Four Year Anniversary

So my husband and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary on June 25th. I remember the day as if it was yesterday. Butterflies in my stomach as I put my wedding dress on. My knees shaking as my father walked me up the aisle. Crying as we said, “I take you to be my husband/wife. I promise to be true to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love and honour you all the days of my life.”

As I watched our wedding video I once again marveled at how fast the time has gone. We have been together as a couple for eleven years and married for four — holy guacamole! It seems like just yesterday we were those eighteen year old kids eating Doritos for breakfast, paddling out into the wilderness of Algonquin with packs that weighed as much as us, bar hopping in Lindsay where my husband went to college…and now here we are…married with two children and living out our “happily ever after.”

After all this time how did we celebrate? I bought him a muskie fishing rod and we went to see “Jurassic World” (at 3:00 P.M. mind you because we had to be back in time for me to make dinner for Chaos, nurse Anarchy and put both our girls to bed). You can not beat an anniversary that includes Chris Pratt leading a pack of Velociraptors on a motorcycle. We then shared a bottle of wine that he bought during a company dinner at Burning Kiln Winery and fell asleep by 10:30 P.M.

This married couple lives life on the edge…

Here’s to the rest of our lives babe!
