8 years today

If you follow my blog, you know that Shane and I already celebrated our anniversary (early) with a wonderful trip to Chicago. But, now, our exact anniversary 'day' is here, and I thought I would take a minute to share a glimpse of what my life was like, eight years ago today....

Our program, my bouquet and Shane's boutonniere, my shoes, and our rings

During the song that I sang to Shane at our wedding, "(Won't you) Give me forever"

Lighting the Unity candle

First kiss

Me and my very special Grandma Franzi

The 'official' wedding pose

Oh, I just love this one. Just the two of us in the candlelight

Cutting the cake

Rings
And, lastly, two of my very favorites. Off to the Honeymoon!

It's been an incredible eight years. I wouldn't change one thing--not one--about our time together. I'm thankful for all the wonderful times--and there are so very many--and, truly, I am even thankful for the difficult times. I feel blessed to be able to say that the most difficult times in our marriage have been times that have only brought us closer to God and to each other.

Here's to 60 more years babe! I love you with all my heart.
