8 years later

Chad and I got some time to celebrate our 8 year anniversary out at the Lakeway Resort and Spa. We had a great time hanging out on the boat in the morning and lounging by the pool in the afternoon. I can't believe that 8 years has gone by since we said, "I do". What a wonderful 8 years it's been.

In 8 years we've lived in San Antonio, New Zealand, Colorado, and Austin. Including 3 apartments, 4 houses, and some tents and basements along the way.

In 8 years we've gone from just the two of us to: just the two of us + a dog + a beautiful baby boy + a little girl on the way. How are we so blessed?!

In 8 years years I've gone from being a girl in love to being an adult, a wife, a mother, and even more in love today then I was on July 13, 2002.
How am I so blessed?!

Here are some pictures from our getaway...

There's nothing like a cozy hotel robe and a small glass of wine:

Family Fun

Well, now that ALL the family is back in the great state of Texas we had to get together and celebrate. It's so cool knowing that these get-togethers will be happening more than just at holidays every other year.
