8 Years and Counting...

Anthony and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary. We were SO VERY lucky enough to have Nana and Papa and Saralyn and Spencer watch our children for us so that we could spend two nights away together in Bend, Oregon.

IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!

We were able to sleep in, hang out, pig out, play, pig out and then play some more.....and all with absolutely NO children.

AMAZING!!!!!

I was able to go on a 11 mile run one morning along the incredible hiking trails. It was one of the most wonderful runs of my life. Perfect 65 degree weather, and gorgeous scenery....

This little BBQ joint was INCREDIBLE!!! So incredible that we ate there twice. YUMMMMM!!!!.....

Hey, back off....I ran 11 miles so I could eat these crispy golden pieces of heaven smothered in tender pulled pork and cheese. Oh man, my mouth is watering just thinking about it...

We worked off a bite (or two) going on a beautiful hike along the river...



2920 days, 3 kids, 4 homes, 2 careers later and I still love you, Pabst. Thank you for the best 8 years of my life. I can't wait for the next 8 ( and then the 8 after that, and after that, and after that....you get the idea.)

I'm jealous! It looks like such a fun time, and so beautiful! And that food looks divine! If we are ever over that way, we will have to make a point to stop there. Yum!
