celebrate | nine

We celebrated NINE whole years of being married last week with massages and dinner at our favorite spot, Stella's.  This year has been a year of self discovery for both of us, a year of doing life with our babies, a year of traveling and being at home at the white house a little more, a year of starting new things and growing old ones. What a simply ordinary life we've been given, but how extraordinary it is with you. 

Michael Alan Martin, you are my home and my adventure, all at once. 

Now, take me to Cuba. 

Photos from an anniversary shoot with Michelle Rojas Photography! Putting my wedding dress back on, hiking around in the Appalachian mountains with my boy felt like home. These photos will be printed, "nine: traipsing in the mountains, playing with our babies, traveling to Cuba (just the 2 of us)" scribbled on the back and tucked away for safe keeping for all the years to come. What a treasure.
