9 Years and Counting

Today Tom and I have been married for 9 years. We have had a lot of adventures in those years. Actually we have pretty much grown up together. We started dating in high school and then dated for 6 years before we got married. While we were engaged, I started my fist job as a nurse and Tom finished up college. We started building our first house 6 months before our wedding date. The contractor assured me we would be done by the wedding. HA. I should have known better. We moved into our house about 3 weeks after the wedding...i guess that isn't too bad.

After a couple of years, we welcome ATD into our lives. When he was 8 mo old we sold our house and moved to the "country". We lived there for 3 years before we moved to Kansas to start Our Great Adventure.

We moved away from all our family and moved into a 2 bedroom apartment. I got a job right away and Tom stayed home with ATD for 12 weeks. They had a blast together in those 12 weeks.

After 6 months in the apartment, we bought our current house. Right after moving in, we started a major remodle on the upstairs. The 3 of us shared a bedroom on the first floor for almost a year. About the time we finished the upstairs, OTD joined the family.

Currently, we are expecting baby #3 in about 2 months. We are still remodling/updating the house.

We have learned alot about life and each other over the past 9 years. I look forward to what lies ahead for us.....
