Wow, Eight Years

(Also happy birthday to my Mom & BIL Bryant!!)

Today’s our wedding anniversary.  This is number 8.  Eight.  Crazy.  I thought time flew with Jamayia’s
birthday.  It’s zipping ahead in our marriage too.

We’ve had a few moves and a couple of career changes and some struggles.  We now have three adorable daughters.  We have each other and God’s blessing.

We’re looking forward to many, many more years together.  I pray we only grow closer to each other and deeper in love.

Oh, and let’s aim to take more pictures together.  Until then, here are some older shots…

Can You See Me Now?

One minute they were there, and the next minute, they’d vanished.

Both my hubby & I wear contact lenses. We each have two pairs. Both of his are in identical cases. One of mine is in a case identical to his, and then I have a different coloured case as well. Well, last Saturday evening, I noticed that one of my cases was missing. It definitely wasn’t Jamayia this time, as she’s too short to reach the medicine cabinet. When asking Jon for them a couple days later, he pointed to a random case on a shelf above mine and said that those must be mine, because his other two pairs were grouped together-ish.

Do you hear my doubt??

When I picked up the supposed case, I knew they weren’t mine. The case itself was slightly worn. Then I took out the first contact, and knew for sure that it wasn’t mine. There was a green hint on it, but mine have a blue hint to them. The shape was also different. So I put those back and looked at the other set of lenses. Same feel and look as the first. I even tried one on–no dice!! The third set was missing….

When Jon got home after work, his first comment was a complaint about the contacts and how they’d been bugging him all day. Well, it was no wonder, I told him…

They’re mine!!

We both got a nice laugh out of it. He was just impressed that this was the first mix-up in five and a half years of living together.
