8 YEARS!

So I haven't been a very good blogger lately. On Tuesday Bill and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary! It is really hard to believe that it was ten years ago when I first met Bill at Em and Mitch's wedding (Happy Anniversary guys!!) and nine years ago that I was in Hawaii and was proposed to at sunrise on the beach. It was shortly after September 11th and Bill was getting deployed early. THANKFULLY I had a really really great boss who was able to give me vacation at the last minute. My Chief, when I told him the situation, said "Go book your flight...we will figure something out!!". Thanks Mike for understanding!! So I booked my flight on friday and left for Hawaii on Monday morning. Flying still wasn't something most people wanted to do at this time. I was slightly worried but I HAD to see Bill before he deployed. The engagement was a surprise!

A year later, to the date, we were married in Willmar! It was one of the greatest days of my entire life! Everything was perfect! I LOVED everything about the day, Bill singing was so great! One of the best parts was having so many of our friends and family in one place....it doesn't get any better than that!! I would love to get married every year...and Bill would do it as long as there wasn't four hours of pictures!!

Now, eight years later so much has changed. We have traveled and experienced so many things and we have been given the gift of two beautiful children. I am very lucky to have a wonderful husband that I can't wait to spend a million more years with! Happy Anniversary Baby! I LOVE YOU!!

Congrats!!! I was thinking the other night how cool marriage it. I love how different we are, for Evan and I only 5 years into our marriage, and I love how much we have grown together. You and Bill are awesome. And it won't surprise me to read a blog post about your 50th anniversary. Love you guys.
