8 Years of Wedded Bliss

Wow! Where does the time go? Eight years ago I walked down the the aisle. Eight years ago I married the one and only person I would want to spend the rest of my life with. Eight years ago my life changed for the better.








After the wedding we spent an amazing week in San Francisco. I love San Francisco. I left my heart in San Francisco . . . well not really, but it seemed fitting to say. We walked miles, ate way too much, and had the time of our lives (other than accidentally driving across the Oakland Bay bridge straight into one of the most dangerous parts of Oakland).


Wow, who is that good looking fellow?

Alcatraz . . .

The Sea Lions at the wharf. They're gone now. One day they just up and left. Kind of sad and a little rude. They didn't even say goodbye. ;)

After a week in honeymoon heaven, we made our way home to our first little casa. Yep, it was a trailer house (mobile home for you p.c. people). We moved it onto my parents' ranch and saved a lot of money living there. I did take down those curtains. Couldn't handle them. 

 Us in our first home.
Pardon the fashion crisis that was the pants I was wearing.
I'm not sure what I was thinking, but wow! What the heck was I thinking?

Being the romantic couple we are, Patrick decided to go to youth camp the week of our anniversary (he didn't decide on his own. I helped him picked the dates so I'm partially responsible). But don't worry, we celebrated early with a trip to Austin and dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. We may not be the world's most romantic couple, but we love each other. We enjoy being with one another. We support each other. We encourage each other. We laugh, we fight, we play, we work side-by-side. And if that ain't romantic, then I don't know what is.

Happy Anniversary Honey! I love you.

The sea lions are back! I was there in January and so were they. According to the locals, they came back as mysteriously as they disappeared :-)

Yay for that! I loved watching them play.
