August 1, 2006.
Eight years ago today, Chris and I were married.
It has been an amazing ride. Wonderful, stressful, fulfilling, challenging, amazing. Without the two of us coming together there would be no little Simon dude. My life would not be the same without Chris. I doubt I would be doing what I do. We support each other, cheer each other on, and challenge one another to live up to our potential and beyond. We are friends. We are companions. And so much more.
We enable each other to follow the passions in our hearts and minds. Now that, that is an amazing gift.
Marriage is such an interesting journey. The ups and downs and ins and outs. The waking up next to each other and putting one foot in front of the other even when it seems like the craziest thing in the world. Of couse, it never really is easy...but it is worth it. Chris is worth it. Simon is worth it. And I am worth it.
So cheers...to us.
Congratulations, Ali & Chris! Isn't just awesome when you are married to the man of your dreams! :)

Tomorrow it is my 9 year anniversary to my Husband. I agree. Hard to believe how much everything changes with the addition of children and how much we have each grown up.
Hope you both have a great night together.

congratulations! it is wonderful that you can look back, not only to that first day you said "I DO", but also toward the amazing journey you have taken together so far... one of my favorite quotes (stolen from moulin rouge...) "the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." have fun on the rest of the journey...may you discover places you never thought of going before...

Ali, what a breathtaking photo! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! My husband and I will celebrate 19 years in December. With 3 teenagers our lives are rather hectic, but we are a team, and we support each other in everything. I know I am lucky, and I am so blessed! It sounds like you have a similar marriage. Ain't life grand?
