Nine Happy Years

I can't believe Casey and I have been married for nine years. It's gone by so fast. Yet in some ways it feels like we've known each other forever.

It was funny. I came across our wedding album yesterday by accident. If I had been looking for it I'm sure I wouldn't have found it. But while trying to get some of our last few boxes unpacked, I found it. It was fun to look at it with the kids and reminisce. And it was fitting to look at the pictures on our anniversary. Here are a couple of pictures that I scanned into the computer.






We had a fun anniversary. We went out to dinner and then to Fastkart Speedway and had a 40lap race. I was a little hesitant at first while I got a feel for the car but Casey just took off. He passed me when I was only a few laps into the race but after that I did a little better. It was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. And it was nice to have an evening out with Casey without the kids. Hopefully we don't wait until our next anniversary to do it again.

Seriously, I don't know why we bothered getting a new family picture, I think we should just blow up that Russell picture in a 16x20, maybe we could just photoshop a few grandkids in? Congtrats on almost a decade!

OH MY GOSH! It really is crazy to see how everyone has grown. Thanks for the harsh reminder of how hideous I look as a blonde. I remember that my dress sagged on my chest because my boobs were too small so Nola let me wear her fake ones! HA! Isn't that what sisters are for? I bet you didn't know there was such drama on your big day! But congrats on putting up with my big brother for 9 years! Time fly's when your having fun!
