YAY!<BR/>We live in a studio apartment in Scotland (moved there 3 days after the wedding for my husbands work)...its been a tough first few months, but every day its getting better and I'm loving him more!<BR/>I'm thankful for my husband's patience.

I think though if I were going to do it over again I would go white with accents of red and black. A friend of ours did that and it was gorgeous!! today I am thankful that my husband is the good man he is. He is a divorce attorney and I work in his office 2 days a week. When I hear the stories of the people going through divorce I realize what a truly kind, loving, patient, caring, and helpful man he is. When he comes home to a trashed house and no dinner and I say "I took the day off." he ALWAYS says "Good you deserve it." :)Corie Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417892378006809852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-34216350001298174072008-08-19T10:43:00.000-06:002008-08-19T10:43:00.000-06:00I'm so happy!

You also wear mis-matched socks, and your husband (like mine) doesn't mind. haha, everyone else on the planet comments on my mis-matched socks... but not him. Not my husband! haha My first year was also a wreck. (Ok, so my first THREE years!!) Since we've only been married 3 years.... I hope our ups become more frequent and our arguments become more about the dishes than our commitment to each other! :) You give me hope, and I loved reading about your experience. Thankful Monday, what a great idea! :) Congratulations on 8 years, and good luck with the next 60 or so years!!Aubrey Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17606697533523154620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-11838047341058269692008-08-19T08:47:00.000-06:002008-08-19T08:47:00.000-06:00So 8 1/2 years ago my colors were Dark Green and W...So 8 1/2 years ago my colors were Dark Green and White with a little burgandy. I personally wouldn't choose that again, but have no idea what I would choose now. Something more bright and fun and outside with tons of flowers! My wedding was in Feb so to cold to have it outside, I was a little bummed about that. I totally remember you on your wedding day, beautiful! I don't particularly remember the bridesmaid dresses you made them wear, maybe you should include a pic =).

My first wedding colors were black and red. It was a fall wedding. My second wedding color was peach. It was a spring wedding. It was beautiful, and if I had it to do over I'd pick peach again...but this time on the beach, which I actually hope to do when we renew our vows. <BR/>Oh and BTW, I found you via a comment on SITS. =)Putting the FUN in DysFUNctionalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02996772324484385959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-11753903948488051692008-08-18T19:52:00.000-06:002008-08-18T19:52:00.000-06:00My colors were white/cream and dark green.

Maybe add a light beige as well.<BR/><BR/>I'm thankful for blogging. My food blog helps keep me motivated to cook delicious foods, instead of always breaking out ramen or mac n' cheese. My family blog helps me remember the small things that happen during the day, and keeps me connected to the rest of my family. And I just started a new blog about homemaking that I hope will motivate me to make my home beautiful. Blogging is a wonderful tool that has so many good benefits, and I am thankful for it!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12591387295768935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-85578968722699569422008-08-18T18:18:00.000-06:002008-08-18T18:18:00.000-06:00Happy Anniversary!

I had them made - from a seamstress - and they turned out terrible... well, maybe just bad. I wish I would have forked out the $$ and went with David's bridal! And I should hunt down the DJ that we had at our reception. He was TERRIBLE. He actually played Pink's "Let's get this party started" as we entered the room! (um, not our requested swing music at all.) For those not married (if any), get a real band. <BR/>I guess we never know as much as we think we do :) I know that our marriage has also been a challenging trip, but one that is definitely definitely worth it.TroxelTribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05333221560911681108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-50470600248591813542008-08-18T11:49:00.000-06:002008-08-18T11:49:00.000-06:00My wedding colors were pink, navy and white, My fa...My wedding colors were pink, navy and white, My favorite color, and my husbands.
