The Golden Anniversary

You know how you have a golden birthday when you turn the same age as the day your birthday is?  For example, my Golden birthday was when I turned 17 on March 17th.  So why not have the same thing for your anniversary??  Thomas and I did just that, today we celebrated our Golden Anniversary and we filled our time up with some of our favorite things and some of our regular life things and it was totally special and very much us!

Let's go back down memory lane...8 years ago:

We were such babies back then and had our whole lives ahead of us!!

For this monumental anniversary we wanted to throw it back where it all began...our Alma Mater.  We met our first year at Central Washington University, Home of the Wildcats, over 13 years ago and little did we know that that meeting would lead us to a lifetime of happiness.  It actually took us a couple years before we actually started dating.  I knew I had myself a winner when I was able to convince this goofball to join the Cheerleading Team with me!!  I feel that being teammates was invaluable to our relationship, we learned so many skills on how to work together, through adversity, and the elation when we finally hit a stunt we had been working so hard on.  So we brought our girls with us to walk around our campus and show them some of our favorite spots!

And finally where it all really began...in a dorm room in Davies Hall!!

I love you more than words can express and I really wouldn't be able to do this life with anyone else.  More than me, our precious girls are so lucky to call you their Dada and I can't wait to spend another 8 years with you!!  Happy Golden 8th Anniversary to my one and only!!

♥ Ashley
