8 Year Anniversary

This year was no different than any other.  Don did all the right things.  He bought me a necklace that is the infinity sign but also . . . and 8.  We went to lunch and he bought me flowers.  That evening we played games together and laughed together. It was a good day.  
This year I did something kind of fun for me and I think Don enjoyed it too.  When I left home for college I stopped writing my daily life happenings and journaled only spiritual insights and that sort of thing.  So I didn't record meeting and marrying Don.  So this year I wrote about what I remember from the time that I left home until now.  It was a lot of work, but something that will be good to have in the future. Some of the days had a little gift.  The first day is pictured above with the sentence, "In the first year of marriage my true love gave to me . . . " and then the gift represented something from that first year.  So it was kind of like the days of Christmas starting 7 days before our anniversary.  The first year was divinity as a gift.  We have a picture of all of our children eating divinity the first time, that is why Landon is pictured. 
So 8 years has come and gone.  We have had our hard times but are really glad that we have each other.  True love is great!
