9 years!!

My goodness...how time flies when you're having fun!  Today, Brad and I have been married 9 years. For the record, we have moved 9 times, have together had over 15 jobs and have been blessed with the most beautiful 2 girls anyone could ever ask for. Thank you, Lord, for carrying us through this magnificent, often scary, yet extremely joyful journey. We are eternally grateful you brought our paths together.  We learned very early on that, we may not have it all together, but together we have it all. :) So, here's a little mini storyboard for "The past nine..."

Katelyn's Dance Recital

Yay! We finally had our end of the year dance recital! It was wonderful and such a thrill for me to get to watch Katelyn (and be a 'backstage' mom!). I remember so many dance recitals growing up and it was more fun to watch Katelyn and all those sweet little girls have fun on stage as it was to get to perform as a little one! Katelyn was so focused and did beautifully! She has a natural grace about her and I was mesmerized by her presence on stage. I had to keep reminding her to smile and try to RELAX - she was SO intense...that's MY girl!
