Eight Years and Counting

24^th July is a very meaningful day to us. It’s held closer to our hearts than the day we got married. This was the very day Sean asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes. We committed ourselves to each other on this day, exactly eight years ago. We promised to standby each other 24/7.

From courtship to marriage to starting a family together, we have gone through many ups and downs together. Not forgetting many of our firsts too! I’m glad that both of us held onto this never-ending roller-coaster ride, screaming our lungs out in unison, staying by each other’s side, and becoming stronger and fearless as a couple J

Here’s a look through of the eight years, in pictures!

When we just started out, back in 2004.

After a year of courtship, we got married J

We got ourselves a pet dog, Paris, a year into marriage

First few years of marriage

Can’t remember which year exactly, but it should be between 2007 – 2008. The year Sean became a Mindef Reserve (MR). No more reservists (or ICTs, as they call it now)!

In 2009, we said goodbye to Sean’s first pet rabbit. Dusty was 7-8 years old.

I also graduated that year with a Bachelor in Mass Communication from Murdoch University. Sean was nothing short of being supportive throughout my entire academic years. So thankful to have him support me through it all!

Also taken in 2009, at Sentosa, before I entered the workforce

At the beginning of 2010, we had news of our pregnancy! J

This was taken about a month before Blake joined us.

And Blake came along in September 2010! J

Had a day to ourselves before 2010 ended.

Much needed then, but no longer required cos we prefer to spend the time together as a family now!

Just a short photo journey through our eight years together. I'm very sure that if our health permits, we'll be together, holding hands, and walking through another 80, 800, and many more years together! ♥
