9 Year Anniversary

WOW...It is amazing how 9 years can come and go so fast.....we went to Hershey Park (minus 3 little ones:)). We had a great time beating ourselves up on these gigantic roller coasters (they really were as insane as they look) eating ice cream, water sliding and playing on this huge pirate ship that squirts water at you from every angle, we both felt like kids again...my neck and back will never be the same, but what better way to remember #9!

Now and then....so fun to look back to where we began, and see how much we have both grown...
Few of many lessons learned:
* friendship in a marriage is so important
* to serve each other unselfishly
* appreciate, and show gratitude
* freely forgive
* to not expect perfection, or demand it
* to enjoy being where you are today,
and most importantly the realization that and-they-lived happily-ever-after, is sadly disillusioned , and that marriage is an every day, and every way relationship which is built on trust, humility, understanding, faith and most importantly unconditional love.....looking forward to 9 more....
