Every September 2nd I have felt like it was just yesterday that Nate and I got married.
This year, on the eve of our bronze anniversary, I just can’t believe it has only been eight years. I look back at the people we were that day and think only God could have known that we would be such a great fit now (and that it would take several years for us to hit a stride 
).
While I’m hoping he hasn’t gotten me a bronze pendant and am not quite sure what else comes in bronze that I could get excited about, I will say that I LOVE that this is our bronze anniversary. We made it on the medal stand, but not without room for improvement. We have much to celebrate, but have only just begun the real training.
Tonight as I was putting lotion on the children (a must for little brown people — I have been told) I said to Eden as she was squealing, dancing, laughing (the child loves “lotion-time”), “Mommy loves Eden.” She looked back at me and said “Daddy loves Mommy.”
Fitting.
I had no idea it would take us eight years to start this family — this insta-family. Yet I can’t imagine us any other way.
What an awesome family photo! There is NO doubt that those kids were always yours, even when you didn’t even know about them. You guys look like old pros (even if you don’t always feel that way!)
Happy anniversary Sara & Nate!

you should write a book. Happy Anniversary. It just gets better and better every year and I’m not sure anything draws you closer than going through an adoption together.

Love,
Stacey
