Jesse and I spend our evening reminiscing about our eight years of marriage. Which years were the hardest? Which years have been the best? Despite our conversation, I found myself repeating one question over and over in my mind. Where has the time gone? I know, I know. A tad cliche. But it is so true.
My mom has always told me to enjoy and cherish each moment. Time flys by. Before you know it, you'll be old and wonder where the time went. Typical. She offers up advice and I don't see its value until I live and experience it myself.
With sauce on our hands and a half pound of Oklahoma Joe's in each of our stomachs, we cleared our table and set out to see True Grit. Romantic. That's what eight years of marriage will get you. An action packed western instead of a warm and fuzzy chick flick!
Two undergrad degrees, one law degree, and four kids later, we are still standing. We count our blessings and look forward to growing old together. Here's to many more years of happiness, health, and growth!
Tremendous photo. Just fantastic.
