9 Years

Us through the years...


February 19th Jamie and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary. We went to lunch with the boys and that night went to a preschool dance with the kids oh and then Rhonda and Ryan (friends who's daughter also goes to Luke's preschool) asked for us to join them at the nasty Mexican restaurant. They thought it was gross too so I can say that. I was still full from our lunch so did not really order a full meal but what I had was gross and everyone else said their meals were also gross. Anyway, our anniversary was not romantic but I was nice. Maybe next year we will make a big deal of it because it will be our 10 year. Oh also, I did not get Jamie a gift... I know so wrong. He got me a card and some robin egg candies. I then asked him to stop buying me cards.... $4.00 for him to sign his name on something... I can live without. Okay so you probably get this was not the anniversary to remember. I am not bitter I promise although this post really sounds bitter. Let me indulge on memories of our wedding day....

We were running late to the Temple. I was stressed out. We walk in and Jamie is sitting there looking pale. We had a small interview with the Temple President and then we walked out and went to our dressing room. As we sat Jamie did not look at me much or talk to me. The guy that was helping us through everything actually told him that he could tell me I looked pretty. Jamie then said "you look nice" He had so many nerves he was literally sick. After we were married he was not pale anymore and he was fine. We had a lunch with the wedding party and family and then headed to the reception hall for pictures. When we got there my Dad took off with my car with my wedding dress inside. I was very annoyed with him and I am sure showed my feelings to everyone. On our way to the hotel Jamie would not talk much because he thought his friends put a tape recorder in the car. It was then I realized I married a freak case!

9 years later... Jamie does not care who hears him expressing his love to me. He is still adored and can't do wrong in my parents eyes. He still get's ill when nervous (he was just called to 2nd counselor in the bishopric when called to come to the stand he was just as pale as our wedding day). I still wear my heart on my sleeve. And I know he puts up with a lot from me. At the end of the day we are a wacky little couple who have been through a lot this past year. I am thankful to say it has brought us closer. He has been a shoulder for me to cry on. He has given a lot of great advise and some stupid man advice as well. He adores his family and I am so thankful to have him in my life!
