milestones: 8 years. 6 months.


today marks the middle day between two very important milestones.

yesterday was the the eight year anniversary of topher and i meeting.  in the wedding blog world, i've often seen this referred to as a "meetaversary."

ok.

tomorrow is the six month anniversary of our moving to cambodia.  of our physical arrival on cambodian soil, marking the true official beginning of this amazing job, journey, experience.

6 months in Cambodia and Day One in Cambodia
topher and i have never been the hugest of anniversary celebrating type people.  we much prefer the random moments to the official ones- like that time that he got me a wii on our four months married anniversary.

but we've always acknowledged that day that we met.  we may still disagree about a few things, like what i was wearing that day, but still.

so here's to eight years, topher, and to six months living this amazing cambodian life.

Then. Now.
cheers to choosing to embark on this awesome, joyful, crazy ride of peace corps volunteerism together.

cheers to finally remembering meeting each other that cold january night freshman year.

cheers to eight long, whirlwind years of a lot of laughing, the right amount of crying, and an amazing amount of other -ings.

and here's to eighty years more and many months more living in the kingdom of wonder.
