Our 6th Wedding Anniversary

It was on Saturday. I tell you, if ever there was a year (or summer rather) that we'd ever wondered if we would stay married it would be this one. Living in the holiday trailer has proven to be ab "experience" that has definately strengthened our relationship.

Though our anniversary is 6 years we have been together for 8 1/2 years. And in those years we have,

  • had Oaksana, got married, then had Amelija
  • moved to Houston, Carstairs, Didsbury, Burns Lake & then Vanderhoof
  • rented a place, bought a mobile home, sold, bought a starter home, sold, and now waiting for the acreage
  • bought a 10ft holiday trailer, sold, got a 24ft holiday trailer, sold, got a camper, got in a fight, sold, bought a 22 ft holiday trailer!
  • we've had 2 boats, and a hot tub = the one brown boat we still have
  • ARE YOU STARTING TO SEE A PATTERN HERE??????
  • we've had a honda civic, sold, honda accord, traded, subaru justy, sold, and now have a volkswagon jetta
  • had a toyota king cab truck, broke, got a chevy, sold, and now have a white dodge
  • had a quad that Collin traded for my B~A~B~Y blue VW Bug (bless his soul) , which we sold this year, and turned into the "ugly truck" snow plow
  • we've travelled to Barkerville, Alberta (numerous times & places), the Okanagan

WOW - when you write it down like that.. it seems a bit nutty. BUT - it's been GREAT, I couldn't have asked for a better 8 years of my life. Collin, I love you - thanks for everything! I sincerely look forward to anything and everything that is to come. (and trade & sell & borrow & break)!!

This weekend we bought a patio set for each other & for our new deck. I got Collin some fishing tackle & a fillet knife, and the Mortons gave us a Peony for the garden! It was a great day, we really enjoyed each other & the girls. :)

Happy anniversary! It is actually written on my calendar but we didn't get a chance to call because Pete and Jess were here visiting. Lame excuse, I know. Anyways...just seeing Collin and you together is enough to know that you two just 'fit'. You compliment each other beautifully, and you make some pretty kick ass children. Still wishing we hadn't missed your wedding 6 years ago, but we can thank little miss Meg for that:)
