9 years!

Today Ross and I celebrate our 9th Wedding Anniversary!

I wish that I had some more pictures to share of our wedding - but all our photos are in storage somewhere in the US...... I did find this picture of us in front of the wedding chapel in Evanston, IL.

It seems hard to believe that it's been 9 years already! I am truly blessed to call Ross my husband. He is a wonderful father to our 4 beautiful children.... always putting me and our family first in everything he does!

Kind of ironic that we backpacked in Europe (England, France, and Germany) for our honeymoon and now we are actually living over here ! I would never have guessed that in a MILLION YEARS!!!

The 9th anniversary is to be celebrated with gifts made of pottery and willow. The flowers associated with the 9th anniversary are poppies and the gemstone is lapis lazuli and tiger eye.

As a family - we are going to go to the town in Holland on Saturday famous for pottery to celebrate our anniversary. On Friday night - 2 of the neighbor girls are going to babysit the 3 oldest children and we'll take the baby with us for dinner!
