8 years

a lot can happen in 8 years

2 jobs,

1 house,

three new little people....

8 years ago, J and i vowed to spend the rest of our lives together

so far, it's been quite the adventure

we set out last night to celebrate all that the Lord has done since the magic of 8 years ago

 the big girls enjoyed a babysitter while sparkle tagged along with us to the Cheesecake Factory 

we don't often get to spend time together without the kids, but we had two reasons for bringing baby girl along:

#1 - this little stinker refuses to take the bottle, so she and i are pretty inseparable right now

#2 - we don't really ever get to be alone with her, so we made it a date for three

she got loved up extra special and we ate some amazing food

eggplant sandwich and bang bang chicken and shrimp

we topped it off with dessert and back-to-school shopping for J

and spent the ride home talking about what we want our family to look like 8 years from now....15 years from now....50 years from now

we wrote down some dreams and goals and i went to bed happy, happy, happy to be spending my crazy life with this great guy
