We made it past the 7-year itch!

Wednesday, Josh and I celebrated our 8th anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long, but then I look around at our three kiddos and wonder how it hasn't been longer than that! On the day, Nathan and Tiffany came down to Mountain View with their boys and we were able to share the day with them and Josh's parents. The next evening we left the kids with grandma and grandpa and went out on the town--alone!! We went to Carnegie, a town about 9 miles away and hit a really fancy joint. Maybe you've heard of it...Sonic! I splurged and got a LARGE blue coconut cream slush. We sat for a while and talked about the latest books we're reading and then drove around a little bit. It was really nice! Josh gave me a card and the new Hillsong United CD. I gave him a book that he's wanted for a while: The Story of Christianity Volume 2. Two observations about our anniversaries: 1. Our anniversary cards have fewer and fewer words every year because it seems the more we're together, the less it can be described in words--how wonderful! 2. Our gifts get more and more "boring" each year--yet we seem to enjoy them more. We're so predictable. You can bet that one or both of us will be giving a book for each gift-giving holiday!
I joked to Josh that we made it past the seven-year itch and I never even had to scratch all year. Raise your glasses, ya'll! Here's to eight years of being married to the absolute best man I've ever met--the best eight years of my life!!!
