Happy Anniversary To Us!

It is nine years today!  Since it is Ash Wednesday today, we did some celebrating yesterday.  I made Pad Thai for dinner and Creme Brulee for dessert, and Dan brought home a box of candy, which we all shared.  It was Fat Tuesday!  Saturday we are going to go out on a date, thanks to Dan's brother and his wife.  So we get to celebrate twice!

This picture is from our honeymoon in Italy.  We began our trip in Rome, where we were able to receive the newlywed blessing from Pope John Paul II.  You can see the actual picture of him blessing us in the sidebar.  The picture above was taken after that, in front of St. Peter's Cathedral.  I felt like a princess walking around the streets of Rome in my wedding dress.
