Celebrating 8 years together

I was dressed in my suit and had Abby's wedding dress laid out waiting for her when she got home from work on our anniversary (July 19). It's Abby's tradition to put her wedding dress on every year. Last year, she wasn't able to because she was 8 months pregnant at the time. But this year the dress fit beautifully!

We had ourselves a fun little photo shoot out in the front yard before I whisked Abby away to several evening surprises. Abby's sister and brother-in-law, Jenn and Dave, were kind enough to watch Kyah for the evening so that we could venture out and celebrate. 

First on the surprise list was a trip to the spa and an hour-long couples' massage. Abby loved, loved, loved it. That was pretty much the highlight of the evening. We had dinner at a local restaurant we'd never been to, the Pepper Sisters, and it was a fun, unique experience. Then, we treated ourselves to some delicious desert at Pure Bliss. I had one more surprise stop on the list, but by the time we finished desert we were so worn out that we just headed home. 

I am truly blessed to be married to such an amazing woman!
