Nine years!

It's been nine years since Brett and I joyfully walked down the aisle to our awesome gospel choir singing, "Oh Happy Day!" And it was a happy day! Sweaty hot, but happy!


A lot has changed in nine years, not the least of which is photography. As I was looking through my photo files for one of the many great shots our photographer took on that day to post here, I realized that I was actually looking in the wrong place. All our wedding photos are in an actual physical box in my living room, not on my computer. Back in 2002 digital photography was not where it is today, and although she shot our wedding with digital (I think!), the images were outrageously expensive to buy, so we just opted for the prints. Alas, I have not one single digital photo of the two of us to post here. Sorry! I do have one of me, alone, but still, I have a veil on. This wasn't even taken on our wedding day, but a month or so before when we were practicing with my hair! Oh well!




In nine years we have:

Lived in 5 different homes in 4 cities and 2 countries.
Had two great kids.
Gotten one PhD.
Held at least a dozen different jobs combined.
Visited 12 (maybe more?) countries on vacation.
Started lots of great family traditions.
And had a great time!


We are off to Quebec City next week to celebrate our anniversary! I am really looking forward to it. We chose it because we could feel like we were in Europe with the architecture and the French language, but not have to cross the pond and save a few thousand dollars! I'll post pictures when we get back!
