This past Sunday, we celebrated eight years of marriage and our 2nd anniversary of the date of our marriage with both sets of parents and an aunt and uncle.

The big party was held at our favorite local restaurant, Chef Geoff's, but still was only a pale copy of our actual wedding reception in that it was only five courses instead of seven. We did make a special request of wild pacific salmon, that many of our guests took advantage of, and I especially liked the mushroom and goat cheese crostini and fried green tomato appetizers, not to mention the third course of lemon-lime sorbet.

The deserts were small reflections of our wedding cakes--a chocolate one for us, and a white cake for the mother of the bride.

We'll hold an even bigger party in another four years!
