Then: Bryan was working long hours and we didn’t see each other very much. Now: Although we still work long hours, he is always close enough to steal a kiss :)

Then: I didn’t have a dishwasher. Now: I still don’t have a dishwasher.
Then: I rarely bought organic food. Now: Nearly everything we eat is organic and we “splurge” on processed food.

Then: A quiet evening at home use to consist of a tv show or movie. Now: We are quite content to spend the evening reading a good book! My how things have changed :)
