9 Years

I can't believe Rickie and I have been married 9 years today. I've been thinking of all the things that have happened in that time and it's hard to believe it go by soooo fast.

* We've had 3 1/2 kids

*We've bought 2 houses

* We've had 3 different cars (including the one I had when we got married)

* We've lived in two different towns

* We've been to California on vacations twice...wish it was more.

* We had 2 brothers and 1 sister get married.

* Had 9 1/2 nieces and nephews born (only 3 on my side)

* We've driven kids all over the place getting them where they need to be

* Been to lots of dance recitals

* We've had our share of fights....and lots of good days

* Rickie has driven thousands of miles back and forth between home and Beaver and instilled a love of the farm in our kids

* We've had 2 dogs, 6 cows and a few cats but only 2 that have ever been around longer than a couple of days

* We've made some good friends and have come to know how important family is

That's all I can think of right now. There have been some very significant things change over the years and lots of little things that may not make too big of difference in the long run, but the last 9 years have been good and we have been very blessed. Hope the next 90 are as good!
