A Lot Can Happen in Nine Years


Nate and I just celebrated our ninth anniversary. It's crazy how different life is from when we first met doing dishes at Little Caesars. Who would have thought we'd actually get married and populate the world with little crazy people (just kidding kids). We have had a great time. . . most of the time. We have had good times, bad times, successes, and failures. Whatever we have done we have been in it 100% together. I think that's what makes our marriage work. Nate is my very best friend. I love him! I mean, only a great man would take his wife to Color Me Mine to paint celebratory plates for their anniversary date. We also had a fun time hiking a trail up Squaw Peak. . .really, all we did was hike. We finally used a gift certificate Nathan's brother gave him on graduation to the Olive Garden. And of course, what date would be complete without a walk around Walmart. I was a wonderful anniversary. A special thanks to my big sister who let my kids stay at her house so Nate and I could enjoy our anniversary.

Happy anniversary! I still think that your wedding was one of the most beautiful I've ever been to.

And nobody's going to believe that you only hiked Squaw Peak. ;)

Looks like you had a blast! My kids loved having your kids over so seriously anytime you need a break bring them over. Do you need me to pick up your color me mine stuff? Nikki and Conner love that place! Nikki is having her birthday party there! See you soon!
