Celebrating eight wonderful years!

Today is our eighth wedding anniversary and I just love thinking back to the day we were married and all the memories we've made since then! It was such a wonderful day! We had that cliche June wedding and I just loved everything about it. Those who know me well know I am a planner, and I loved deciding on every detail! I loved the food, the flowers, the music, the cakes, the trolley ride to the reception and of course having everyone there to celebrate with us!

I do have one memory of that day that is not so pleasant. We were very close to being robbed that night. As we were entering a parking garage that evening, Chris saw someone trying to break into our car (loaded with plenty of money for our honeymoon as well as other valuables). Chris yelled at they guy and then chased him a little ways until I insisted he come back. I had no idea if that guy had a weapon and/or if I'd become a widow on my wedding night. We were both sort of "off" for a little while after that and just kept thinking, what if we had stayed for dessert?

I am so blessed to be married to such a genuine, handsome, fun, thoughtful, hard-working, smart, supportive, just all-around amazing man! Thank you Chris for eight amazing years, and for being the best husband and father I could imagine! I love you!

I was thrilled to go outside today and gather some hydrangeas from my back yard to place in our home that are just like the ones in our wedding. What a sweet reminder of the commitment we made on that precious day!
