The night before we got married...

we thought we knew it all. We thought we knew each other...soooo well.




















The night before at our wedding dinner: Brett, Ryan, Steph, Heather, Cade, me, John, Jayson

Reality is as much as you think you know someone before you get married...you don't. I mean seriously there are some things you just can't know until you marry them. I lucked out. When it comes to things that really matter...John and I are on the same page and that makes our life a lot easier. It helps that we were raised valuing the same things. I am not saying we have marriage figured out by any means. Anything in life that is worth anything takes effort.

We are still learning everyday but I look back at the picture above and think of how much we have grown together since then and I SMILE.














Happy Anniversary! 8 years and counting...

I LOVE that picture - TOO CUTE. Look at Brett! He's changed the most.

Happy 8th! I can't believe it's been that long, and I can't believe it's only been 8 years at the same time!
