Our 8th Anniversary

Today marks our 8th anniversary!  In honor of the occasion I thought I'd post some pictures of us over the years....it seem the only time there are pictures of the 2 of us are on vacation....or 20 years ago.

This is from a parade celebration in our hometown.  John is in the middle, my brother on the left and their friend Rick on the right.  I'm "casually" hanging out in the back...never too far away from John.  Obviously he found me hard to resist too.  I mean c'mon, you can barely cut the romantic tension! :)

 
A trip to northern Minnesota in 2007.  This is taken at Split Rock.  Katie is 2 1/2 and I'm pregnant with Will.  Cold day!

 

Our trip to Washington in 2006.  Spent this day hiking up Mt. Rainier.


8 months after our wedding in Key West, we returned with some friends.


And since you weren't there...here is the forest "aisle" that I walked down to get to our ceremony spot on the beach. 

Not too much planned - a relaxing day at home and dinner out tonight (without kids).  We haven't been "out" kid-less for our anniversary in about 6 years.  I think that means we deserve to order dessert too.

Have a good dessert. You two deserve it.

The Master Speed
By Robert Frost

No speed of wind or water rushing by
But you have a speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.
And you were given this swiftness, not for haste
Nor chiefly that you may go where you will.
But in the rush of everything to waste,
That you may have the power of standing still—
Off any still or moving thing you say.
Two such as you with a master speed
Cannot be parted nor be swept away
From one another once you are agreed
That life is only life forevermore
Together wing to wing and oar to oar.

Called furnace man to look at furnace this morn and changed some hoses> Now i can rest and relax, knew something was wrong and just had to find out.
Now HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to you and John. Have a great great day.
