happy 4th!

yes, we had a happy 4th of july but what i'm talking about is our 4th wedding anniversary!!  it's hard to believe it's already been 4 years!!  what's even harder to believe is all the major events that have occurred in our lives since july 8, 2006!

• i moved into joe's apartment in kirksville, mo and got a job at truman
• we relocated to davenport in 2007 
• joe and i both started new jobs in the quad cities
• we adopted chloe, our cat
• we traveled to negril, jamaica, naples, philadelphia, nyc, venice, florence, rome, seattle, minneapolis, and denver
• joe graduated from med school
• we relocated to omaha and bought a house
• joe started residency
• we welcomed aubrey rose into our family

=4 new jobs, 3 relocations, 2 new additions to our family, and 1 newly purchased home (and much traveling in 3 different countries!) 

many happy memories have filled the last four years but we haven't been without sadness as well.  unfortunately, we've lost 4 grandparents since we were married.  it's always easier to cope with loss with someone by your side!  

so excited to see what else is in store for us!  cheers to many more years of wedded bliss!  i love you, joe!
