Holy {8}Eight{8} Years!

I would love to share my beautiful, non-digital, pre-photoshop wedding pics, but I really don't have the time or desire to scan them. We aren't doing much to celebrate romantic style...but I know we'll have fun anyway - Kelsi knows it's a special day for us and Kaitlyn is wondering where the party is going to be....So here's to 8 years and counting on ETERNITY :)

Today, Monday, is our anniversary....So to celebrate I thought I would share the funniest anniversary post that I've ever read. If you've never seen seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com then check it out. This was the first post I read and it cracked me up. I honestly didn't even know if it was real or not. Sad huh! It's basically a satirical "made-up" blog, that pokes fun at the too perfect mormon blogs that you know are out there! I've read about the girl that writes it...supposedly she's a returned missionary and even some of her friends don't know that she is the writer of this blog. She uses her fake husband's initials and not his actual name. I'm probably not supposed to copy/paste these posts, but whatever...don't tell K?

It's long, but it's worth reading...promise~

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME! This day brings back a literal flood of pure, wholesome, unsullied joyful love magic memories. Marriage is COMPLETE BLISS and we have had non-stop fun since we married! No, since we met! No, since we were BORN! No, since the PRE-MORTAL EXISTENCE! Couldn’t get any funner. Memory lane, here we come!!
It was basically a kick-A fairy tale day I swear. Planning my wedding (JJWT always calls it “ours” but whatever) was the third hardest thing I’ve EVER done, after that semester of hair school/college when I took 12 hours…ugh!...and also after I read THREE HUGE BOOKS in one day when I became obsessed with and hardcore addicted to this GORGEOUS fake vampire! Anyways, despite the stress, everything worked out PERFECT and most important, I did good at looking smokin’ hot (in an uplifting way) and way drop dead sexy gorgeous and literally every single person that saw me told me I belonged in a magazine for sure and let’s be honest, they were right!!! My BFF from hair school and 10 other bridesmaids helped me make sure my tiara and vale and face sparkles were SO stinkin’ perfect, while my OTHER 10 bridesmaids ironed my clothes for the honeymoon, and my OTHER 10 bridesmaids prepared the photofetti (teensy pics of us to throw at me when I left that night!! HEAVEN ON EARTH), while my little sisters and younger girl cousins rubbed my feet and fed me grapes…seriously, so cool.
So, blahblahblah, ceremony, blahblahblah, time for PITCHERS! I came out for pics and there was TONS of brides out there, which not to be rude but I was TICKED cuz I’d reserved all the rooms under fake names so we could be the ONLY ones, but some brats snuck through, which was a huge trial for me so I prayed for patience. Anyone who knows me at all knows that I HATE to be mean, but I had to tell them to move it or lose it since after all, it was MY WEDDING DAY. Plus, my ring (my dad gave JJWT the diamond and then he spent tons of his pest control/security systems money on the setting I had designed in 8th grade and been sleeping with it under my pillow since girls camp 2002) AND tiara (which my mom brought home from Italy way before I got engaged and then told JJWT to get crackin' because she didn't see what the hold up was now that I had my tiara) AND my rhinestone flip-flops were glittering in the incredibly perfect sunny sunshine and couldn’t be more beautiful (at least, that’s what everyone said).
Then, my RECEPTION = AWESOME. We invited 2500 people and every single one of them came!!! My cake was GINORMOUS and it had a Mickey and Minnie bride and groom on it because two weeks after JJWT and I started dating, he came to DISNEYLAND with my fam on the best vay-cay EVER and we got mouse ears with our names on them and inside of mine JJWT had them write, "To my favorite Mousketeer" and then we took TONS of pics of us kissing wearing them! So basically my ginormous cake was unique and romantic and exspecially special. After the reception and the photo-fetti, it was time for our H-moon, so we hopped on a plane (first class--thanx again dad!!!) and we went to Hawaii were we stayed in a family condo we have there and took thirty thousand pics (all appropriate!!! :)). JJWT learned to surf, I learned to hula, we ate special fish and went snorkeling and bought pineapples and got way tan. Oh, and Pearl Harbor…total downer! But then we went to a luau and I totally forgot about it.
