Nine Years / Nueve Años / Neun Jahre

Nine years ago at 10:30am, a ceremony began that changed our lives forever.


We were a little younger,
a little thinner,
a little naive-er,
(which was just right, then.)

Now, nine years in,
we love each other a little more,
understand each other a little better,
and have a family that's a little bigger.

We've endured some trials,
but shared many more laughs.

We've changed for the better,
because we have each other,
and a God who will not let us stay the same.


Yes, world, this is my man!
He can eat big sandwiches.


I'll claim him in sickness and health,
joy and sorrow,
plenty and want,
till death does us part.


And I'm sure thankful he feels the same about me!
He is a patient man, folks, a patient man.

Happy Anniversary, dude.

  4. Thanks Sarah! It's not even a burger, it's a fish sandwich with TWO pieces of fried fish; absurd. But he ate all. By himself. What a man.
