Anniversaries

This is us, 8 years ago today, can you believe it?




Today marks my 8th wedding anniversary. I am amazed at what can happen in a seemingly short period of time.

We have had two children , we have 3 dogs, we have acquired 2 guinea pigs and a hamster. We have moved 7 times, we watched Little P get on that bus for her first day of kindergarden. We have redone a kitchen and a bathroom, and learned how to do almost every thing by trial and error to complete these things.

We have experienced the scare of a premature birth, as well as the fastest birth that my doctor has ever been witness to. We have had a tremendous amount of loss, remembered everyday. We have attended way too many funerals . We have been in and attended too many weddings to count. Obviously it was much more fun to do the latter. We have seen our families fall apart and pick them selves up at different times and different places. We have made emergency drives across the state and right down the street to the pediatricians office.

We have seen first steps and heard first words. We've rocked through fevers and nightmares. We've slept upright in a chair more times than I can count, which by the way is the ONLY way that you can get a baby with an ear infection to be in the least bit comfortable and back to sleep. We have worked more in one week than some people do in a month. Gotta love retail, and be thankful when you are no longer working it. We have been thrilled when you get the job and sad when you didn't. We have cheered each other on and picked each other up. It has been an amazing ride and I can't wait to see what happens next!
