but once a year...

you get to celebrate such a day...

a special day between a husband and a wife

Yesterday was our 8th anniversary

July 13th...

as {duh} by now you all probably realize our love for the number 13

Just wanted to wish my husband a Happy Anniversary...

This was our first anniversary apart

which is just a stinker...

for anyone

I know people celebrate it apart quite often

and any way you look at it

it is always special and better to celebrate it together

it was also the same day my sister and nephews left to go back home

so I decided to celebrate our anniversary by celebrating our family that we have created together

the girls and I spent the day together

a rough start in the morning

led to quite a great day with the girls...

we went out to an early dinner...like really early dinner

a trip to the store

and came home to relax together

seeing the girls have so much fun at dinner with just me and them was the best part of the day

even though Bobby wasn't there with us

I was able to spend the time with our children
our girls

I laughed on more than one occasion because of their silliness

and did things a little backwards throughout the day

the house stayed extra messy since I was too lazy to straighten it up

and I got annoyed with their whininess because they are overtired from last week's visit
I don't blame them honestly about their whininess...I feel tired too:)

then of course the girls made me smile all over again

and had a late {before} bed snack together 
our left over dinner from earlier

I saw them get excited as I told them it was bunk night in Momma's bed

and see Madison excited as I showed her on the Deadliest Catch show ~ the crabs

because she ate her first crab legs over the weekend

and loved them...

Happy Anniversary Bobby....

as things always aren't perfect

but it is us together

our laughter, 

and our love

that always carry us through
