one year ago today we celebrated five little girls and seven good years.
two years ago dan was interviewing for jobs. we were trying to decide if our home would be in
green bay, or indianapolis, or milwaukee. i had just found out i was pregnant with sara.
three years ago we were holding down the fort with a two week old baby tess.
four years ago we started training for a half marathon, just months after dan ran his first marathon.
five years ago i had just found out i was pregnant with annie.
six years ago we were going out for our final dinner as a family of three....erin would be here soon.
seven years ago we bought our first house, moving out of downtown milwaukee with a four month old baby kate.

eight years ago, on a freezing cold afternoon in chicago, we said i do.


i never could have predicted this timeline....`i never would have hoped for such amazing things.

in the uncertainty of this month, and this year, i tell myself over and over that everything will be fine.
together, i think we do pretty amazing things.

happy anniversary, babe. it's been a great eight years. here's to a great fifty-eight more.
