the magic 8

I wonder what the magic 8 ball would have said had we rolled it when we got married 8 years ago?!  Highs and Lows of the past 8 years together
high- we have done it all together
low and high- medical school.  do i need to say more?
high- the friends we have made
low- the friends and family left behind as we move
high- two amazing kids
high - living in DC (and plenty of visitors) then in Hawaii (with even more visitors)
high and low- residency  again, do i need to say more?!
high- finishing graduate school and medical school
low- those few $ in student loans we have racked up
high- being married in the temple, and the amazing wards we have lived in. 
low- our first apt together that was just plain disgusting!
high- i can see the ocean from my window right now.

and the just plain crazy:  Sept 11 after just moving to DC (and working in the capital), The DC sniper, made it through a hurricane in DC, an earthquake in Hawaii- oh and don't forget that hurricane currently headed toward us! 

Although we are still waiting for an "easy " year- I would do it all again with you by my side!!  Love you koch

Wow, 8 years! Does that scare you that your whole marriage has been spent just getting your husband ready to actually start working? I told Trav that when D-Day actually arrives he better not turn out to be a dead beat!

Congratulations! That is so exciting-8 years! You guys have been through a lot-every time I look at your blog it makes me more determined to save for a trip to Hawaii! I can't believe how much you have been through in DC! Wow.

Congrats you guys! It was fun reading your highs and lows from the last eight years, great idea to take a step back and remember and write those down. Well you two have for sure had an exciting life as a married couple. Can't say life with the military is every boring and routine right?!

Love your highs and lows... let me just apologize one last time for that first apartment. But just think if it had been fabulous what sort of memory would that have been- BORING! Love you guys and thanks for sharing some of your highs and lows with us!
