Nine Years!

Andy and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on Wednesday, June 13. WOW!! I still can't believe it's already been nine years. We celebrated with a nice dinner out and then a trip to Target (I know it's not very romantic, but hey we didn't have any kids with us and I had to get diapers and apple juice!!). We ended the night with ice cream from Marble Slab. It was nice to be out with Andy and actually be able to talk and enjoy our meal. I have the most wonderful husband in the world!! He is so thoughtful and always very helpful with the kids. I tried to reflect upon the past nine years and what we have experienced. Here's just a quick list of what we've been through:

• Lived in 4 different cities (Brandon, Hattiesburg, Gulfport, Biloxi)
• 8 different job changes between the two of us
• Purchased 3 homes (one we built)
• Purchased 4 vehicles
• Adopted a dog (our first child - Mollie)
• Had 3 children within four years
• Hurricane Katrina (Andy's parent's home was severely damaged & several of our friends and family members lost their homes)
• Experienced the loss of Andy's dad

Those are just the experiences that have had the most impact on our lives and our marriage. Everyday has not been fun nor easy, but we have grown closer through our experiences. I'm so blessed to have a husband who loves and values his family and makes us his number one priority. I can honestly say that every decision Andy has ever made, he has put me and my feelings first as he made his decision. Thank you Andy for the past 9 years.....You are such an amazing husband!! I love you!
