9 Years

I DO NOT feel like I am old enough to say this but 9 years ago today I was in the temple getting married. The time has definitely flown by and a lot has been crammed into that 9 years (3 kids, 2 houses, an innumerable # of pets and A LOT of fun/sad/scary/good/ times). I am so grateful to my two friends who invited me to take the institute class with them and then encouraged me to ask out the HOT guy in the back of the class room. While this may not be where I planned for my life to be after 9 years of marriage I am grateful for my wonderful husband who puts up with my craziness, takes great care of me and the boys and is a good example to all of us. I love you Joel. (Hahaha this post can also count as a I love you happy birthday post also).

I lost my wedding ring about 6 months ago. I kept hoping it would turn up but still has not. A couple weeks ago Joel and I went and picked out a new ring for me for an anniversary present. I still have high hopes that when we move my other ring will turn up but I LOVE my new ring.
