9 years

Today marks 9 years since the moment that Justin and I committed our lives to each other and became one. I have a friend who makes a list when their anniversary comes around and I always love it, so I am stealing her idea...
9- 9 different homes (apartments, townhomes, sub-leases, etc.) we've lived in
8- 8 years of schooling and training
7- 7 different vehicles we've owned
6- 6 major medical experiences (childbirth not included)
5- 5 crazy people going in different directions trying to be a family!
4- 4 different states of residence
3- Amazing kiddos to keep us busy
2- Homes of our own (sold one last week, bought a new one today!)
1-life like we never planned, but more blessed than we imagined!

The last nine years have been such a crazy ride. I am so glad to have experienced them with Justin. When we said "I do" 9 years ago I loved you Justin. I love you SO much more now. You are such a wonderful man and husband. I'm looking forward to another 9 years and more!

Happy Anniversaries!!!!

This is a big week and important week for Justin and me. Without this week in the calendar we wouldn't be here. :)
So this blog is dedicated to 4 people who will never read it... To Tim, Cathy, Randy and Ann. Thanks for being wonderful parents and for hanging onto your marriages and your faiths for so long.

Congratulations Tim & Cathy on 30 years. Elvis' death doesn't outshine you in our eyes.

Congratulations Randy & Ann on 39 years. That is a really long time... (I just wanted to make you feel old) And thanks for not holding it against me that I can never actually remember the date. :)

We are proud of you, and proud that we belong to you.
