Here's a more recent look at the happy couple.
In some ways it feels like I've always been with Rob and in
another way I can't believe 9 years have past already.
Tonight we are going out to dinner to our favorite steak house Russells. It's been a favorite of ours for years but now the chef happens to be my brother! So we told him that when the order for two teriyaki filet mignons comes back around 4:00pm (the only reservation time they had left) make them extra special. I'm excited... their steaks melt in your mouth!
No gifts exchanged this year... or at least I didn't get him him anything so I HOPE he didn't get me anything either!! Geez, that would be bad... :) We used to get the traditional gifts for one another each year (but do it in a funny way). Like the year that it was cotton I made him under ware with cotton balls glued all over and he made a card for me out of an old shirt (I still have it). 9th is pottery & willow. So I guess some pottery would be nice... but I don't need a gift. Just being with my blue eyed baby is enough. (Everyone say it... "Awwweee" :)
Couple pictures from Christmas Night at my Aunt's house. It was great. My cousin got the Wii Fit that day from her parents so we all played (young and old) and we laughed so hard we couldn't breath! It was much needed by all.
Friday I start college online and I'm psyched. I am going for Business Management/Medical Transcription. I will get my associates in 13 months due to their accelerated program. Classes are 5 weeks at a time - no breaks over the year. Intense but I can do it all online at night after the kids go to bed. (I don't watch TV so I'm always bored anyway!) And it was great b/c they used my 2007 tax forms and we were dirt poor then so I got a ton of grants and aid.
It took me a while to get over the heartbreak of having to drop out of culinary school but I'm ready to move on now and I'm hopeful about the future.
If any one's a college football fan my sister Jess goes to Pitt and plays in the marching band so they are in TX today to play Oregon State at the 75th Brut Sun Bowl. She's tall and plays trombone... in case you try to spot her :)Please be safe tonight everyone!

I remember you girls getting all ready for the wedding and when you were completely dressed and hair all done, you stood in front of the mirror with your hands kind of nervously on your belly, caught my eye in the mirror while everyone else was talking, and asked quietly, "Am I pretty?..." It was so vulnerable and sweet. And you were beautiful!
