8 is Great!

That's right...Team Nedward has hit the big 8 year mark! A lot of my friends asked if I was planning on doing an anniversary cake for Ned as a gift. I realized it was probably more of a gift if I DIDN'T do a cake. I did, however, have some leftover cupcakes lying around and thought I'd make a couple for my sweetie.



Is it REALLY time for an anniversary post already? It is amazing how fast time is flying by. Not too long ago, I felt like a newlywed. Now here we are eight years later and as Ned likes to say "old news". I actually like being old news. I like the comfort and security of having my marriage become a little more deeply rooted with each passing year. I am one of those lucky ladies to have found an awesome husband. Ned has always been my best friend and biggest supporter since the day I met him. Of course, we are not without our stresses! But I appreciate his willingness to share the ride with me. Thanks Ned for all that you do. For your service to your country and your family. For putting up with all of my cupcakes, all of my fondant and powdered sugar. For understanding when the to-do list doesn't always get done. Thanks for laughing with me and being a shoulder to cry on. Thank you for all of your silly jokes and your crazy voices you talk in. (Except ARCI....I really can't stand that voice...) I appreciate you listening and caring about all that is important to me. Thanks for the many doors you have opened for me and the many small acts of service that you do that may or may not go noticed. And of course, thank you for giving me the 3 most beautiful children!

Tatum gets her sweetness from Ned


Carson got Ned's silliness and neverending smile












And Rae Rae is just un-imaginabley adorable. Again...from the Nedster.






I'm one lucky lady!!!
