Eight Years

It is so hard to believe that Bobby and I have been married for 8 years. Tomorrow is our anniversary and we are planning to have a romantic dinner after Jake goes to bed while each holding a baby in our arms. (This is how dinner around our house goes but sometimes you add a crying 3 year old in the mix because it seems like very kid melts down during this time!) Hey, we can still cheers with a glass of wine while holding a baby.

While we may not have had the most traditional wedding-ha ha-we are having a great time and enjoying each other and I think that is what is most important. I wouldn't want to go through this crazy life with anyone else but my best friend. We have such a great time together and I feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful person to spend my life with. We have learned so much from each other-and lets face it-we have also grown up so much too. I'm so proud of the husband and father that Bobby has become. He is the only person who can always make me laugh. I love you so much, Bobby and can't wait to spend many, many more years with you! Xo

For those of you who don't know, we got married on a whim in Las Vegas the year I turned 21. While I won't bore you with the exciting details (okay, it's not boring but I feel the story comes across in a much less cliche way when it is told in person- so if you even want to know just get me a drink drinks and I'll tell you!) I did have a very funny thing happen while I was at the hospital. I was telling one of my night nurses about my crazy story-something about the night nurses made me bare my soul. I'm pretty sure it wasn't even that much of an appropriate time to share but I did (my mom was there listening to details that even she didn't want to know-but now I am making it sound bad-which it wasn't). I told my nurse Brenda all about how the crazy night, really it was morning, went down because apparently a couple got married at the hospital when the girlfriend/wife was on bedrest with momo twins years ago. So, I told her that Bobby and I should renew our vows in the hospital-ha ha funny funny. Well, wouldn't you know...the very next day I got a visit from the CHAPLAIN! I had already been there a month or so and that was the first visit from him and of course it was after I was telling my nurse about my crazy story and suggesting that we renew our vows. I'm convinced the place was bugged. We didn't end up doing it of course but it was really funny that he should show up (and I did ask if she had sent the chaplain-which she denied! ;) ) Bobby and I often say that we should renew our vows sometime in the future and we can have our flock of children as part of our renewal. Who knows. :)

P.S. We DO have a video of our wedding that we still haven't watched. It's on VHS. Maybe we will watch it tomorrow after the wine kicks in! And no, I will never show anyone so don't ask. Ever.
