This Time It's Eight

This time around it's 8 years we're celebrating (last year's 7 post.). And instead of taking a picture before church looking done up and fresh, we had Dane (not bad for a 4 1/2 yr old) take one after church in our lounge clothes and my makeup mostly off. Oh well, we were going for the 'real' look, ha.

This eighth year has been 'real' so to speak and it's been a year of changes. Milo finished college, quit his job of eight years and started a new one, I was sick pregnant after a 4 year hiatus, we took a mini trip alone for the first time, our firstborn started kindergarten, Milo turned 30, we added Reed to our family and so much more. I'm glad I blogged because right now I can't remember much more than that (I should have skimmed the archives!).

One more thing. I love that this year we bought the same card for each other! Sure, we shopped at Walmart and that store lacks choice but I still think it's hilarious. Good taste Milo.

I love you Milo. Happy 8th Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary to Melanie and Milo! Wal-Mart has one whole aisle devoted to cards...that you two found the same one is pretty funny to me, too. Looks like you know each other well.

Happy Anniversary Milo and Mel. I can't beleive it's been 8 years. Lots and lots has happened in 8 great years. Mostly, Nathan, Dane, Kathryn, and Sweet Babay Reed. Both of you are so special in your own way, and I guess that's why it's working. Love you, Mom

That is hilarious that you bought each other the same card! Really only 8? I would have guessed higher (not because you look it just because you seem very grounded and wise....) Congratulations!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! That means our's is around the corner- yikes. Has it been that long? It makes me feel old. :) You've definitely had a year of CHANGE and you're still alive to tell about it (or at least what you remember!).
