Eight Years

Two weeks after Marlowe's birthday, we celebrated our eighth anniversary. This past Monday.
It's been four years since we've moved to Philly. Going out for our anniversary was one of the first things we did when we got here. I was hugely pregnant. Four years later, half of marriage later, we have two kids.

We've come so far, by the grace of God.

For our anniversary, we went out with NO kids! Sometimes it's less stress to just bring Marlowe. Now it's getting to be the other way. So we just don't go out without our kids or we just stay home (besides, we kind of like them). But you can't go see movies with them (at least not all movies). So Grammy and Poppy obliged. Even put them to bed for us! Yay!

We went to see the new Star Trek movie, which we LOVED! Despite any flaws. It was so fun! I think the last movie I saw in a theater was Ratatouille. Hmm. (Almost two years ago.) In fact, we go to movies so seldomly, that ticket prices are always raised every time we go. We did NOT want to go home after the movie, so we grabbed some ice cream at Friendly's. But then we got the call that Marlowe was on the war path for mommy, so home we went. We had so much fun, though!!
