Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 8th wedding anniversary. We got married in 2000 (that should be easy to remember the year when we're old and our memories are going, right?) just a few weeks after graduating from college.

Now, here we are 1 apartment, 3 houses, 4 cars, 3 cats and 2 kids later. For those of you who are curious we still have 1 of the houses, 2 of the cars, 2 of the cats and we did also keep both kids.

Alex & I met on September 10, 1997 at an upscale restaurant called The Cottage in tiny Story City, IA. I was a waitress, he was a cook. The first time we met we spent about 2 hours cutting croutons together. We started dating less than a month later and......well, nearly 11 years have flown by.

We've certainly had a few ups & downs - what marriage doesn't? - but we are blessed with a wonderful family and a lot of love for each other.

Congratulations! We're a 2000 anniversary also and it is rather convenient!
