Happy 9 Years!

Nine years ago today I married my sweet husband. With every year that passes, I love him even more. We met on our first day at Texas A&M University. I remember we were talking and after hearing his last name (which I had no idea what he had just said) and that his birthday was the day before mine, he had to get out his drivers license for me to see his last name written and to see his birthday really was the day before mine. Little did I know that one day I would be taking this very confusing last name for myself AND sharing my birthday! Our lives have changed drastically from those college days! We started out both working full time, traveling the world on my AA flight benefits, Brandon cooking all of our meals, and sleeping in on Saturdays. Today we are a family of four loving life as it exists now...as crazy as it is! We are so blessed! We will be celebrating tomorrow with a nice quiet dinner ALONE at a little french restaurant and with a day of movies, shopping and whatever we want on Friday! I am looking forward to some quality time just the two of us!
The only picture I had that was not in our massive wedding album (which are too large to scan) was the above proof taken from the back of the church. Here is our engagement picture from the summer before our wedding.
