Today marks three years since James and I got married. Gosh, I remember back in the day when I used to mark time in weeks or months.
Me: “Guess what today is…”
James: “What?”
Me: (pouting) “I can’t believe you didn’t remember! Our seven-week anniversary.”
James: (rolls his wolf eyes)
I no longer count the weeks or months. Years, yes. And a lot has happened in three years. Here are the numbers:
3- number of places we’ve lived, number of jobs I’ve had
2- number of car accidents, number of cars we’ve sold, number of times we’ve been to Disney Land
1- number of university degrees earned (mine), number of children we’ve had, number of deaths in the family, number of international vacations
So, a lot has changed, but a lot has stayed the same. We still laugh at and tell dumb “your mom” or “that’s what she said” jokes, watch TV series on DVDs, and can’t figure out a meal schedule or definite budget. We still both play backseat driver, fight over the blanket James’s sister Jennifer made for him, and enjoy entertaining at our house. We still love each other. And in these days, that’s nothing to scoff at.
we both look like we’re thinking, “Squee!”
This is us with our nieces and nephews up to that point. There are now four more. We were probably thinking, “Eight kids may be too many!”
While we were taking pictures on the temple grounds,
