nine years ago today

Nine years ago today, May 26, 2001, was my wedding day.

These are all older layouts but you can see how happy and in love we were. And, we are tired and sick today but still in love and so happy together. Three cute girls and many trials and happinesses later we are still here.

It's hard to believe that after all of the anticipating and wanting and waiting the day was finally here and now almost a decade has passed.

I was hoping that by today I would be feeling better but I think that when the second wave hit Hailey I got hit even harder with this darn stubborn flu bug and I feel awful. Matt joked a few days ago about how we might have to celebrate today by sharing a Gatorade. If only he knew how right he was. Nothing tastes good yet and  I doubt there will be any major celebrating today. so sad.

But, today is a special day in our family, a day to celebrate our anniversary and also Hailey's kindergarten graduation. I am so proud of her. And, so proud of us for struggling through the rough times and enjoying and celebrating the good times. It is so worth the ride. I can't wait for eternity.

Happy anniversary, sweetheart!
