Eight is Great

Eight years ago I officially became Lil' Swish. We so enjoyed the ceremony and dancing the night away at our reception. We remember being on our honeymoon and looking at our new rings, and trying to wrap our minds around our new roles...husband + wife?!? Fast forward 8 years and here we are! Our marriage has been perfectly imperfect, and we intend to keep it that way. When you get married at the tender age of 22, yes I repeat 22, you have a lot of growing up to do. We are committed to do that growing up together. We have had a blast--traveled, bought a house, got a dog, made babies and created a little Swisher-life together. It hasn't all been roses, we have had our fair share of challenges too. (Hence the perfectly imperfect part.) But those challenges seem to make the good times even sweeter.

Friends and family, always keep us accountable. If we ever forget these things, or decide it's a good idea to take one another for granted, please feel free to knock us upside our heads. Hard. Very, very hard.

Cheers! (And Bubby you rock!)
