8 years of marriage (and a giveaway)

8 years ago on the 28th of December I married my soul mate. We were 20 years old and dumb. We sure have learned a lot in 8 years and we sure have grown up. We have moved well over 10 times (with another one to come) and have been through 3 year long deployments. We now have two beautiful children and a crazy dachshund and I wouldn't change a thing.


My amazing husband send me 24 long stemmed red roses. We weren't able to be together since right now we are living apart until we buy a house.

In honor of my anniversary and me just wanting to pay it forward I am giving away a $10 dollar Starbucks gift card. It's not much but it's enough to get you a couple of drinks!!

To enter:
You must be a follower of this blog through Google Friend Connect and you must comment and tell me what your favorite drink from Starbucks is.

For one additional entry you can tweet about the giveaway and comment here with a link to your tweet! That's it!

The winner will be drawn at random on Friday, January 4th.

  1. Congratulations! I'm a new follower of your blog and I don't drink coffee, but my husband loves the caramel macchiato so if I won I would give him the gift card.

    It's so weird that I stumbled across your blog because we share the same anniversary! My husband and I got married on December 28, 1998, so we just celebrated 14 years of marriage. We were young, too (22 & 23). We got married on a Monday night at the courthouse because my husband's family was against us getting married so young. So it was kind of an elopement. We now have 3 kids and a miniature poodle. My husband is my best friend and 12/28 is one of the best days of my life (along with the dates my kids were born).

    Happy anniversary!!!

  16. Happy Anniversary!! (& congrats on the home). Very happy for you guys!!

    My favorite drink right now has to be the Caramel Brulee Latte, I'm going to be sad to see it go. My go-to is the iced vanilla latte, because its usually hot as balls down here & its perfect. I really like the iced chai tea lattes, too.

  22. I guess my other comment never got posted, I can never comment from my phone for some reason. :\

    Anyway!! Congrats on 8 years!! I so hope you guys get a house soon. I know you've been apart during deployments, but knowing that you COULD be living together right now has to be hard, too.

    My fave Starbucks drink is a skinny caramel macchiato. :)
