Nine is Fine!

Today is our anniversary! We have been married 9 years. One of my friends once said "The only thing special about your 9 year anniversary is that it's almost your 10th." It is kind of a odd number of years. So in that spirit, here are 9 Odd Facts about our relationship.

9.) We met at church on the first Sunday I visited First Baptist Loganville. We both new that day that we were meant to be together.

8.) On our first date we did dinner and a movie. We ate at "On the Boarder" and went to see "Pearl Harbor". Then we went back to my house and talked til 2 in the morning.

7.) The night we met his parents, he didn't warn me that we were going to go meet them. He just said, "Hey, you're going to  meet my parents tonight." I got to meet his Grandma that night too since she happened to be up from Fla.

6.) We had a 4 month engagement.

5.) Even though we got married in August, there was a weird weather pattern over GA and it was low 70s and drizzly for a few days before and after our wedding. (Or it would have been in the 90s)

4.) Gabe's groomsmen put a can of tuna on the engine block of our getaway car. It started to burn before we had gone a mile and smelled AWFUL. It was ages before the car smelled normal again.

3.) I thought, and still do, that Gabe has the most awesome laugh ever.

2.) We used to constantly try and scare the other one. There was lots of hiding and jumping out of closets and from behind walls. It tapered off once I became completely hormonal started having babies, but we still look for the chance to really get the other one.

1.)  People say really rude and tacky things about having kids/babies/all girls. Things like, "Wow. Got stuck with all girls, huh?" Gabe has never taken the attitude that he has been 'stuck' with his girls. I say it takes a special man to be picked by God for 'all daughter duty', and an even greater man to be adopting a fourth.

Love you, Gabe!!!!
