Milestones are important- they track the path we've gone on and leave a mark on the timeline of our own personal histories. Today is one of those milestone moments in that I have been married to the love of my life for 9 years. I am absolutely befuddled as to where the time has gone. I looked at this picture of my new husband and I getting into our get away car and I am stunned by how young we look. If he only knew then what he was getting into.... I think he got a whiff of it when I insisted on doing all the calligraphy on our invitations, the floral arrangements, the cake and even my veil by myself. That DIY mentality is something in my genes I suppose. The day I got married was an absolute picture perfect Fall day here in Michigan- if I can steal a phrase from my 5 year old, "It was the bestest day ever...." I am so grateful for my husband. We certainly make a wonderful team and I know for a fact that I could not do what I do if it were not for his support. As many of you may or may not know, Tim is the one who kits my classes and helps fix the computery things, he is the guy who makes sure the right rubbermaid bins get to the right location and he is the one who keeps me sane. He doesn't mind it if the smoke detector goes off while I am working downstairs in the studio, and he is the guy who will stay up to "o'dark thirty" just to make sure he is there to greet me at the door when I fly in from somewhere. I am truly grateful to have the most amazing husband in the universe.
Happy Anniversary, Sarah! What a beautiful photo! Mai-Liis

OMGOODNESS! Robin, how are you? You are absolutely right, blessed beyond words or measure. There is an awesome Brad Paisley song that talks about how if being in love were an airplane (knowing the odds of failure) nobody would get on.... You totally made me smile today!

Congratulations, Sarah! From someone who's about to reach 13 on the marriage front on 11/5, I know how special these milestones are. And I think there are fewer and fewer people who really know how it feels to be 9 or 13. We are both blessed. Hugs - Robin
