8 glorious years

Yay! It's our 8th wedding anniversary today and Matt is on holiday! I think we have only ever had one or two anniversaries before where we weren't working.

Of course this is the first such occasion with a wee baby around which kind of changes the celebrations (in the best possible way). Less wining, messier dining, and a 6.15am start on a day off. No late night partying for us tonight :-)

It now feels like we have achieved most of original marriage goals - lived overseas, paid off student loan, bought a house and started a family. I believe we planned to have kids 'in about five years' for most the time right up until we actually started trying for a baby.

Now of course we need more marriage goals. Obviously we still have goals we want to achieve as individuals but it is good to have things you want to achieve as a team as well. We are open to suggestions for future goals of awesome. I'm leaning towards world domination as a goal - but I think Dominic is the most likely evil mastermind in the family, so we might need to wait a while before he's up to the challenge. Owning a cow is also a possibility - though the pooperscooper would be hard to weild. Becoming pirates would also rock.

Of course, no future goal can ever top the awesome that is The Dom:
