Yesterday Brad and I celebrated 8 years of marriage!
It's so crazy to think of what we have been through, accomplished, and enjoyed together these past 8 years. Technically we were together for 4 1/2 years prior to getting married...so we've been together for a long time.
I feel so blessed to have him in my life and to have such a wonderful partner in every sense.
I know so many couples that don't spend even a fraction of the time that Brad and I do together and still end up fighting or arguing and I know that our relationship is something very special. I don't know too many people who can live together, and work together...every day...all day and still stand each other enough to sleep in the same bed! :) I also think that we do a good job at trying not to take each other for granted which seems to come a bit naturally for us...thankfully.
Anyway, our anniversary was very nice.
Brad had to make deliveries yesterday for our store and when he came home...he walked in with a beautiful bouquet of flowers & a very sweet card. He even tried to make sure that the bouquet included flowers that were in my original wedding bouquet! I bought him some VERY romantic things...racquetteball stuff. LOL! He was thrilled though! He's not much of a romantic at heart...and he's been talking about wanting to join a league w/ a neighbor of ours for awhile...so I knew he'd get excited about what I bought him. I got him a new racquette, a glove, eye protection, and some balls.
After we put Max to bed, we went out for a GREAT sushi dinner at Kami's in Apple Valley. We actually lucked out and they have "All you can eat Sushi" on Monday and Tuesday nights! You can't find a better deal! I did the all you can eat and Brad had a specialty Maki roll. Our dinner was fantastic...and we sat at the sushi bar and talked with some interesting people. It was a great time! I think I actually waddled out of there...actually I think Brad did too and he's not pregnant!! :)
When we got home I had a topper of our wedding cake (from the Buttercream Collection in St. Paul) waiting for us. Chocolate cake w/ Baileys. YUM! After our dinner...I think we were forcing down the cake...but it was worth it! I think I've only missed 2 anniversarys of going to pick up a 6" version of our cake. They actually gave us our topper for our 1st anniversary free rather than having us freeze it. It's a great marketing idea on their part...because I would have never had the idea to go and purchase our wedding cake each year after had they not.
All in all...a fantastic wedding anniversary...with many more wonderful memories to add to our collection!
