8 years - but who's counting???

Mitzi and I celebrated our 8th anniversary on Monday. It is hard to believe that it’s been 8 years. Time just goes by sooo fast. Over the past couple of days, I’ve been reflecting on our time together and thought I would share (the things I can) 8 things we’ve accomplished together in no particular order.
  • Both of us finished our Bachelor degrees taking many classes together and I just finished my MBA with her support.

  • We have both changed multiple positions but still work for the same employer.

  • We had our first child, Benjamin, 3 years after we’d been married and Abigail followed him 3 ½ years later.

  • We purchased our first home together and have just finished off the basement, remodeled the bathrooms and replaced the flooring, deck, lighting and hardware.

  • We purchased two cars together which we’ve loved – ok I have.

  • We been on vacations to Vegas, Phoenix, and multiple places in California, Florida and Idaho.

  • We’ve remained very dedicated and faithful to our church callings and many of those years we were primary teachers together.

  • We have made it through some tough times, and enjoyed the good times!

I love you very much Mitzi Jo – here’s too many more years to come! I’m hanging on and going to enjoy the ride! Love you babe.

Happy Anniversary!! That is really cool to list the things you have done together. I may have to steal your idea for mine. Dave and I are coming up on our 9 year anniversary in June. It is crazy! Time flies when you are having fun!!
