Monday was our 7-year wedding anniversary.
Seven Years. Seven blissful, crazy, beautiful years.
I truly cannot believe 7 years have passed since that perfect celebration at the Mission Inn Resort surrounded by our closest family and friends.
So, what did we do to celebrate this anniversary? In the past, we would have flown to a beach in Mexico or spend a couple of relaxing weeks exploring my favorite place on earth: Italy.
This year? Not so much. We had a quiet evening together after a long day at work.
Not exactly paradise by most standards but it is our own little version of paradise (minus the work part).
I have to say, staying home as a family was no less wonderful than going off to explore a new destination.
**Okay, let’s be honest, it was a little less wonderful than sipping wine in the Tuscan countryside…it would have been perfect if we were in Italy with the boys, but I digress…
We celebrated by letting the boys have chocolate ice cream bars while we got ready to go out to dinner…

| How happy is Nathan right now?! |
We celebrated by lighting the Unity Candle from our wedding day and letting the boys take turns blowing it out…

| They LOVED this super fun game. |
And, we celebrated with a blissfully quiet dinner out together…
And then, we finished the evening the way we do every single year…by watching our wedding video and reminiscing on that perfect day and the incredible ride we’ve been on together as husband and wife.
Here’s a little clip of our video, I just LOVE this video…
