It's hard to believe that Bryan and I have been married for nine years. On one hand it feels like forever, and on the other is seems so short! Here are nine facts about the two of us:
- We were going to get married on Thursday September 9, 1999 (9-9-99) but there was a BYU football game and my dad is a season ticket holder. And you thought BYU football was big at your house!
- We went to Glacier National Park for our honeymoon. It was off-season so there wasn't a ton of people there. It was so nice!
- We have lived in three different places, and driven five different cars between the two of us. We have lived in three cities as well.
- We both dream of building our own house.
- We met at work. My last day was the day we got married. We couldn't have worked together and lived together.
- We used to play on a bowling league, and softball teams together. So much fun!
- Bryan is always hot. I am always cold. He drives with the AC full blast and I am bundled in a blanket. And that is just fine.
- He cheers for USAFA football and I cheer for BYU football. We both cheer for Utah Jazz. I cheer for the Salt Lake Bees and he (and our oldest) cheer for the Portland Beavers. I watch gymnastics and chick flicks, and he watches with me.
- He proposed to me with a gum-ball machine ring at a stocked fishing pond with his niece, nephew and sister present. We had never discussed marriage. It was perfect.

Aww! Happy Anniversary! Nine years can feel so long, eh? We're approaching 10 and it blows my mind. Where did the time go? And at the same time, haven't we been married for 30?
I'm always cold, too! Oh, and the BYU football thing? Dude, your dad and my husband are like twins. :)
Love you! Hope you have a great day!
Happy Anniversary!!
My hubby amd I Celebrate 20 years next Wednesday, and we met at work too! Many more happy years to you!
9 years? flip. I remember your reception with the cheese cake buffet. I thought that was the best thing I'd ever seen.
And I wanted to get married on 5/5/05 but my sister in law had an AP test, so we got married on 5/7/05... not the same.
Congrats! I can't believe it's been 9 years...I remember when you two started dating! I love the pic of you guys!!
happy ninth! we celebrate ours dec. 3rd. it sure does go by fast! i think i would have had a hard time changing the date from 9-9-99 for a football game. you are very accomodating!
i tend to be more cold than my husband, except when i am pregnant! dual-climate control is a reoccuring discussion in our household!
loved your list!
A gumball machine ring! That is so funny. What the rest of the story there?
I love this post and the things that I learned about you. Happy Anniversary to two very blessed people.
Yay, happy anniversary. How fun. :)

Congrats on nine years! How come your wedding dress is so pretty and so stylish still? Oh, wait. Because you have good taste, that's why.
9 years? Awesome!!
Your dress is beautiful.
I love the proposal with the gum ball machine ring. How fun!
Congratulations on 9 years - what an accomplishment! My hubby and I are just reaching #1 this weekend and look forward to many more together, as I'm sure you guys are too!
p.s. Remember how we were travel swap partners awhile back... and you sent me those fun puzzle books?! I will be putting them to great use this very weekend as we are FINALLY taking a roadtrip! Excited to tackle them.
Happy Anniversary a few days late!
