Through the Years...

An anniversary is a good time to look back on how we have changed through the years. We went out for dinner last night and to Barnes and Noble and then we watched our wedding video. We cracked up!!! I thought you all may like to see some pictures of David and I from the last 7 years...

7 years ago today...

So its almost 1pm and 7 years ago today at 1pm I was seeing the man of my dreams (for the first time that day) who in a few short hours would be my husband. These have been the best 7 years of my life. My what a journey we have had. We have lived in 6 homes/apartments, had 3 children, 3 vehicles and countless memories made that we will cherish the rest of our lives. I am thankful for David. How he loves me, cares for me, provides for me and our family, how he loves our Savior and loves the people God has entrusted to his care.

I love you David! And I look forward with much anticipation about the years ahead that we will spend together. God willing that will be a really long time!

On a funnier note, I had to get a filling today. Oh yea! So my face is still numb. David is cracking up laughing at me and he has refused to kiss me. Well, we took care of the later, but he is still laughing at me. I told him he hurt my feelings cause what if something happened and I had a half smile all the time (Pouring on the guilt is a specialty of mine). He told me he was going to post a picture of me. I don't think that will happen. I'm sure any of you who have had a filling know just what I am talking about.

Anniversary Gift Ideas

Okay, so my 7th wedding anniversary is just around the corner (July). We are celebrating early because of a youth retreat at the end of the month. But we are also thinking that we will take the girls with us and try to have a babysitter a few nights so that we can go out to dinner by ourselves. Not really sure if that is practical or not but that is what we are leaning towards.

So here's the question... got any really good, but inexpensive gifts to give a husband? He's into golf, but i feel like that is all i ever give him. I'm sure if you read this you know at least a little bit about my dear husband - so give me a "shout out" (ha, that is so old school) with some ideas.

Anniversary Update

So we had a wonderful time together celebrating our 6 years together. It was our first anniversary that fell on the actual day of our wedding (Saturday). David took me to dinner at the restaurant where we had our wedding reception. After dinner we walked around the hotel. Walked in the ballroom and by the room where we stayed the first night. The hotel didn't have that room available so we went out for ice cream instead! Today would have been our full day of travel to Acapulco, Mexico. We were recounting God's faithfulnes through these past 6 years and seeing God's grace at work in us in how much we have both changed since then. We had a great time together!

Oh and thanks for all the ideas. I ended up finding the card that I gave him the morning of our wedding so I gave it to him again to recount that day!

6 Years Ago

Well, 6 years ago tonight. David and I were at our Rehearsal Dinner, spending our last nights as singles and so thrilled for our marriage to begin the next day. Little did we know how much we would really enjoy it.

I'm trying to think of something to do for David at the last minute. We had planned to go away just the two of us, but with the purchase of a new home we decided a new house was a present for both of us. So now we are down to the wire and I don't have a clue what to do. I have an idea or two but that is it. Any tips?

I've been thinking about all that we've done together in these past 6 years. Here are some of the highlights.
+ We've had three beautiful little girls during the last four 4 years.
+ We've lived in 3 different cities, next month will be the fourth.
+ We've lived in 5 different houses/apartments, next month will be the sixth.
and
+ We've purchased 2 new cars.

So, I am more in love with David then I ever thought possible. And I have such anticipation for the years to come.
