7 years

7 years ago today Bracken and I got married!

We didn't do much to celebrate today but we've loved having so much time together this summer. I'm going to miss having him around during the day when he starts work in a week.

I'm grateful for such a great husband. We have a lot of great times and he helps me roll through the challenges that are thrown at us.

My favorite part of the day today was dinner. Bracken and I had a lot of laughs over negotiating with Hayes and Kamri about eating their dinner. (yes, I realize there is something wrong with that. They should just be grateful and eat it. But such is life. They both finished all their dinner though, a rarity)
At one point Kamri told us she was so stuffed she couldn't move so obviously she couldn't eat her chicken. Then a minute later she was sitting on the couch. When I asked how she got to the couch without being able to move she straight-faced answered "magic!"
She ended up finishing her chicken once she saw that Hayes got Oreos when he finished.

And I didn't forget Lyla. She finished her dinner long before any of us and then sat and made noises into her cup. Then downed her Oreo with big smiles. I did create one non-picky kid. It's pretty amazing.

So, my house comment probably doesn't count because we don't own our house and we live in Germany, but here's my list:

I'm dying, DYING to have closets again (not a thing in Germany). Also light fixtures would be nice (Germans take their kitchens and light fixtures when they move). I'd also love a big stove that I can fit my cookie sheets in, a big sink, a big garbage can.........

Exciting that you guys are looking at houses, getting back from vacation, celebrating an anniversary. I can totally see Bracken as a lawyer. And- I think that you are just gorgeous, by the way. Very random comment from someone you don't really know, but that's one of the first things I thought when I came across your blog- Wow, Bracken has such a beautiful wife :)
