Happy Wednesday! Yesterday, the Hubs and I celebrated 8 years of married life. Wow! It seems like it was just yesterday that we had our simple and intimate wedding at a Chapel in New York City (less than 25 family and friends were there). I&#8217;m so blessed to be married to a guy that I don&#8217;t just love but actually really like. I like spending time with my Hubs, and planning our future together. I just can&#8217;t imagine life without him. I&#8217;m so grateful to the Lord for the gift of a Christ centered marriage ( we strive to have this) and a loving husband, I don&#8217;t take this blessing for granted because I know not all marriages are like this. Successful marriages don&#8217;t just happen, it takes works! Thank you, God!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7710\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7710\" style=\"width: 3264px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7710\" src=\"http:\/\/calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"3264\" height=\"2448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1.jpg 3264w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-1200x900.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">8 years ago with my Hubs!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I told my Hubs,not to get me flowers because I&#8217;d rather have food.

We really didn&#8217;t want to go to Bellevue or Seattle just for dinner. The traffic isn&#8217;t worth it. We like Flat Iron Grill because the food is great and the service is even better. It&#8217;s always a bonus when we can support our local businesses too.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7712\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7712\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption
