how long?!?!!

today six years ago clif and i were married. sometimes it seems like six minutes, sometimes like sixty years. it is hard to believe all the things we have experienced in the last six years... together. together is the key, we couldn't have done it without the other. so here, for your pleasure is a little trip down memory lane...beware 17 pictures follow...if you know us at all, you know why 17! (oh, who are we kidding, it's for our pleasure!!)

in 2001 in atlanta at aunt jan's. this is when we spilled the beans to clif's family we were getting engaged! we had only been dating about two months...

in the summer of 2001 at a friend's wedding. who are those skinny people?

new year's eve at the cotton bowl. the coldest day i can remember in a LONG LONG time...i know i had on at least four layers on top.

at a dinner with friends in the spring before we were married. i particularly love the way clif is holding my hand!

in north carolina on the dock with the day family. those were the days when all i owned were high heels...what was i thinking?

our little family back then...i can't remember gigi as a puppy, but here is the proof.

our wedding day march 9, 2002. good times! :)

the day we signed papers on our first house 2003. we had no idea what we were doing! the first night we sat in the den, ate pizza on boxes, and dreamed of how we would "fix" it.

outside our first house in late summer 2003. notice the flat shoes beginning to emerge...

on the boat at lake norman 2004. oops...what happened to my hair?!

in joan's garden. i loved that dress...clif still hates that shirt.

the day our first child was born, september 9, 2o05. aka the somer eats clif photo.

on our anniversary last 2007. on our little trip, and pregers with bauer.

at pensacola beach last summer. a beautiful day to show vivian the ocean for the first time.

the day our son was born. one of my all-time favorites.

vivian's 2nd birthday party. ever notice how hard it is to get four people to look at the camera and smile?!

our little family now.

we've come a long way, cliffy...i love you...here's to many more years of adventures together!
