Stevie and I tied the knot! It was also around this time 8 years ago that we started dating at Sam Houston. It's scary to think how quickly this time has passed. The picture below is our first "family" photo. The little rodent in Stevie's arms is Max the ferret. I hate to speak ill of the dead, but I hated this guy. He smelled awful, he was constantly biting me, he pooped and peed all over the house, he stole all our socks and hid them in a hole in the couch, he squirmed and squeaked and always managed to run out of the house whenever I opened the door to leave. I can't count how many times I had to get our neighbor to fish him from underneath my car. Some days I was tempted to just leaving him there. Regardless, he was our first family addition. This was also our first apartment. Actually, this was Stevie's first apartment that I somehow wiggled my way into making 'ours'. I remember telling him that I needed to stay there for a month or so as I was moving from one dorm to the next. So...fast forward 8 years and I STILL have not moved into that dorm! Go figure.

We actually shared this twin bed for about a year. If that's not love, I don't know what is.

Our new and improved family at the zoo this weekend.

   It has been the most interesting, lovestruck, growth-filled years of my life. There is no one I would rather spend my days hearing laugh than you, Larami.

   I came across your blog on Mommytoo.com where you shared your breastfeeding story. Beautiful! I am a breastfeeding mama as well and it's great to hear stories of others. Also I'm in an IR marriage and it's neat to meet other bw in IR marriages as there aren't many.
