Will ya look at us?!
This picture just happens to be the turning point in our relationship. LOL. No joke! Stann was my own personal lifeguard that day....and probably one of the things that made me come to love and respect him.
That and he's mighty impressive in his "flying squirrel" re-enactments. lol. I probably chose unwisely having him as a boat member - our boat quickly was the target of many an attack - as he and Aziz would fly out and yank people out of their respective boats. Hmmm. Maybe I did do good. No one yanked me out! lol.
Little known fact: Stann proposed to me dressed as a Catholic priest. I was dressed like Mary Katherine Gallagher. No joke. (Ten points if you can name where that's from! LOL).

We were married in the Portland Temple on January 8, 2000.
Nine years. (sigh)
Gosh time's flown by so quickly!!!
It's been a pretty fun go-round I must admit!
We've seen some pretty amazing stuff happen in those 9 wonderful years! Good and bad...
We've said goodbye to some close friends....
Whether they've moved or passed away...
We got to cheer our SeaHawks on (Go HAWKS!) at the play-offs...
THAT was a memorable Anniversary!!
We were blessed with 2 beautiful boys....(Some days I think I may even want a third...!)
We've had 6 cars we've said good-bye to....4 different residences (all in Oregon I might add)...
We've played hard....Laughed hard....and loved each other thru it all.
I'm so glad we've gotten this far!
And I can honestly say....

It doesn't seem so long ago when Katie and I were helping with your wedding announcments at your moms kitchen table... And Katie joked around about Stann's "pirate shoes..." =) Congrats!!! and I had a great Christmas... It looks like yours was pretty fun too. I Love Christmas time....
Congrats. Thanks for posting all the pictures. I missed out on all of that. And I was always wondering when you got married. We got married shortly after you - so we were living parallel lives:)
I loved the history.
Happy anniversary! Wait until it's forty years or more then you really appreciate being married to your best friend.
