Micky and I celebrated our 9th anniversary with a delicious dinner out at Anthony's on the river. Our plan for patio seating was interrupted by a rain shower, but we still had a beautiful view of the falls from the window inside. The Northwest is such a gorgeous place to call home.
Here's a countdown for our 9 years:
9 - Fun and frenzied and blessed years as a married couple- MANY ups and downs included
8 - Legs running around from practice to school to work and church and the lake... and home!
7 - An amazingly smart and sweet 7-year-old graces our world everyday - Benjamin
6 - Means of transportation- if you count the waterways and the highways and by-ways
5 - Our delightful, funny and creative 5-year-old who lights up our lives - William
4 - Sets of arms to embrace, hug, comfort, nurture and even pick up one another (if need be)
3 - Jobs that keep us busy- Engineering, Nursing and Parenting
2 - Beautiful homes that we share: Our little house and fantastic cabin on the lake
1 - More sweet little one on the way!
We thank God for these blessings and those too numerous to count that we expereince each day
Here's to many more anniversaries to follow!

Zibby~Hi there, I did not know you were pregnant!!! Congratulations. The last time I saw you was right after your Grandma died and you were so sad. I am happy that everything is looking up again. I hope we can see you when Jenny is here in a few weeks.
Good to find your blog!
Love, Krista
