Anniversary

Today is Pret's and my eight year anniversary!  Thanks to Pret's parents and some dear friends, we a were able to spend a wonderful night away last night. We had both been looking forward to it for days. We both woke up a little giddy in the morning, yesterday, and that spread all the way through today. This morning as we lay in bed, we spent some time going through each of our anniversaries and what we had done for each. I probably should record that somewhere soon so we don't forget them. Each has been great and memorable in their own way. We look forward to as many more in life as God will bless us with and an eternity of them after that...

I include this post on this big for a couple different reasons. 1) when we realized that Pret would be taking the day off work, we also decided to go and pick out the headstone for Stella's grave. Although we have had he desire and the funds available, we had not yet made it a priority. We did today! 

2) Tonight is the Candle Lighting Ceremony for Angel Watch. I wasn't sure we would make it originally when I found out it would be on our anniversary, but after talking with Pret, we decided it would be a great way to celebrate!  We look forward to connecting with other families and remembering out sweet Stella together. 

And in honor of our anniversary, I will also share the picture of he wall to which we finally added our "family plaque!"
