Happy Anniversary

On Monday we celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary! It's really hard to believe how fast time seems to fly by these days. It doesn't seem that long ago when we were just poor college students trying to eat, sleep, study, and work. The journey through has been so much fun! I wouldn't trade it for anything. Back then I wouldn't have been able to imagine where we are today: good jobs, a nice home, and 2 beautiful daughters. We have been blessed.
We had planned to celebrate by going out to dinner on Monday night. I even arranged a babysitter. To my surprise, when I woke up, Chris had left me a note telling me to pack my things and get the kids ready to spend the night at grandma's house! He also had bought me a pearl necklace, which I have been wanting. We had such a great time! We were able to do some shopping without the kids, we had a fancy dinner at OCI, and stayed downtown at the Hotel De Lux. We even went out for breakfast the next morning. I was really surprised! It was a great anniversary! Thanks sweetheart! You are the best, and I love you lots!
