Now don’t get this post title mixed up with the 18 kids (or 20+ now?) and counting show on TV about a family with almost 2 dozens of children because this mama is very far from being capable of caring more than one child! One is quite handful.
February 8,2012 coincided with our 8 year anniversary –wooo…hoooo. We barely made it… man…tell us about it - lol. In fact my husband and I have known each other for almost 10 years now (we spent about two years learning each other before committing a suicide together on this journey). To many people’s surprise and amazement,we never celebrated..let alone having trouble remembering our anniversaries year after year and after year (if you never miss any posts on this blog,you know we have two anniversaries so that adds more confusion to the whole thing). Not remembering your anniversary is bad but it is not too bad when both partners forget…right?...right??

{How do you like our anniversary picture?}
This year though,we managed to remember a very special day of us beginning our lives together as husband and wife. Yesterday eight years ago on Sunday,2/8/12,we joined hands in marriage back. The good thing is we never feel like we have been together that long (which is a good thing in contrast to having a feeling that you have been with someone for a zillion year and have enough of it –not a good sign).

{Celebrated with something sweet and sugary as a way to add extra sweetness to our marriage}
During our eight years together,we have witnessed many of our friends broke up.. got married...got divorce....and got married again.
During our eight years together,there are countless of down times and up times.
Love,relationship and marriage are such complicated and delicate matters because it involves people’s minds and feelings. A key to a successful marriage can easily be summed up in one phrase as someone would say “give and take”with a little note though...always "give" more. Giving goes a long way.
gorgeous post! congrats!

Happy Anniversary! I thought my husband and I were the only couple who keep forgetting about our anniversary.
ReplyDeleteAwwww congrats Nelah! Valentines Day's around the corner, so double the celebration for you, lucky gal! Mmmm desert looks goooooooood! :)
ReplyDelete*laughs* From reading your posts I concluded you are one tough, no-nonsense, logical little lady, and I am right! I'm not a romantic, but I love all kinds of celebrations, from anniversaries to Halloween, anything and everything I can get away with! Perhaps because my family didn't make celebrate birthdays and stuff, so I'd like to make my own tradition!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congratulations on 8-10 years together. Cheers for the next 8-10 years!

Awww happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Nelah!! Wow 8 years is amazing!!! That's very inspirational :)
ReplyDeleteI'm late but nonetheless, happy anniversary. I really love the picture of 3 of your hands. It's a heartwarming family picture.
ReplyDeleteI noticed something about the date. "Yesterday eight years ago on Sunday,2/8/12..." Is there a mistake with the date since it's supposed to be 8 years ago? Or you meant "yesterday's date"?
Happy Happy Anniversary Nelah!!! This is beautiful. I'm so happy for you. Can you send me some of that ice cream and cookies? LOL Your foodie pics make me HUNGRY!!!
