That's a Niner

Thousands of working hours
Hundreds of dates
Countless Laughs
A few tears
10 Jobs
7 Homes
4 States
2 Kids
9 Years of Marriage


Because being social isn't a high priority for Tj most people don't get to know him as well as I do. They don't see the extent of his wit or intelligence. They don't get to see the way as soon as a hurdle is placed in front of him he immediately begins to find a way to get over it. And most people don't get to see him laugh so hard that he cries. But even with the glimpse that most people see they are drawn to him. And because I do see all of these characteristics-and more- I feel most fortunate that I've been married to him for nine years. Not only is he a wonderful father, an excellent provider and defender of our family and a loving husband but he's also just a good man. So here's to another nine years, and nine more after that and nine more after that!

My Hero.

Happy Anniversary! Sheesh...can't believe it's been 9 years. Brings back some good memories. I was just searching through some old stuff the other day and came across the "Cody House Rule Book" that Chey and I created when we all roomed together.

Ok, you guys are too cute! You really do look amazing in that pic. Though, makeup free with dirty hair you would still look great. Love the tribute to Tj.
