8 years and 1 week

I haven't had a chance to post about mine and Brad's anniversary which was last week- so I am doing it now which means happy 8 years and 1 week anniversary to us! We stayed pretty low key this year. We had take out Olive Garden on Saturday- just the two of us- while the kids ate buzz and woody mac n cheese. They begged some breadsticks off of us- but other than that we had a lovely meal. Our actual anniversary was the first day of school and my dad was here so we all went out to dinner as a fam to Sadie's favorite..Fudds. Brad got me the newsest Mary Higgings Clark book and I got him a 49ers sign to add to his collection on the garage wall. I looked back at my post last year about our anniversary. I really thought we were so busy then with life and school that things would be slower this year- but I was wrong. Now we are just busy with different things like church callings and the day to day life of 3 active kids. Brad got out his pez dispenser collection for the kids to look at this weekend and in the same box was a huge pile of notes he had saved that we wrote to eachother in high school. I had a nice walk down memory lane reading through some of them. I am so glad we are through those crazy days of high school- even if it means we are onto the crazy days of adult life. I meant to take a pic of the two of us yesterday to post- but time got away from me. Hopefully I can snag one tonight and get it posted. Happy 8 years and 1 week and many many more to come!
