Our 6th Year Wedding Anniversary

We celebrated our 6th year wedding anniversary yesterday!  Look at us...six years ago...awe, sooooo in love and ready to take on the world together.

We took advantage of Nana and Papa taking the kids for us, to work on our house.  Greg worked with John from his work on making the front of our house have better curb appeal while I worked on the inside giving it a fresh coat of paint.  We topped it off with a nice dinner of pupus at The Oyster Bar in town on the roof top overlooking a cruise ship that's visiting.  It's great to see the cruise ships in =$$ :)

We came back, changed out of our nicer clothes and got to work painting again. Things are looking good.

Back to our anniversary...
As time are tough right now all round the U.S. and as our family grows and Greg's business is trying to get off the ground, times are a bit sketchy, unknown, exciting, stressful, promising, full of hope (and sometimes despair), so I thought I'd use this post to sorta list why I should be happy.  To look at what Greg and I have accomplished since marrying 6 years ago...

1.  We have made is 6 years!!  This is huge.  marriage is hard, it takes work, and we are working it.  Yay!

2.  We have two WONDERFUL children...they are our true blessings and I think we are doing a pretty good job.

3.  We bought a house and are paying our mortgage (yay for that, huh?!)

4.  We made the HUGE move to another city, state, culture  - this was a huge dream for us...I need to remember that I am actually living my dream (the good and the bad, we are doing it!)

5.  I am about to be a landlord. Who wulda thunk it.  (wish us luck!)

6.  We are looking to move to a great big house with bi-coastal views of all of West Maui, on two acres where the kids can explore, catch bugs, take nature walks, and then get cozy at night...all in HAWAII!  wow!

7. We are blessed that we are able to help my parents as they face a new challenge.  This will be an experience...I want to take it as that, as time we will never get back, as times where Cam and Leah can really get to know their Papa and Nana.  I want this to help my parents get good jobs, make money, save up and let them get in a good place to feel good again.

Six years...and while life gets more and more complicated, thankfully the simple love that Greg and I have for each other runs deeper than ever.
