4 years!

Well it's been 4 years (and 3 days) since we were married.  I can't even believe how fast time flies!  I also can't believe how much happiness and fun can be had in just 4 short years.
 As I was driving to work on our anniversary I began reflecting on all that has taken place in our lives in the last four years and I was pretty impressed with us!  :) Ha-Ha!  So I thought I'd document the list, so we can remember how great these first 4 years have been.

  • Mike getting his bachelors degree. (2009)
  • Mike getting accepted into ASU's grad program. (2009)
  • Moving to AZ! (2009)
  • Me getting my bachelors degree. (2010)
  • Me getting my first job teaching 5th grade. (2010)
  • Mike getting an internship with Sandia National Labs in Albuquerque, NM and living there for a summer. (2011)
  • Mike graduating with his master's degree from ASU. (2011)
  • Mike getting into the PhD program at ASU. (2011)
  • Mike getting an INCREDIBLE scholarship from the Department of Defense. (more on this in a later post) (2012)
And those are just the major milestones.  That's not including all of the fun trips and fun experiences we have had.  It's been a great four years and I can definitely say with confidence that I love him more and more each day.  We both feel very blessed in our life and know that we owe it all to our Heavenly Father. 
 
Here's an updated family picture that was taken by a very dear friend a few weeks ago.

 And here's this one, just because I like it a lot. :)
