Now that our official anniversary is over, I wanted to just take a quick crack at what the next 8 years might bring…

1. A trip to Hawaii to celebrate our 10-year anniversary.
2. A trip back to Europe – at least to revisit Paris and Venice and check out new places like Prague, Germany and London.
3. New cars. I somehow don’t think that our cars are going to make it another 8 years (as much as we’d like them to).
4. New careers, although that one might just be for me…we’ll see what happens.
5. You finally getting recognized for the brilliant artist that you are.
6. Welcoming more nieces and nephews into the world.
7. I hope that we get to counsel and marry more couples…I’ve had a blast doing that with you.
8. Changes to our house – new carpet, landscaping and more!
9. I predict that in the next 8 years that blogging will fall by the wayside somehow. It’s totally jumped the shark (or nuked the fridge, whichever you prefer).
10. And much much more awesomeness…

I’m constantly questioning whether our lives can get better – whether we can be more insanely happy than we already are – and I’m always amazed that we manage to be happier and more blessed. I can’t imagine the next 8 years being better than these first 8 have been, but I’m going to expect the best because I’ve yet to be disappointed.

Love you.
