Busy week!

Yesterday Princess celebrated her un-birthday at school. She was so excited! Last week I picked up some goodie bags and we filled them with pencils, sunglasses shaped like stars, silly straws, and a bouncy ball. She had a great time handing them out. In addition, I had lunch with her and brough in muffins and juice. They do not allow cupcakes or cake unless it is a school party.

Last night we all went out to dinner to celebrate DadOf3's and my 8th wedding anniversary! So much has changed in these past 8 years that it isn't even funny. The majority of the changes happend during our first year of marriage. Within that year,

  • we got married
  • we found out we were expecting Princess (6 months after being married),
  • we moved 1000 miles from home,
  • we both quit our jobs,
  • DadOf3 got a new job,
  • I quite being a computer programmer
  • We decided that I would stay home with Princess,
  • we lived in an apartment for a year because our house would not sell,
  • we moved into a new house even though the supposed sale of our house in Iowa fell through,
  • we had 2 mortgages for over a year,

Thinking about all of those changes still makes me cringe. It was a wild ride and we made it though.

This afternoon I am heading to a Reader's Theatre put on my Princess's class. DadOf3 is coming home for lunch at noon so I can go alone. Princess will appreciate that she has my undivided attention!

We had a lot of similar things happen too - although not all in our first year of marriage. But the 2 mortgages thing (it took our first house 16 months to sell) is definitely familiar. These past 8 years have been long (yet short) ones, haven't they! :)

Sounds like it has been an action-packed 8 years. Here's to many, many more. Happy anniversary.
