9 years already?!

Jason and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary on June 24th--we were lucky enough to have a date night the other night and went to dinner and a movie--I even tried some sushi and shashmi? (I don't know it was raw fish is all I know- Jason knew what he ordered us from his time in Japan). It was fun to spend some time alone without the kids which we don't seem to get around to doing much! I can't believe we've already been married 9 years...I wish we would have kept track of how much we've actually been together in the same state/home during our marriage--I know during at least the first 4-5 years we were apart more than together thanks to Jason being gone with the Army! I've possibly spent more anniversary dates with my friend Katie (right Katie?) due to Jas being deployed or at training. It has definitely been nice having him around more!! I think we partly have the Army to thank for making our marriage so strong as its not always easy being married in the Army but you learn to appreciate what you have and the time you have together! Thank you for the past nine years honey!!
