8

it's apparently the time of year where lots of people get married.
my facebook newsfeed has had at least one person per day for the last week wish their spouse a happy anniversary.
today is ours.
we both forgot this morning. we groggily rolled out of bed {him because he stayed up late last night to watch the england game; me because i had a pepsi too late at night i think, and couldn't fall asleep until well after he came to bed} and went to the dining room to make some breakfast.
trevor wished us a happy annivesary. jamie said, "whoops." i said, "oh yeah." trevor and nick laughed at us.

this is us. we aren't big on making a huge to-do about dates or birthdays or anniversaries {except this year on mother's day when my pregnancy hormones kicked in and i got all sulky.}. sometimes we celebrate by going out for dinner. sometimes we have a whole day planned. sometimes we do nothing to celebrate at all. i'm not sure what this says about us but i do know that both of us are on the same page and we're okay with it. i love this handsome blue-eyed man more today than i thought was possible 8 years ago.

today is nick and trevor's last day in uganda before they fly back to canada tomorrow morning. so we're celebrating and spending the day with them. we've got the rest of the summer to spend together.

and our lives.

{also we've been watching finding nemo lately with the boys and you know that line when dorrie says to marlin, "I look at you, and I'm home."? it always makes me a bit teary. and it's how i feel about jamie. so i'm making this song our 8 year song.}

  3. Oh wow, what a great song. Happy Anniversary to you both. And you're right, a lot of people did get married around this time of the year, I'm seeing many with 7 and 8 year anniversary celebrations. We will be 12 in November. Time flies. And yes, enjoy and cherish each other always. Not just on this day. xo

  5. Happy anniversary! :) I'm not really one to mark special occasions either, but my family doesn't share my nonchalance. I like your way of looking at it: "we've got the rest of the summer to spend together. and our lives." Mhm.

    Hope you both had a lovely day!

    1. Thanks, Oksana! It was an average day but we'll likely celebrate some other time this summer. :)
