8th Wedding Anniversary!

Rick and I are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary on the 26th of this month! Time flies so fast. Here's a little comparision of where we were 8 years ago compared to today-


Then: Only one child (Nicholas - 4 years old)
Now: House full of kids and animals (Nicholas age 12, Ellie age 5, and Aiden age 3). To date we have 2 cats (soon to be many more, Bootsie is prego and due any day!) and 1 fish that's swimming and 2 that are floating.


Then: Apartment living - rent $625 a month
Now: Home owners - Mortgage way too high to disclose (more than double what it was 8 years ago!)


Then: Not active in church at all
Now: Very active (in fact it's pretty rare that we miss a Sunday). I currently teach Aiden's primary class and love every second of it!


Then: Rick - 20 lbs. lighter, Lindsay 10 lbs. lighter
Now: Just bought a treadmill and will be back at that pre-wedding weight at no time!


Then: Lindsay - full time college student and working at a pharmacy as a technician. Rick - working construction as a rough framer (lucky to get a 30 hour work week in!)
Now: Lindsay - full time sales position with Wireless Resources, Inc. Rick - full time postion with The Home Depot (he's working on 7 years!!)


We've come a long way over the last 8 years! Happy Anniversary Rick!

Excuse me, Jason? I think we are commenting on Lindsay, not on how you are making extra cash! Lindsay, do you know this Jason?
