7 Years

That's right, Jon and I celebrated our seven year wedding anniversary! It's crazy how fast time really does seem to fly. So much has happened in our lives over these past seven years, and I am grateful to have such an amazing man by my side helping us make it through. 

We had the perfect anniversary weekend! My parents were willing to take the kids from Saturday and we picked them up Sunday night. After dropping the kids off, Jon and I headed out for some target practice! :) I ended up shooting two fire extinguishers off, which was a lot of fun. After some shooting, we headed home got cleaned up and went out to dinner at Olive Garden. Seriously, the deal they had for two people, was S.O.M.U.C.H.F.O.O.D. Jon and I couldn't finish, but thoroughly enjoyed what we did eat. After dinner, we were going to go see a movie, but realized we had some time to kill. So, we pulled out our inner child and went to Chuck-E-Cheese and played some skee-ball, and a basketball championship (I lost by the way, over and over again. I demand a rematch soon). After we enjoyed playing like kids, we headed over for our movie. We ended up watching the new Batman movie. I was a little hesitant because, although The Dark Knight was very well down, it was just too dark for me and I didn't want to watch another movie like that. Thankfully, the new Batman movie wasn't dark like the 2nd one at all, it was a great movie! After our movie we headed home for some late night snuggles and 24 on Netflix, it was a great day!

Sunday, was our actual anniversary, so we played hookie from church and decided to drive out to Ocean Shores. Unfortunately, fortunately, nobody told the Ocean it was supposed to be nice. We left home where it was over 80 degrees, and ended up in Ocean Shores to 64 degree weather. Despite it being really cold, we had a blast chilling in the chair, eating lunch, playing Rook (another game Jon killed me at), LAUGHING A LOT, and talking about our lives. I Loved Every Minute. After about 2 hours of being in the car we decided to go for a walk on the beach. To our amusement (or maybe just mine), we left the AC on in the car and our battery had died. I found it to be hilarious. We went for a walk and when we came back the car was still dead. Thankfully, I always keep jumper cables in my car, so we asked the car next to us for a jump to which he graciously ablidged. Once we were started, we headed back home to pick up our crazy kids at my parents.

 We put the timer on, and of course, a truck happened to be driving behind us and ruined our beautiful beach kiss picture. 

 It was an incredible weekend, one we both needed. It's so nice to spend time with the one I love and feel reconnected. I love him more and more each day. Happy 7 years, I look forward to many, many, more!
