We celebrated our 9th Anniversary on June 29th. The kids and I were all dressed up and the table was set with our china when Dave got home. He loved his fancy family but said, sheepishly, that he couldn’t bear to put on his fancy clothes. The combination of the warm weather and having to wear nice clothes to work were good enough reasons for me. Dinner was great and the conversation with the kids was even better. We told them all about our wedding day. Amelia hung on every word and when she had to go check on something she said “pause, pause, so I don’t miss anything”. After all the details we had to take a look at our pictures. Dave and I felt so lucky and loved when we saw everyone who celebrated with us that day. Wow! It was an amazing day and has been a wonderful and fast 9 years since.
