9 Years Baby!

9 years ago yesterday, Adam and were doing this before our friends and family. . .
We had waited 6 1/2 years for this day to come, which seemed like forever! (especially since we had to sit through 5 other weddings in the 3 months leading up to ours!)


It's so hard to believe that we are now 9 years into this marriage!

It seems like just yesterday we were on our way to Jamiaca for our honeymoon. There was no tropical vacation involved with this anniversary celebration, but we did make a 2 hour trip to purchase this. . .

It kind of makes me giggle. I don't think Adam or I would have considered this exciting 9 years ago, but time sure does change your perspective on things. While we both were happy to be upgrading (since our old van was starting to become unreliable) we were more excited to get it home and show it to the kids, because we knew they would go bonkers. Bryson saw it and said "What! We have a TV like Aunt Heidi and moving doors like the Hershey's (Our good friends). This is great!" While it's still a minivan, Adam and I were excited to gain back some of the fun stereo features we lost when we gave up our "sporty cool" car to meet the needs of our growing family.

Funny how things change, huh? We just celebrated 9 years on June 2...no big trip or "second" honeymoon for us, either. We didn't even get a minivan! Congrats and Happy Anniversary to you and Adam!
