9 YEARS

20 years ago I first laid eyes on Jake at Summer Camp

9 years ago today Jake and I were married

6 homes

3 kids

1 nutty dog later...

I can honestly say I love him more than ever. 

So here is a little re-cap of our weekend (now that I have made a little room on my hard drive to upload some photos). 

Our time began with a bottle of champagne, which was drunk rather quickly.

My husband likes to sabre his champagne bottle.  A little strange, perhaps?  I think so.  He has come along way since our wedding where he decided against serving champagne since it tastes, and I quote, "like throw up water."

The view from my deck chair.  Sorry about my feet...

Reading magazines in bed in the early afternoon.  I also need to add that I napped and woke up with drool on the pillow. 

Kirby, looking for some ball action.  I did take her for a little trail jog.  We saw 4 deer too.

Opening an impressive bottle of red.

Drinking that red alongside a melted brie appie.

More champagne.  And yes, I was heavy with the drink.

My view from the rowboat.  Yet another glass of wine and a journal...life is good.

Jake rowing us our to the boat, on our way to dinner together.

Jake's view (of my hair, mostly)...

Bumped into friends on Bowen Island where we were dining.  Katie wants to be the star of a Broadway Musical...can't you tell?

Which brings us to the last picture...

I am so blessed to be married to you...the first and only love of my life.
