Happy Anniversary!!!!

I promise that Eliza was there... she was just asleep in the stroller the whole time.

Today Bret and I celebrated our 8th anniversary. In many ways the time has flown. If you look at our courtship, then you know that once Bret and I have our mind set we never wait long to act. In the past 8 years we have bought a home, sold a small car to purchase a minivan, and added 4 beautiful children to our family (along with many other things)Sometimes it seems like there should have more years in there... we can't remember (or even want to) a time when we didn't have each other.

For our anniversary today we excused Christopher from school and took the entire family to Utah's Hogle Zoo. Our family loves animals and so we always enjoy the zoo. After the zoo we let the kids pick a fast food restaurant and enjoyed eating and playing there. Then just Bret and I went to dinner together. It's funny... we were so happy to get out and be just the two of us, but what do we talk about?.. the kids. Thanks Nate and Audra for watching our crew while we spent some time away.

Bret, I love you more than anything. You are my EVERYTHING. I am so grateful that we have eternity together.
