It’s hard to believe that it has been 9 years. I searched in vain for that special gift.

I googled and oogled the net for that perfect idea for something that I could do or give for that perfect gift that did not cost anything. I reminisced alot about all of the years, the working and playing and constant learning. Nothing could come close to the feelings that I have for you and the memories that you have given me so far. I searched for something as romantic as Tracy Byrd’s Keeper of the Stars playing while the lyrics scrolled against the starry scene. Yes, it was 10 years ago when IRC discovered the command “/play” and courtship changed forever!

It was 9 years ago today that I agreed to marry Prince Charming if he could find someone to marry us on Labor Day at 1 A.M. in Las Vegas (when I thought the city workers would be off). And on a sad note, it was nine years ago that the world lost it’s true fairy tale princess.

It has been 9 years of working and loving and forgiveness and passion that has created our wonderful family of five and I would not trade any moment of it!

The years have gone so fast. It was no accident…. me finding you……someone had a hand in it…… long before we ever knew.

I love you, sweetheart. Happy Anniversary!

P.S. Here’s the traditional 9th Anniversary gifts, *sigh* if only I had money.

Pottery:

Leather (Okay, there were alot of other pics to choose from in this category - but hey - nine years still doesn’t remove jealousy!):

And finally, in Merry Ol’ England, I hear the traditional is Hay:

So…. “HAY!”

*KISSES**KISSES**KISSES**KISSES**KISSES**KISSES**KISSES**KISSES**KISSES*

Psst…. aren’t ya glad I don’t have money???
