Awesome Anniversary

Our 6 year anniversary is today. In thinking about how 6 years have already passed, I realized that we've already had so many experiences together. I'm not much of a "numbers" person, but when I thought of the past 6 years, 10 milestones came to mind that also give a glimps of our marriage in numbers:

10 weddings we attended in 2006 for friends and family.
9 job changes between the 2 of us.
8 friends and family members in our wedding party
7 countries we've visited together
6 years of working on our relationship together
5 vehicles to take care of (including the boats)
4 years since we bought our first home together
3 beautiful children (including Rudy, although his beauty is only on the inside. LOL)
2 times we've packed up all of our stuff and moved
1 promise we made to love each other unconditionally forever, no matter what.


We got to celebrate last night, thanks to my mom (Grandma Vicky) who came over to babysit for us. Blair took me to Texas de Brazil, a Brazillian steakhouse/meat buffet place with amazing food. We had a great night of getting to sit while we ate, not making any bottles during dinner, having a glass of wine, talking about the next place we'd like to travel to, and eating fabulous food that we didn't have to make. He topped the evening off with surprising me with a video camera I've been wanting for months. He got a new boat last week, so it seemed fair to me! It's so exciting that we have a v camera that works now (our other one was pretty useless) because he left today for 18 more days of training before he gets to come home. If the kids do something cute while he's gone, hopefully I can catch it on video for him. All in all, we had a very nice celebration of our marriage and we expect to have many more happy anniversaries!
