eight years

Today Jake & I celebrated EIGHT years of marriage.

I booked a sitter for the morning.  I ran a few errands, and then I headed downtown to meet Jake for lunch.  We had a yummy lunch at The Basics. Followed by coffee.

The kids and I set up a romantic dinner for 6.  We were celebrating our family's birthday.  They loved it!  The girls picked out photos from our wedding to put at each place setting.  

We made homemade pizza.  

I had some great kitchen help that also agreed to be wait staff.

When I look back over the last 8 years, this verse comes to mind.  

"This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

Psalm 118:23

God has been faithful.  He has gone before us. He has provided & protected.  He has grown us together as a couple & individually in our relationships.  He has blessed us. He has grown (okay, multiplied) our family year after year. To Him be the glory!
