8 Years and Continuing

Susan and I celebrated our 8th anniversary of marriage yesterday. We went out to eat and enjoy some time alone without the boys. As Susan says...'being able to eat at a restaurant that ketchup is not already on the table or served in little packets is a nice change'. We looked back at the past 8 years and where the time has brought us. We reminisced about the places we lived and the memories that go along with each location. It's funny to think of stone and brick, wood and nails, paint and plaster as being apart of fond memories but it is a large part of our relationship. I am very thankful for my wife. She has helped me to become a better person, a better father and a better man. We have weathered some difficult times since we first met back in 1996. The road has been quite bumpy at times but I believe that those storms has caused our relationship to be even closer.
