8th Anniversary

8 years!
Just by the numbers this is what 8 years with Wyatt has looked like...
4 residences in two states and four towns--each very different.
1 child
2 higher education degrees --both earned by Wyatt
-2 minor body parts: appendix for me on our 6th anniversary and tonsils for Wyatt
1 Volvo Station Wagon --which until this January was our only car for 5 years
1 Trip to Hawaii
1 Trip to Canada
Numerous adventures both near and far

In our review on the way to dinner last night we realized that we have faced in 8 short years:
In sickness and in health,
In good times and in bad,
For richer and for poorer.

It's been a wonderful adventure that has only just begun. I could say all sorts of mushy stuff but the reality is this is our marriage and our life. It will never be dull, it will never be predictable, and it will never be something that is just day in and day out the same. I like that.

So we celebrated last night with a meal that was incredible at Restaurant Eve. It was a 9 course tasting meal prepared by the chef, each course selected by the chef for us, and amazingly the perfect choice for each of us. I tried two new things in the process: veal sweetbreads --unknowingly--, and bacon watermelon reduction sauce. YUM.
We had a similar meal on our honeymoon in Monaco at The Vistamar. I will always remember the amazing pear chocolate that I had at the very end of the meal.
