8

In Chinese numerology the number 8 represents longevity.

Eight years ago Keith and I met on a flight from Edmonton to Calgary. 

Since then we've been through significant life events. Our children graduated high school and then college and university, found careers and in some cases life partners.  We supported each other through a significant health event and job loss. One of us went back to school while the other found new employment. A house flooded, a parent became ill, cars crashed and life threw curve balls. But together we stood as one, managing to find humour and adventure. We travelled and hiked and learned to scuba dive together.

So on our Anniversary, with our children and their significant others around us, we affirmed our committment to each other and got married amidst the beauty of the mountains at one of our favorite spots in Canmore, Alberta.
