Seven Year Itch

**Those of you readers who can't stand a little cheese, please, by all means look away**

Today is our 7 year anniversary.  Happy anniversary to us!

So, to go along with tradition, let's do some counting...

We've moved 6 times

We've owned 4 houses

We've owned 8 vehicles

We've had 10 jobs (that doesn't include remodeling houses, teaching piano, or doing photography, and all but 2 of those were Shane's...)

We've delivered 3 children

We've potty trained 3 children

We've provided food, shelter, and love (ie: parented) to 4 children

We've owned 2 dogs, 2 geckos, 1 snake, 1 horned toad, approximately 10 fish, and 18 chickens

We've owned 3 sets of couches

We've traveled over 25,000 miles on vacations

We've spent approximately 6 nights away from the kids

We've gone through 3 cameras

And I can't wait for a hundred more anniversaries.  I love you Shane, you're the best husband a girl could ask for!

And now, for an exclusive, first time look at some pictures of our wedding, because though we did have someone taking pictures for us, I'm not sure we ever got them, or printed them, or....(see above list, life kind of happened and pictures were not the biggest concern most of the time)...

So these pictures are compliments of someone who had their camera ready, honestly I'm not even sure who took them, but we found them within the last year, and I scanned them in today.  Yay!

The family, man, we were young!

Lincoln, as he was handing us our rings, which just moments before were lost in the grass by his seat.  We were laughing with relief...

Gross, I know...right in front of my father-in-law and everyone else!

Doyle and Shane, waiting for Lincoln and me to make the really long walk down the "aisle"

Cutest picture EVER, right?  Lincoln's looking at me, carrying the ring box, and I'm trying my hardest not to trip on the grass with my chunky flip-flops and drag him down with me.

All in unison, AWWWW.  Lincoln in a tux, me and my boys...it was a great day. 

Did you note the wedding colors?  Burnt orange and white?  Yep, UT fans to the end.  Hook 'em horns...
