We met eight years ago yesterday, January 29th. We celebrated, but very casually, by camping in our backyard.
 |
| I made a tomato and red pepper soup in our Vitamix (ok, so it wasn't true camping) |
 |
| and Scott cooked quesadillas over our chiminea fire |
 |
| we talked about Scott's day as a P.E. teacher and my first day coaching surfing |
 |
| then we played Gin Rummy and checkers and finished our food |
I know we have a new anniversary now that we are married, but it just doesn't feel right not to acknowledge this original anniversary in some way. That night changed us forever. When I met Scott I knew who I was, but I had no idea how he would breathe so much life into that person. And our life together is the only one I want.

What a great way to commemorate such a momentous day. Quesadillas over an open flame? Delicious. I loved reading about how you guys met!

Awww, looks perfect! Happy anniversary to you two!
I just found your blog, and am a new follower!
So sweet... Sean and I celebrated our 11 year "togther" anniversary just a few days before our big 1 year wedding anniversary. I don't think the former should be forgotten in light of the latter. Both are significant. And seriously.. how did I miss that Scott is a P.E. teacher? Is that most guys' dream job? On of my husband's dreams for sure. Somehow he missed the mark and is a high school special ed teacher. Hahah. He enjoys it so alls well that ends well.
How touching "I knew who I was, but I had no idea how he would breathe so much life into that person"
so cute! and so shocked that you can be outside at night in shorts at this time of the year :) hahah. Colorado is a different world!
i am a new follower and i am so excited to be here!
What a beautiful thing to celebrate. Without that first meeting your new anniversary wouldn't even exist!
