Happy Anniversary to me ...

Nine years! Wow. How time flies when you're ... going crazy? That's about how life feels sometimes. We took a one night getaway to La Jolla last weekend for our anniversary. Our new adopted grandparents - John and Jessie took Lucas and Marisa for the night. (They were THRILLED!!) Our anniversary took on new meaning this year as we were very thankful to have each other. The week before, my good friend lost her husband and father in a tragic plane crash. She is left with 3 young girls to raise. Amazing how all the petty little annoyances go away when you realize how insignificant all your whinings are.
The actual day of our anniversary - Wed, Sept 30, I had planned a nice meal (meaning I bought something from the store all ready prepared so it would taste good) and we sat at the dining room table. I had pictured nice conversation around the table with Lucas and Marisa about love, marriage, God, faithfulness etc etc. Then we were going to all 4 move to Marisa's bed and look at wedding albums and I was going to attempt to fit into my wedding dress for Lucas and Marisa to see. It was such a nice evening - in my mind. We actually talked about school and homework, fought over bedtime, rushed through showers and they went to bed without seeing the skintight wedding dress. (Some things are best left alone.)
Happy Anniversary - I love you!
OH, and I appear to have forgotten that I own a camera. We still look the same - few more pounds, a little less hair, a little more gray, a few wrinkles here and there ...

Wow! Has it been 9 years! I remember when Victor brought you to our Shepherding group and of course all of the girls immediately noticed the ring on your finger! Congratulations! I am impressed the wedding dress was skin tight... I do not think mine would even begin to zip!
