8 Years of Marriage!

Happy anniversary to us! 8 years of marriage, wow. Sure has flown.

One night, Shaun and I were looking for something to watch on Netflix. He turned on 'Ghostbusters'. I looked at him, and said "Are you serious? I'm going to freak out." I have a love/hate relationship with this movie. It's way funny, but it has scared me to no end ever since I saw it as a little girl. Basically, the dogs with the red eyes. It's ridiculous and silly, I know.

So, I said 'Ok, let's just watch it for the funny parts', because there are lines that make me giggle. Then, it shows the haunted apartment building, which looks some tall building my Mom and I would always pass on the freeway somewhere in Las Angeles. Scared the crap out of me, and I would shrink in the car to not see it.

Of course, I'm such a daredeveil. I said "Well, let's just see if it's as scary as I remember. I'm older now. Shouldn't be so bad." Total dork. So, I see the part at Rick Moranis's party when he opens his closet and throws a jacket in, landing on one of those darn dogs. As soon as I see those stinking red eyes, I freaked and said 'Yup. Still scary', and I dive into Shaun's arms, making sure he is holding me close, because I am still a wuss. I asked him 'Is it just me, or isn't there a movie that scares you?', to which he admitted about "The Grudge".

This movie incident made me think about how lucky I am to be married to Shaun, my movie buddy, silly friend who's super smart, strong, loves the kids, and loves me. The last time I saw this movie, I only had my stuffed animals and my mom to get me through the scary parts. Now, I have this big, handsome, wonderful sweetheart who takes care of me through everything. I love making those dang good chocolate peanut butter cups for him. I love saying stupid stuff just to make him laugh. Love seeing him play with the boys, and how much they love him. Love how hard working he is. So many things to write about him, but I love that I've been married to him for eight years, and I can't wait for more memories with him:)

I also love these pictures of us. My good friend Celise Salmon took these, and I love them so much. She did such a fantastic job. I love the last picture of us laughing. Oh, that is so precious to me. I can't wait to order it big on a float wrap or something. How important it is to get new pictures with your sweetheart, every year. It's a gift to be treasured.
