8 years

We celebrated our eighth anniversary yesterday. I kept meaning to get a picture, but I didn't, so here we are at eight years plus one day of marriage.

We had a nice time yesterday on an afternoon date thanks to some new friends who just moved into our ward. Unfortunately we won't have much time to become better friends since we'll be leaving soon (five weeks from tomorrow we drive away!). But thanks, again, Bostons! 

First we went to get a new car battery for the van (we had to jump it twice yesterday - thankfully both of those were in our garage and not at the boys' soccer game!). When they tested the old one at autozone their tester said "bad battery. Replace now!"  

Then we got lunch at Cafe Samana. Wow! Wish we had found out about this place before now. A fun little vegetarian place that's only open for lunch. Was it delicious!

After that we went to a park to sit on a bench and reminisce about our last eight years and how far we've come as individuals and as a couple. And, of course, some thought as to what the future will bring. It was a wonderful day. 

I am so grateful two see many ways in which Spencer and I have become even better friends over the last eight years. and I will always be grateful that he is the man with whom I get to raise our wonderful (if sometimes strange) children. I feel incredibly blessed.
