8 YEARS...


8 years ago today, we were in Vegas.
Merlin was our minister and the world was pretty easy.
We were playing the nickle slots and getting hassled on the streets to come in and play.

8 years ago today, we were dancing and playing and acting like newlyweds.
Sometimes things change, but the acting like newlyweds part...
that pretty much stays the same.

8 years ago today, we didn't know what sorts of things we would face.
We just knew that we would face them together.
We knew we were a team. We still are.

8 years ago today, my dad made a speech and said that I couldn't have found anyone better.
He meant it then and he means it still today.
So do I.

8 years ago today, we became husband and wife.
Every day since, I have thanked God for you.
Every single day.

Hello! Great post, BTW. A bit emotional... in the best way! (Sniff, sniff.) I never commented 'cause I got nothin' so touching to say at this juncture.

BUUUUTTTTT...... On to something else: Are you getting super excited about your upcoming BIRTHDAY!?!*@$!

Gonna have cake and ice cream and pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey?

Package to follow from E. Texas (belated, OF COURSE), but the wishes start coming early this year: HAVE A GRRREAT Friday!
