7th Anniversary

Our celebration for our 7th Anniversary happened a week early, during the week in our pop up at Galveston Island State Park- cause thats what worked for us & thats what sounded most fun.

Funny how life works.  3 weeks ago we had an income to be able to afford a vacation or celebration, just not the time.  Now we have all the time in the world but no income.  We actually spent a good part of one of our days talking and actually physically calculating out if we could afford to sell our house, ride out unemployment and live for a year in the pop-up while we cross the country.  I guarantee our children would learn more in a year living in the wilderness than they would ever learn in school.  We actually already came up with the title of the book we would write in that year...something like -

Unemployed & Pregnant living in 70sq. feet with our almost family of 5

I dunno.  Sounds like a good read to me.  So good, I almost want to live it.  lol.  You think I'm joking. 

Until then...we spent 3 days getting eaten alive by mosquitos, getting a sun burn (in October?!) on the beach & spent 2 nights sweaty with ear plugs cause of a non-working a/c and stupid loud crickets - but it was perfect - we were lazy, read books, played cards, talked, ate, sat in silence, held hands, took long walks....Felt like it had been awhile since we spent that kind of time together :*

Thankfully & gratefully Grandma & Grandpa were able to come over to keep the kiddos safe, fed and loved while we were gone.  Also to be noted - we came back to a stuffed full fridge :)  Thank you ... you both went above and beyond the call of duty.

7 years strong.
