Seven Years

Barry and I have been married for SEVEN years today! It honestly doesn't feel like seven years at all. We have definitely had our ups and downs, moments where we just wanted to quit and moments where we never wanted it to end. One if my friends, Amanda "Mandy", has been married for six years today so I am stealing something she did in her blog too! 

In the last seven years, Barry and I have lived in two countries. The United States and Germany.

In the last seven years, Barry and I have been stationed at three different bases. Whiteman AFB, Missouri, Buechel Germany (German base) and FE Warren AFB, Wyoming. 

In the last seven years, Barry and I have lived in seven different houses. This does not include staying with family in between moves or during the summer. One house in Missouri, Four houses in Germany and Two houses in Wyoming. 

In the last seven years, Barry and I have had two children. Wynter who is almost six years old and Liliana who is four years old. 

In the last seven years, Barry and I have had three pets. Two cats we got in Missouri and had to give them to a new family about three-four years later when we were in Germany and Wynter kept bugging them and she was getting scratched in the face all the time. It is illegal to declaw pets in Germany. While in Wyoming, we bought a dog. We had her for two weeks about 2 years ago. Liliana hugged the dog and she snapped at her face. I refuse to put animals before my child's safety; therefore, we had to return her. Needless to say, we won't be getting any pets for many years.

This is the card I had my friend make for Barry since he is obsessed with the Colorado Avalanche Hockey Team

Happy 7th Anniversary Barry!
