9 Glorious Years

In the beginning...

Andy and I met while working together at Kinkos! This is Andy's "office" at Kinko's.

Andy proposed to me on my 21st birthday while out to dinner at Macaroni Grill. He had it all set up with the manager who brought my ring out on a silver tray after an opera singer was done singing to me! It was so sweet and so romantic!

Married 1 1/2 years, our first trip to the Oregon Coast together with my parents

Hayden was born less than a year later, just before our 3 year anniversary, for some reason I couldn't find those pictures when I was doing this.

Wheel of Fortune - Married 4 1/2 years

(For those who don't know me well, I was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune, we couldn't take pictures inside so this was all I got.)

Married almost 5 years - St. Maarten

Married almost 6 years - The day we brought Brynley home from the hospital

Most recent Family picture take in Zion's - March 2009

A lot has happened in 9 years... As we were sitting at the pool the other night, Andy looked at me and said, "Did you think this is where we would be 9 years ago?" I laughed. I always imagined we'd have 3-4 kids some day but it is amazing to look back on the last 9 years and see how far we really have come. Many things have happened along this path, sad, exciting, amazing things... We are grateful for all that we have experienced. I am thankful for an amazing husband who loves me for me and would do anything for me and for our family. I look forward to many more years!

Notice how we don't have many pictures of the two of us together since the early days? We need to work on that!
