Nine Years!

My wife and I celebrated our ninth anniversary last Thursday. I really can not believe we've been married for nine years + three years of dating before that. I can't even believe we've been out of college that long. Where did the time go?

Our anniversary was excellent. That's even with everyone in the house having some kind of cold/sinus thing. We had a quiet (doesn't happen very often) dinner together after the kids were in bed. Dinner was delicious. And we made it a point to talk about things other than the kids. It was fun reminiscing about how much has happened in the last nine years. Apartments. Houses. Churches. Neighbors. Friends. It's been a busy nine years. I don't see the next nine+ being any less busy. But I do see them getting better and better.

Here's a couple pictures. My wife is more beautiful than ever. Me...well, I'm alright. Overall, I think we've aged pretty well.

and NOW (8/30/2008)

Wow...our ten year anniversary is right around the corner. We're thinking of doing something big. Maybe a trip together. Maybe Florida. A cruise. I don't know.

Happy anniversary! Your first nine years of marriage have been wonderful to witness and I can't wait to see the blessings the next nine years bring. A big celebratory trip for the 10th anniversary sounds grand...or you could embrace the retro and go to the zoo and give each other flirtatious paper plate awards.
