Happy 9th Anniversary!

September 24th was our ninth wedding anniversary.  This year we did something a little different...we finally had some wedding pictures taken!  Not something we had planned to do, but the opportunity sort of fell into our lap.  So here's the story: back in March, we attended a charity event with a silent auction.  I, of course, bid on all of the professional photographer sessions.  When I found out we had won a package, I was thinking we would have a family picture taken and it would be no big deal.  I looked up the photographer's website and found out they only do wedding, bridal, and engagement sessions.  Uhhhh, what are we going to do with that?!  Then I started chatting with the photographer and told him our story about how we were to be married on the white sand beaches of Destin and the pictures should've been amazing...however, Hurricane Rita had other ideas and we were married in a room with no windows and have ZERO wedding pictures displayed in our house because they are all dark and blurry.  For someone who loves pictures, this has always made me a little heartbroken.  One day after our ninth wedding anniversary, I got the dress out of the attic, hired a babysitter, and now we finally have some beautiful pics (and a good story to go along with it).  It was kind of romantic to put the dress back on and be transported back to where it all started.  All we were missing was some sand...
