Nine Years

No way... way... Lee and I have been a married couple for NINE years now. Nine years ago I doubt that I ever imagined what our lives would be like all these years later. I have to admit though that I had an idea. I just thought that some things (like kids) would have happened a lot earlier than now. Lee and I have had more than our share of ups and downs over the past 9 years. Heck there were years that I thought that we wouldn't be together much longer but somehow we've made it this far and I bet we can make it even further. I'd love to match his parents' record of 60 years. Hmmm that would make Lee 99 and me 84.. completely doable.. :) and the girls will be almost 51.

I had a long drive to work this morning so I had lots of time to reflect on our wedding day nine years ago.

That day it was a nice day but by the end of our ceremony it was drizzly and starting to rain. This is a good luck charm btw.
Today was a great day too. Blue sky with no clouds to speak of and just about 70 degrees out.

Nine years ago I was so nervous I threw up while getting ready for the wedding.
Today I felt icky but that was from the babies in my belly.

Nine years ago we feasted on chicken and twice baked potatoes at the reception..
Today we went out for dinner and I had the best Filet Mignon ever and Lee had a Veal Chop that was ok. Our waitress took fabulous care of us and even took our picture for us after we were done eating our dinner.

Nine years ago I got a really nice pair of pearl earrings from Lee and I got him a pocketwatch. Today I got a knitting book of my own (I'd been borrowing a friend's copy) that I had been wanting and I bought Lee 2 new books to read (great timing on my part since he just finished a book today).

I can barely wait to see what the next 9 years will bring us.. especially now that we will have the girls in our lives very very soon.
