happy 8!!!!

''
Can you believe it.... 8 years. well this year was one of the most challenging years yet... in a good way. I went back to work, two new nieces!!!, mike hurt his back, joelle turned 2!!!, rental stresses, moved, renovated, more rental stresses, some low mood things on both our parts, throw in a few miscarriages (the most recent one on our anniversary), low iron, more rental stresses, long work hours, 6 months of school and unemployment insurance, one vacation, saya left our family, but admist it all we are still learning to love....

i have been wanting to do this painting for a long time... fitting that i hung it on the day of our anniversary.  mike is the hardest person to buy gifts for. and i like to think of myself as a good gift giver... anyways - he has been begging me for just a regular blanket on our bed for a while (secretly he has been wanting one since we got married) we currently use a duvet - which i love. So as a gift i went and bought a blanket and presented him the new purchase with the promise i will try it for at least 6 months.

mike also showed up early that night (11:30 instead of 1am) with mcdonalds and wine. perfectly us!!!

love you...

  2. McDonalds and Wine...sounds perfect to me! I agree with Mike on the blanket. We have a Duvet and I don't mind them but its the covers... they always get bunched. Congrats again to you guys.
