8 Years And Counting.

2.22.02..... i can't believe it's been 8 years! this has really been a wonderful anniversary. ben was actually home to celebrate. miss anna lou (have you heard of her?? no? well, she's a fabulous party planner whose specialty is anything and everything romantic) prepped all afternoon for the perfect anniversary dinner. she and her little sis/slave girl jane went all out to make it special for us. a candlelit dinner with flowers, angel statues (?) and sparkling lemonade in wine glasses... she thought of it all. she even started the meal with a special anniversary blessing... can you say attention to detail?? we ended the evening with a dance show, and a viewing of our wedding video. we all laughed and smiled. it was a great, great day. we're so thankful for our girls, and most importantly, each other.

anna's signs on the door. i think the bottom one is of ben getting home from work and me trying to let him in... but she didn't want him coming in without her welcoming him. (?)



dinner by candlelight

our photographer requested a kissing picture. we obliged. =)

jasmine & the witch putting on their dramatic dance show

and i had to include this frightening picture of ben sporting the 3D glasses from our date night to see avatar, which by the way was awesome!

Love! Love this post. Happy Belated Anniversary! Wow, 8 years is something to be quite proud of!!! And Paul commented on that last photo. That HAS to be Tellie Savales (sp?) or Daddy Warbucks.
