9 years...

9 years ago today a young, naive, Bride said her vows to a wonderful man of God who she fell in love with unexpectedly...I really didn't know what I was getting myself in to...

Today, 9 years later, that Bride is so GRATEFUL that young Bride followed her heart and married that man...My naive-ness allowed me take a leap of faith in to a man who loves me fully and unconditionally. I'm so glad I didn't think about what I was doing...and I just went with my "gut/heart"...my gut/heart does not steer me wrong...ever! You were without doubt the best decision I have EVER made! Cheers to the young Bride making the best decision of her life @ the ripe old age of 21! Although I'm pretty sure there was divine intervention so I can't take all the credit! ;)

Gary you are a GIFT!

Gary Lee you so complete me...
I am MORE in love with you today than 9 years ago, if that is even possible!
FOREVER I am yours...and thank you for being eternally mine.
Together forever my love...together forever!

Gary you are more than I could of ever dreamed of! Thank you for being so wonderful!
I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU G!

ALL MY LOVE...FOREVER!
:)

HAWAII pics!

I have finally uploaded our Hawaii pic highlights!
Looking at all these pics makes me want to go back tomorrow!!! Oh gosh, do we love Hawaii!! Every time we are there we always talk about moving permanently...it is just so complicated with the schooling for the kids...private schools are really the only way to go...not to mention we would really miss our family and friends! We'll see if we ever end up over there..? God, what do you think?

There are a TON! ENJOY! :)

I love my boys!!!

Ashley (my cousin!) came out for a few days with us!!! We love you Ash! This was the day she was leaving...Maki was not so happy about it.

He pushed that chair everywhere!

She was so excited to have those umbrellas!

Maki's snack she made!

Zach's 1st haircut! Why does my husband look scared with me holding those scissors? haha

Zach not really getting the concept of binoculars! ;)
