A few days ago was our 8 year wedding anniversary. We didn’t do anything that many would consider special. It was just another night at home with the family. But that’s what made it special. I’ve really been enjoying my family lately and life has been good.
To my wife: We’ve been together a long time, but I still look forward to the many years ahead, watching our family grow up and our children have children of their own. I love you more every day.

So sweet, John! Happy Anniversary to you and your wife! Thanks for linking my post. We’re still working on pushing back that bed time, but it’s hard to do when they’re so darn cute!

Happy Anniversary. May you have many more happy and wonderful ones in the future. Oh, and don’t let that alcohol budget get too high.
I can tell you that when it comes to alcohol in the past, Kelly and I used to buy our brands regardless of price but in the last 4 years it’s been, “OK, we have $15 dollars for alcohol, what are we getting?” It’s worked out rather well I must say.
We have found so many great wines for under $8 dollars it’s amazing. And for beer, when we buy it (not really big beer drinkers) it’s whatever is on sale that week!
So in honor of your Anniversary, allow me to make a wine suggestion for a wine that is excellent and cost only $8 dollars; Gato Negro Merlot by Bodegas San Pedro out of Chile. Enjoy
