Nine Years!

Today is our 9th Anniversary!!

Here's a little trip down memory lane...

An excited young couple prepares for their BYU homecoming date. Little did this little lady know she was in for a big surprise!

After a lovely dinner at the Joseph Smith building, a brief encounter with some former missionary companions, and a quiet walk around the Salt Lake City temple... the nervous Prince Charming kneels down and asks the lady to marry him. What excitement, what joy, what shock! Yes! Yes! Yes!

The happy and newly engaged couple goes to the homecoming ball to dance the night away!

Then came preparations, planning and engagement pictures...

The big day arrives! The happy couple were married on a beautiful, warm, sunny Arizona day!

That's more like it! And they lived happier ever after....still!

Happy Anniversary, babe! I love you!
We were smiling so hard our cheeks (the ones on our face) hurt!

Our parents... We love 'em!

I threw this one in there because my little brother just got engaged to his lovely lady! He is getting married in June! (When Kacy saw this, she got really confused! "You married Sam?")

To celebrate our anniversary this year, it was a family affair. Jim is actually in San Fran for an MBA weekend on 'the big day'. So, we celebrated last Saturday with a family dinner out and a trip to Evergreen Water Park.

It was some fun family time!

The kids came home tired and happy. I know it wasn't a romantic getaway, but we did indeed celebrate and create another new memory we will associate with the beginning of year number nine!
