8 years of married bliss!

It's been eight amazing years of married life. We love each other more today than yesterday. I can remember saying "I Do" like it was yesterday... yet it feels like it was centuries ago. We have accomplished SO much in our eight years of marriage.

Thanks to two wonderful people in our life, Memaw and Lare Bear... we were able to spend the ENTIRE day together, kidless, celebrating our anniversary. We met Memaw and traded vehicles and sent her off for a wonderful day with her grandkids... just knowing our kids were with her and Lare Bear helped this Mommy relax and enjoy herself. :)

So we set out for an amazing day... just the two of us. We went to breakfast at this sweet little cafe in Eugene... called Vero Espresso House. We sipped on yummy caramel coffees and shared a decadent breakfast sandwich. Highly recommend this sweet cafe!

Since we had a little time to spare before our lunch reservations... we headed over to one of my favorite little shops, Hirens... we had fun giggling at the funny signs... admiring the sweet and romantic nic nacs and even grabbing a few Ducks stuff while there!

Then before we knew it, it was time to head out to our lunch destination... King Estate! The drive was so nice... we were actually able to talk to each other, just the two of us! :) When we arrived... the setting was absolutely beautiful! We sat outside and enjoyed the magnificent view. I'm a sucker for brunch and my hubs is a sucker for good meat dishes. I had their special... the eggs benedict... And my sweetie picked the pulled pork sandwich. Both were AMAZING! After lunch we went inside to the bar and did a little wine tasting. We met two really sweet sisters that were having the usual glass of wine at the bar... they were about in their 70's... both being mothers to four children too. They were SO sweet, so kind, and so energetic and fun sisters! We loved meeting those two sweet gals. :)

Since we weren't quite ready to be done with wine tasting... we headed over to Chateau Lorane down the road from King Estate. It's a super cute, super quaint little winery. It's definitely not fancy like King Estate... but the bartender was so fun and energetic!

After our wine tasting adventure... we headed into town where we did a little more shopping and just took our time enjoying each others company. It was an amazing day to celebrate each other and celebrate the eight married years we've spent together! By the end of our evening we were both ready to see our kiddos! We missed them tremendously!

We celebrated our real anniversary today by taking the whole fam to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. El toritos! Yum! It was a great way to celebrate our special day with our kiddos in tow. Our sweet girlies took a couple pictures of us at dinner...

So grateful for these wonderful eight years of marriage to my best friend, my soul mate, my biggest fan, the most awesome Daddy to our four kiddos... I love you more. :) Happy Anniversary!
