Dateiversary! And EIGHT years in Pictures

First off- Happy Veterans Day to all those who have served and

fought for this beautiful country. We truly are the Land of the Free because of the brave. 

Secondly- Happy EIGHT Year Dateiversary to main man, soon-to-be-husby,

cooker of amazing steaks, fur-baby-daddy to Jake, love of my life, 

best friend in the whole entire universe... Bry :)

I am feeling rather nostalgic today so I have a little treat for you all-
EIGHT (I don't know why I continue to spell out and capitalize this word)
years in Corin and Bryan...
Can I get a "YAAYYY??!"

2005

Out to eat- when we were the obnoxious 10%
tipping 16 year olds.
Thank you, karma, later on in my serving years.

2006

Halloween 2006.. dirty pirate hooker and Bryan's rather fitting keg costume

2011

Valentine's Day in NYC

A very spontaneous weekend get away and one of my most FAVORITE trips. 

Heart is happy :)

2012

Pumpkin beers in Boston!

I will go ahead and say that discovering, not only pumpkin beer in general, but

that it is so deliciously accented with a cinnamon sugar rim was in our top 5 

favorite moments as a couple. It should have been a Shipyard commercial for crying out loud. 

2013

Engaged in Punta Cana

I would be completely lying to you if I said that looking back at those

photos didn't just melt my heart and bring even the teeniest tear to my eye. 

Cheesy as it may sound, it REALLY doesn't feel like 8 years ago that Bryan

asked me, on a FREEZING cold drunken camping trip night, to be his girlfriend. 

We have been through our fair share of ups and downs.

We have run all of Bryan's businesses TOGETHER and working together is not an easy task.

We are a team. We're partners. We're best friends. 

But mostly, we are in love.

I love you Bry!

Ok- no more sappy lovey blog posts for a while now! I promise.

Until Wedding Wednesday..

Juuuuust kidding.

BUT on another note... I am slightly irritated that once we are married 

we're technically no longer allowed to celebrate our dating anniversary.

EIGHT (there it goes again, people) YEARS that are just unaccounted for?

No... I'm sorry, but no. 

So cheers to 8 years and this new, fun word that popped up on Urban Dictionary..

DATEIVERSARY!
