Nine Blissfully Insane Beautifully Crazy Years....

Today is our 9th anniversary, and boy it really has gone fast. Not to say that it was easy or forgetful, it just went by fast...I wanted to share a glimpse of how it all began....

Boy asks girl out on date. They date.

Girl makes boy go to high school dances even though he is graduated (what losers go to dances after they graduate? jk I forced him) because she had to go because it was part of her grade for being an officer.

Girl and boy walk down aisle.....

at her sister, and his brother's wedding.

Boy saves money buys fancy sports car.

Girl graduates from highschool.

Boy sells fancy sports car, and buys ring. Asks Girl to marry him.

Boy and Girl get married at 12...no kidding I was 18, and he was 21.

Boy and Girl buy jeep, go four wheeling, spend every dime on eating out, playing and having what seems to be fun.

Boy gets girl pregnant. They have their first kid.

2 years 9 months later they do it again.

9 years, 2 kids, 5 moves, 7 jobs, 1 degree (you decide who got it), 7 cars, 4,025 fights, 975 hugs, 2500 kisses (we aren't pda people) later. We are still together....


If you have time to spare and want to read this little story my Dad wrote it is very dear to my heart.

Happy anniversary - I'm glad you got to spend it with me and my kids at chick-fil-a... (we're still waiting for livi and abi to come over and it's 11:49 p.m.)

Your family is crazy! Cool to!

Anna said...

Happy Anniversary! You guys are a great couple and maybe the fighting has been less frequent since Brandon and I aren't around for you to fight in front of us.

The letter from your dad was amazing.

Happy anniversary! Love the post. We're at 9 years too. Seems like forever sometimes. I'm making Ryan take me to Hawaii next spring for the big 1-0! Maybe you should start working on your husband too. Ten years equals big fancy trip, right?

Kadee said...

Happy Anniversary you two! Love the post. I have to admit I got a little teary eyed. I think it was the song combined with pictures. Too cute. What a letter too! Thanks for sharing. Sure love you guys!

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one who married right out of high school... Phew. :) You two are so great! I love your little story and pics. Very cute!!
Oh, and 10 years DOES equal "BIG FANCY TRIP!!" I got mine to Hawaii that year as well. You should definitely push for that one!
Congratulations you two!!

i really liked what your dad wrote, not many father in laws would take time to write something like that...you aren't so bad either.

Tammi said...

Ok, Whitt...Too many things to comment on...FIRST--I LOVE the cute play-by-play of your courtship and marriage---SOOO cute (and the song was perfect)! Second, I can't believe your dad wrote that story about Jason--I know why you love it...Third, tell Jason congrats on his political success and reaching all those goals...Fourth, Dani's poem was really sweet--and true of course--you really do just have somethin' about you that makes everyone want to be around you! I love ya and miss you a lot...Come visit me!

Happy 8 years!!! Did I ever tell you that overalls are very flattering on you? Jason looks like a baby in those pics. LOVED THEM!! Brian and I got a good laugh. We feel bad we didn't make it to Jason's bday party. When can we hang out. We miss you guys.

Alicia said...

Happy Anniversary, As the mother of the Boy, I am so proud of him and have so many happy memories of his life. Your writings and pictures are absolutely amazing. Thanks for the good cry that I got out of reminiscing about your dating and wedding and Jason's life. Whittney, you are equally amazing. Love you both.
