8 Years

So, Mitch and I have always celebrated our "dating" anniversary. Until this year. We both forgot. Oops. In our defense, it was the same day that Luci had her terrible stomach bug, and we both had big projects at work.

I know it is silly to some to still celebrate our "dating" anniversary...but that day is important to us!

October 10, 2004- Started dating
October 8, 2005- Mitch bought my ring
October 10, 2005- Mitch proposed
October 8, 2008- We found out we were expecting Luci!

These dates have always been special to us! Sure, we may get to the point that we may not remember them every year...but it disappointed us that we forgot this year. Yes, we have been married for 5 years...but we have been "dating" for 8.

I know we will stay married forever and ever...but not every couple dates forever...

Here's to dating my husband forever!!!! Happy Dating Anniversary Mitch!!!

Here we are 8 years later! I haven't aged a bit in 8 years, right?!

 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 

1 Corinthians 13
