I loved them and love him for sending them to me.

Can't wait to see what the next 8 years will be like and what our list of "stuff" will include.  I'm sure it will be fun, exciting, boring, normal, crazy, funny, sad, and everything inbetween.  I don't think I'd want it any other way!
